"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

When I picked up Liam from Dilley to go home, he was scared. He was taken away from his home, family, school, and was imprisoned. Liam is home now, but so many children remain. ICE must be disbanded and Dilley must close. #FreeOurChildren.
Rep. Joaquin Castro, who escorted 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos from a Texas immigration detention facility back to Minneapolis last week, said ICE’s enforcement tactics should lead to the agency being disbanded.

Police who live in their communities often park their cars outside their home. Some agencies put full government names on patrol cars. CBP/ICE get paid more and do a whole lot less.
Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.
Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

So wildly unsurprised. Wealth has always been wedded to eugenics bc wealthy people want to believe theyre somehow more evolved/advanced than the rest of us.
I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.
