It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Here's an 8-min video on (initially-secret) Customs & Border Patrol report, which found: in many vehicle shooting cases, agents intentionally put themselves in exit path of vehicle, thereby creating justification for the use of deadly force.

Today would be a great day for Donald Trump to stroke out while taking a crap, J.D. Vance to sever his dick with his zipper, and Stephen Miller to fall into an open manhole. If you can dream it, it can happen.

Why plz, Guardian, is this story found under ‘wildlife’ on my Guardian app. There is nothing wrong with the story but it isn’t wildlife is it? It’s no wonder that a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government is rubbish at wildlife if the Guardian is too. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

So often, a judicial review has been the only way communities can defend their local ecosystems, like the wild native kelp forests in Bantry Bay, West Cork.

Now the government wants to put that avenue out of reach.

Please tell them you're totally against this disgraceful step.
Have your say by January 15 deadline.

In all our time in An Taisce, this is one of the biggest threats to environmental protection that we have ever faced. These proposed changes are clearly unlawful, undemocratic & unfair.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.
