ICE is now arresting people for asking to see a warrant. NYC City Comptroller was arrested by ICE for walking an immigrant home from court. Of course the secret police were wearing facemasks and covering their badge numbers. For all we know, this elected official was just disappeared by random street goons.

Additional footage of the arrest shows Lander telling immigration officials: “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.
“You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” Lander can be heard saying.
The officials, two of which were wearing masks, then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs. It remains unclear why he was arrested.

well shit, someone should notify Trump to not listen to his Centcom commander and instead let him know captainant and chainsaw from surlyhorns have better info.
I mean, his Director of National Intelligence was propogating russian talking points in 2022 about Ukraine being an aggressor and building bioweapons labs, and traveled to Syria in 2017 to meet with Bashar al-Assad and accuse the US of funding terrorists in the middle east.
But let he who's military industrial complex has not falsely claimed WMD's to justify an aggressive war of regime change throw the first shoe

Centcom commander claims that they could have up to 10 nukes within 3 weeks given current stockpiles and enrichment capabilities.
Even IF they could enrich that much uranium, the metallurgy to mold, cast, and machine nuclear metals would take a loooooong fucking time too. This is shit where even being off by a micron can cause a nuclear fizzle instead of a critical mass. I really doubt that they could go from mid-grade uranium to finished warheads in three weeks. That's just absurd without an existing pipeline that's been at cold-war era level of production

Article is from April 2025
I do think if he's not outright lying, he's leaving out key context that causes his statement to be extremely misleading at best

No but it really makes it feel like time is a circle.
At least old comedy sketches from the mid-2000's are coming back into relevancy again! Cracks me up that they've just been re-uploading sketches as they become relevant again

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.
The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.
Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.
Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.
Doctors and other medical staff can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on their marital status, political party affiliation or union activity, documents reviewed by the Guardian show. The changes also affect chiropractors, certified nurse practitioners, optometrists, podiatrists, licensed clinical social workers and speech therapists.
In making the changes, VA officials cite the president’s 30 January executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”. The primary purpose of the executive order was to strip most government protections from transgender people. The VA has since ceased providing most gender-affirming care and forbidden a long list of words, including “gender affirming” and “transgender”, from clinical settings.
Medical experts said the implications of rule changes uncovered by the Guardian could be far-reaching.
They “seem to open the door to discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected”, said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of rape and sexual assault – current or past political party affiliation or political activity, and personal behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use”.

have they tested food and water over in europe or other parts of the world? are these forever chemicals only present in the land of the free?
They're definitely a problem and will give you cancer in Europe or America. Their waterways are contaminated from a history of warfare and industry, but they have rules in place to at least try to reduce further release and contamination and aren't doing a #yolo like we are

Not saying this had anything to do with it but it demonstrates that total loss of electrical power has been a thing in the past.

I just watched the first episode of Clone Wars and I just don’t think I can do it. That was awful.
The first couple seasons of clone wars is a kids show, but there's some real juice there. I'll find a skip list and post it, because there's definitely some stuff better off without lol. But the series brings SO MUCH depth to Anakin's characterization and fall to the dark side during the literal years of war during the Clone Wars.
And honestly, if you don't wanna watch it all you can skip to the last 4 episodes of season 7, which start right at the beginning of ROTS and runs in a parallel timeline THROUGH order 66. There's definitely some spoilers jumping that far ahead, but the animation and production quality would be right at home on the silver screen

It sounds like the plane shut down and all the pilot could do is call in and say we’re going down. Which sounds more like a Boeing problem than a pilot problem. I would much prefer a pilot problem.
A third and imo, more likely possibility: a maintenance problem. There's been a ton of chatter about India Air's generally poor maintenance standards, and that this airframe in particular had gremlins.
A simultaneous loss of power in both engines is preposterously unlikely without some upstream failure like an interruption in fuel flow, or some other corner case.
With that said, the 787s have been known lemons for a while. Boeing's production quality has gone into the shitter as they've optimized their business operations for profitablity

Thats sarcasm right? It's already been discussed behind closed doors, if a choice has been made is all that's TBD/announced. Israel knew their end game before they set the first missile loose.
You'd like to think so, but Bibi is playing the dangerous game. He's trying to escalate conflicts to burnish support from his base via nationalism, so that he can retain power and continue to escape criminal prosecution

He was so close with Walz he had him on his hit list. Why are you so insistent on this propaganda line?
ABC news has new reporting on who was on the list:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/gov-walz-rep-omar-dozens-minnesota-democrats-gunmans/story?id=122847427
Dozens of Minnesota Democrats were on a target list written by the gunman, according to law enforcement sources.
The Minnesota Democrats on the list included Gov. Tim Walz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and state Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter.
Police said the list -- which was retrieved from the suspect’s vehicle -- also named Hortman and Hoffman. Both victims are Democrats and Hortman was formerly the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
The shooter’s list of potential targets also included the names of abortion providers and pro-choice activists, several sources told ABC News. Many of the Democratic lawmakers on the list have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions, two sources said.

I'm not familiar with this publication, so grain of salt but it seems reputable enough. ATC audio has become available, and they've found one of the two "black boxes" from the aircraft
Senior pilot Captain Sumit Sabharwal sent a distress call to the Ahmedabad ATC right after the plane took off. In the five-second audio, the pilot can be heard saying: “MAYDAY… MAYDAY… MAYDAY… NO POWER… NO THRUST… GOING DOWN…"

This guy's LinkedIn and other bios make him sound quite a bit like a mercenary

QuoteDr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world's largest food company based in Switzerland and the world's largest convenience retailer based in Japan.
Fuckin "Praetorian Guards Security"? Running contracts for oil refiners and "the world's largest food company based on Switzerland" - aka Nestle the water thieves?? Gimme a break with the "ZOMG he's actually LEFTIST!!!ONE!!" and actually engage with the facts of the situation.
Good lord, turning Twitter back on was a mistake. Disinformation flows in abundance from there

He got an audience already. The public needs to know why our politicians are being targeted for murder and what is driving those motivations. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the current guy in charge and his outright glee about similar situations
It bears repeating - TRUMP WANTED TO PARDON WITMERS ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPERS! He only backed off because Witmer said she opposed it, but who fucking knows with this asshole. Anything is on the table, ESPECIALLY if it ownz the libz
I would not be shocked one iota if the gunman ended up getting a Rittenhouse-type prosecution where they disallow any bit of negative contextual evidence, and narrowly charge him and botch the trial.
