Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

A friend grew up on a farm that had geese and it did not endear him to them.

Trump doesn't even type his own tweets. But he allegedly did a whole interview via text messages? Mmhmm.

Kevin Elliott @kjephd.bsky.social · 2d

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Imagine if MLK Jr. organized a campaign for poor people. You could even have called it the Poor People's Campaign.

That would never happen.

Amid relentless Israeli bombardment, young men in Gaza gather in a small courtyard near Al-Shifa Hospital, baking bread w their weary hands.

They feed the wounded, the sick, journalists, staff , the aroma of bread rising as a symbol of life from beneath the rubble of death.

I normally wouldn't support this kind of thing but I reckon everyone, including Tony, would have been better off if he'd failed his way into a comfy defence industry consulting gig where he couldn't do anyone any harm.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

Apple removing ICEBlock while keeping TikTok… I don’t know what the solution is here but the status quo isn’t working

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 5d

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

The US is not under armed attack from drug traffickers. In fact, US consumers are begging to be "attacked" with drugs and have been more than willing to pay hyperinflated prices for the privilege! Just as drinkers were once willing to pay bootleggers huge sums for booze. Remember Boardwalk Empire?

For very important reasons what the IDF did was not piracy (as that would absolve Israel of responsibility by saying the people involved were mutineers). It was unlawful for so many reasons (see Called to the Bar ep on the last flotilla interdiction) but not piracy
