I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hadeel. Before the war Hadeel’s husband was a fisherman and they tried for 11 years before they had their first child Hani who is 10 now they also have a daughter Dana, 6 and little Adam who is just 2. They’re displaced and struggling.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

I mean this sincerely: If the presence of the National Guard at Union Station is supposed to make it feel safer, they could patrol the dark parking lot at 10:30 at night instead of hanging out in front of the closed Starbucks or whatever.

It makes sense. When I was little I ate pop rocks with coca cola and now I have heart disease. Science is just like that.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

ICE agent yells 'do something, b----' before shooting Chicago woman 5 times
Martinez’s attorney, Christopher Parente, offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting(Image: Getty Images) An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Chicago is facing scrutiny after a new video shows him yelling at a local woman “do something, b—-” before pulling over and shooting her five times, a body camera video suggests. The video is in stark conflict with the government’s account that federal agents in Broadview were “boxed in by 10 cars” and the woman, Marimar Martinez, 30, was one of the drivers. “Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” officials claimed on X. However, as court documents emerge, more alleged discrepancies are coming to light. Martinez’s attorney, Christopher Parente, offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting. In the footage he claims an agent turns a federal vehicle in Brighton Park, not Broadville, into Martinez’s vehicle when he taunts her to “do something, b—-.” He then allegedly exits his vehicle and proceeds to shoot Martinez. It comes after the terrifying moment an ICE agent held a family with a baby and gunpoint and committed a shocking act was caught on camera.READ MORE: Shocking clip shows masked ICE agents shoot pastor in the face with a pepper ballREAD MORE: Donald and Melania Trump's body language exposes clash over how Barron is raised Martinez is a U.S. citizen who works for a school and has supportive letters about her character filed in court. (Image: DHS) Marimar Martinez car damage(Image: USDC) “It’s a miracle she’s still alive,” Parente said. Officials had initially alleged that Martinez was armed and rammed her car into federal agents, threatening to shoot officers. However, prosecutors now acknowledge that she did not point or display a weapon. Parente also confirmed that while she had a valid firearm, she also had a concealed-carry license. Martinez is a U.S. citizen who works for a school and has supportive letters about her character filed in court. Another victim of the shooting and co-defendant Anthony Ruiz, 21, is also a U.S. citizen and self-employed as a DJ. Both of them face federal felony assault charges for “forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer.” Screenshot from protests erupting after Ruiz and Martinez's confrontation with ICE officers(Image: ABC 7 Chicago) Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz car damage(Image: USDC) According to DHS, federal agents have arrested over 1,000 migrants in Chicago as a result of the highly-controversial operation(Image: Getty Images) The shooting in Chicago has led to heightened tensions in the city, inspiring a series of protests against the presence of ICE agents in local communities in what the administration calls “Operation Midway Blitz.” According to DHS, federal agents have arrested over 1,000 migrants in Chicago as a result of the highly-controversial operation. “During Operation Midway Blitz, our brave DHS law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests across Illinois including pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers,” McLaughlin said in a statement. The shooting in Chicago has led to heightened tensions in the city, inspiring a series of protests against the presence of ICE agents in local communities in what the administration calls “Operation Midway Blitz.”(Image: Getty Images) “Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children,” she continued. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has denounced ICE’s operation in Chicago, describing the way they treat protesters and detainees as “inhumane.” “It is clear federal agents cannot be trusted to act to protect the safety and constitutional rights of the public,” he said. It comes after ICE savagely mocked a handcuffed protester being dragged away in a controversial video.

The swarm of blackhawks over Grant Park in downtown Chicago is not only unnecessary, but menacing AND inflammatory as well. But that is Trump’s whole point isn’t it? Happening right NOW!

From the research I've seen, despite advances, pollution from helicopters, especially of the type buzzing Portland day and night (at an unnecessary expense of millions)... is pretty bad. It's also important to understand the very real physiological effects of noise pollution. Protect yourselves.

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

Incredible 🩵 “Toronto’s multibillion-dollar effort to re-naturalize a major river and the surrounding lands, was advertised as one of the “largest waterfront revitalization projects” in the world. … the discoveries have underscored the resilience of ecosystems in the face of human-led destruction.”

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

A Democrat shares a video by one of America’s most notorious antisemites. He misses the very obvious antisemitic trope in the video. He then defends the share after people point this out to him.

Incredible stuff.
