This is also extra bad because it creates the expectation that planes appearing to be civilian aircraft might actually be military combatants. Which in turn could get actual civilian aircraft bombed by mistake
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Highlights from this crazy story we just put out-

- One of the incarcerated women has a lawyer who has spent his time misgendering his client to random social media users.

- The government's case relies on an "antifa expert" who recently suggested support for drone striking weed smokers in the US.
Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest.

They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

please call your representatives. demand they oppose censorship bills like the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and demand protections for Section 230

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

would anyone want one of these things mailed to them? probably for some kinda small fee but i honestly have no idea how to price it bc I've never done it.

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

unfortunately, Samar's account was banned. it wasn't even a new account--I guess they just didn't like that she spoke about her need for support on a post with her and Ahmad's wedding pictures.

you can still support them though:
Ahmad and Samar had to wait quite a long time to be able to marry, but there's finally some wedding pictures! Samar's got a lovely one posted as her profile banner, too.

they're looking for support to get their new life together, if you can help: bit.ly/483RUjk

This year I've decided to make more trans mugs. Last year I raised money for our local gender affirming closet.

This year, I'm looking to raise money for an organization that helps trans people in Alberta.

If you know of any orgs helping, please let me know below.

Do not patronize these companies. There are still local, family owned lumber and hardware stores many places and also ACE Hardware and True Value. HFH Restores also sell some building supplies.
“Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.”

if you've never experienced the violation of someone fucking salivating over what they'd do to you as they describe it in lurid detail, it's pretty fucking upsetting. now they've got tools to visualize it and invite others into their sick fantasy.

Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.
