CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

More than half of households in Indonesia still burn trash, driven by weak waste collection and safety concerns.

The practice releases toxic particles and black carbon, harming health and warming the climate — prompting pilot projects focused on better waste systems and community action.

THIS! THIS! THIS! THIS! THIS! THIS!!!!!!

The conditions in these "detention centers" aka "concentration camps" are inhuman, and people need to see it.
Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.

But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.

No compromise.

Periodic reminder that mumps can cause testicular inflammation and subsequent infertility in post-pubescent males.
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

The drawing Kamilla made at Dilley while I spoke to her parents over Zoom this week.

It shows her near the lone tree that stands on the detention center’s grounds, butterflies fluttering around it — one of the few places, her mother said, where children sometimes see something alive and colorful.

"The lack of a narrative from Keir Starmer and Labour has been devastating on a wide range of fronts. It has allowed anti-immigrant sentiment to creep up and even partly devour the prime minister, who delivered a poorly timed and ill-conceived “islands of strangers” speech"

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
