All Nazi/fascist = report and block.

U.S. citizens tax dollars are paying to send men to 3rd world country prisons without the benefit of due process or any expectation that they will ever be returned to the U.S. or even their country of origin. Some of these men are U.S. citizens.

INDEFINITELY

If it can happen to strangers, it can happen to you and to people you know and care about. Don't fool yourself.

What else are US citizens willing to pay for?

Justice Sotomayor called out the SCOTUS majority today for "reward[ing]" the Trump's administration's "noncompliance" with court orders today — and tied SCOTUS to the Trump administration for how their actions threaten the rule of law.

From my report at Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-scotus-allows-trump-admin

“The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation.”

This madness, this cruelty, must be stopped. So many ruined lives.

ICE detains the wife of a US Marine veteran

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans. Paola Clouatre is the mother of a breastfeeding infant and one of tens of thousands of people detained and facing deportation as the Trump administration pushes for immigration officers to arrest 3,000 people a day. Immigration law experts say directives for strict immigrant enforcement have cast away practices of deference previously afforded to military families. Adrian Clouatre says Paola Clouatre accompanied her mother into the country from Mexico more than a decade ago seeking asylum and had been applying for legal status.

AP News
BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

it's happening! "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is coming out tomorrow!

fellow wonkeratti hvdv sends this report from Oakland:

#ChunderRoad #ice

Non disabled people can’t understand the unrelenting monotony of chronic illness.

The soul crushing defeat that comes from knowing you won’t feel “better” the next day.

The exhaustion that comes from fighting an oppressive system of ableism for the smallest amount of dignity & decency.

It really is a 24/7 (unpaid) job.

@thetnholler.bsky.social

At the end she says they are bounty hunters

Is that what's going on? Are randos kidnapping people and then taking them and turning them into ice?

And do they always turn them in right away, or do they like keep them in their own basement for a week or something?

I sure hope somebody can do some investigative reporting

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

@Mrfunkedude If you cross out the cost and increase it by $5, you have america now.
@Mrfunkedude if anyone was - like me - looking for a source for this:

Worst Way to Fight Diabetes: Buy a Giant Pepsi

A partnership between a KFC franchise and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation shows off the odd world of "cause marketing"

@Mrfunkedude the cure is insulin.
The insulin is dirt cheap to produce.
The insulin costs substantially more than dirt cheap.
Consume the liquid candy and oil meat.
@Crovanian @Mrfunkedude Insulin is not a cure. A cure gets rid of the problem. Insulin merely masks the problem. Its like a painkiller for diabetes
@Crovanian @Mrfunkedude Insulin is not a cure but a treatment.

@Mrfunkedude

Amazing cause and effect, huh?

And now that drink will contain HFCS rather than simple sucrose, so the kids develop liver damage over time as well.

(Fructose is metabolized in the body in a process that creates a toxic intermediate compound that must be detoxified in the liver, so unnatural consumption causes damage to the liver over time.)

@Mrfunkedude What used to be called "juvenile diabetes" is now called Type 1. It's tied to the immune system and can be autoimmune or acquired after infectious disease like covid. It's got nothing to do with sugar, other than people with the condition have to be very careful with their blood sugar.

@callisto @Mrfunkedude

Came here to point out that type 2 is different then type 1 though we DID do clamp studies on 150 or so people and showed that people with type 1 can be quite insulin resistant!

@Mrfunkedude Help a kid with diabetes by giving another Type II.
@Mrfunkedude I could save you a lot of money because i already have the cure and the vaccine for it: stop putting a ton of sugar into everything you eat.

@Mrfunkedude @briankrebs

To be fair that's Juvenile Diabetes Research. People buying a Mega Jug are probably older than that and already ruined.

@Mrfunkedude

ARRGGGhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Mrfunkedude is that roughly how carbon credits work too?
@Mrfunkedude Subtle: the fewer people with Type 1 diabetes, the more flavoured sugar water they can sell to people (until they get Type 2).
@Mrfunkedude @briankrebs of only we could find a simple cure!
@Mrfunkedude Joining up cause and effect in one poster.

@Mrfunkedude

"Fun" Fact:
1.89 litres (half a US liquid gallon) of US Pepsi contain 207 grams of sugar.

This is 8.3 times the amount deemed acceptable by the American Heart Association for a child's maximum daily intake. (It's 5.75 times the recommended amount for an adult man.)

@Mrfunkedude I think I found a cure.
