I am certain many of the people being lost by ice are being killed. We are going to find out many more were tortured or sexually abused. There are stories now of ice stealing things from the people they abduct and using it for personal use: cars, jewelry, clothes and more. Noone is safe.

I can attest it is rather difficult when you are paid a small amount of money for a short time to create something that makes someone else a half billion dollars

If you knew how little fucking money comic book creators make it would make you sick. It was disgusting when Peter David, a titan of creativity who defined decades worth of comics that have been mined for billion dollar movies was slowly dying in destitution.

Here are 12 notable works of independent journalism on Israel's crimes against humanity that you may have missed from the past 7 days.

"Crossing this 'Yellow Line' [..] constitutes a death sentence — even for children collecting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father."

"Yet not only is it poorly demarcated; it is also continuously expanding."

Last Saturday, 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth organization of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police beat the blockaders.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.

Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.
You may have gripes...nobody is perfect, but Newsom has been a great governor. He's an excellent administrator, and if you want to join the circular firing squad which has destroyed progressive politics, be it on you.

Notably, they did not *need* to comply with the order.

The president does not have the authority to compel their cooperation.

This is complying in advance and selling out one of the most vulnerable minority communities in America.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
