If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.
We need Nuremberg trials for the Trump administration officials who illegally sent these men to a torture camp. No "forward, not backward" BS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The world had accepted the outdoor prison for Palestinians which is pretty insane

I did not understand I grew up in a concentration camp until I left Gaza
Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life.

Public health is dead in the USA
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

New Israeli settlement in West Bank town near Bethlehem threatens the Christian presence in Palestine
Israeli settler groups have begun bulldozing Palestinian lands in the town of Beit Sahour to make way for a new settler outpost. The settlement threatens the existence of the largest remaining Christian community in the West Bank, residents say.

Israel Revoked a Palestinian's Work Permit. When He Tried to Cross the Wall, They Shot Him and Left Him to Die.
Before October 7, Palestinian laborers would cross into Israel for jobs. Then Israel revoked work permits and unleashed a violent crackdown.

More crimes against humanity in Israel’s ongoing genocide
"[W]hat you will hear in the Israeli media is that suspects were shot in Gaza for crossing the yellow line... You won't hear that those suspects were 10- and 12-year-old boys who were collecting firewood, and that under international law, you can't shoot children [for] cross[ing] an invisible line."
Israel has announced it will reopen the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt in the next few days. However, the border will only open in one direction: for Palestinians to exit. Israeli American human rights lawyer Sari Bashi says Israel’s goal is to “continue the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.”

"What pains me most is the world's insistence on describing this situation as a 'ceasefire' while the bombing, the killing, and the destruction continue ... What kind of ceasefire is this, when the fire never truly stops?"
What the world does not see is that, day after day, the Israeli military expands its control inside Gaza. It advances slowly, swallowing a street, a neighborhood, an entire area — quietly redrawing the map while the world celebrates a fabricated “ceasefire.”
Israel Is Quietly Expanding Its Occupation of Gaza Under Cover of “Ceasefire”
For us here in Gaza, this “ceasefire” is a fiction. The bombing has continued as Israel expands its Yellow Line.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 25 years old and before this worked in a market and a house goods store. At the beginning of the war his house was bombed and he lost 22 members of his family who were sheltering there. He is trying to save the survivors.
