This dude’s private jet is airborne over Africa again.
NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.
It’s oligarchs all the way down.

Could this be a mass distraction from the 11 Venezuelan boat strikes with 83 victims?

While several media reports have suggested that DOGE has all but fizzled out, it’s far from dead. DOGE affiliates are scattered across the federal government. Meanwhile, the DOGE ethos remains fully in force.
DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now
Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Russia hasn't got enough equipment to hand out helmets & rifles to new recruits.They are being sent to the front more or less in civvies (carrying a stick if they are lucky).

i think it's actually a lot more likely that a 35 year military veteran and commander of special operations command did the #1 most clearly established war crime in history without authorization than the dumbest person ever to be secretary of defense ordering it because it seems cool

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
