Sigint and technical rabbit holes turn me on.

ICE seen at Atlanta airport amid partial shutdown

Armed federal immigration officers in tactical gear moved through terminals at some of the busiest U.S. airports Monday, standing near security lines and checkpoints after President Donald Trump ordered their deployment during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted air travel nationwide. The officers have not screened passengers so far.

"...The shelter’s oldest resident is an 83-year-old who spent most of his life working in Florida before he was picked up and sent to a detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Many are infirm, including Ricardo Pérez, 67, who said he was pushed across the U.S. border by immigration agents in a wheelchair, or 59-year-old Luis René Lemus, who suffers from Parkinson’s and schizophrenia and has struggled to procure needed medication in Mexico. ..."

This is your reminder that Chuck Norris was a hateful, racist ghoul.

A French journalist Marine Vlahovic was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary covering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Not saying Mossad was involved, but she committed suicide by shooting herself in the back of her head.
