Once was “taking the gloves off” the “velvet glove covering then iron fist”
2026 its gloves on that shock & don’t leave bruises ?… police still can harm people but avoid being sued for it. “It’s a great tool as far as mitigating liability,” according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Sheriff Bob Couey: “I recommend these gloves to anybody that’s looking for a utility that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits.” -
Vanessa Cárdenas: "The Trump Miller deportation machine is cruel, costly, chaotic, and now deadly on a growing scale. They are killing our fathers, our neighbors, our coworkers, with no regard for human life. As long as there is a quota of arrests to meet, #ICE agents will continue to hunt immigrants indiscriminately, and with the Supreme Court’s blessing, they are free to racially profile. Congress needs to hold this administration accountable.”

A quotation from Frederick Douglass
What, am I to argue that it is wrong to make men brutes, to rob them of their liberty, to work them without wages, to keep them ignorant of their relations to their fellow men, to beat them with sticks, to flay their flesh with the lash, to load their limbs with irons, to hunt them with dogs, to sell them at auction, to sunder their families, to knock out their teeth, to burn their flesh, to starve them into obedience and submission to their masters? Must I argue that a system thus marked with blood, and stained with pollution, is wrong? No! I will not. I have better employment for my time and strength, than such arguments would imply.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8…

"Rep. Ro Khanna said Saturday that he was detained by settlers and the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank and released only after calls to the American Embassy in Jerusalem":
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/11/khanna-says-he-was-detained-by-the-israeli-military-and-settlers-in-the-west-bank-00993919
The often dishonest Israeli government denied it. I believe the Congressman.

An excellent example of how ignorant #authoritarians can destroy organizational culture and competence that took years to develop, and will take even longer to rebuild. And all to no good purpose, other than catering to #bigotry & #brutality. Brought to you by the cowards and sycophants that comprise today's #GOP

Mustafa Yazici: "I want Mayim Bialik to sit in room across from children who were amputated by Israel and their mothers, look them in the eyes and tell them her story about how she was scared seeing man approaching her wearing anti Israel shirt."

A good article from Ben Rieff (deputy editor of +972 - a publication worth a look at)
‘Except, he very much is[the face of Israel - my addition]. In fact, there is no one who more plainly epitomises today’s Israel than Itamar Ben-Gvir – and it is high time the international community woke up to that reality.’

RE: https://newsie.social/@ProPublica/116578596037556457
This is beyond appalling.
The ability of #DHS to establish the intersection of #racism, #brutality and malicious #incompetence in #ICE is something I would never see.
I congratulate the #GOP Senators for their ability to gut our Constitutional rights with their cowardly acquiescence to 47's desires.

"The Trump administration recalibrating its hard-line approach to immigration enforcement in the wake of widespread political blowback and declining support for ICE — as well as Pres. Donald Trump’s handling of immigration. The Trump administration is abandoning the accelerated training program it used to quickly deploy the thousands of new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents":

"Former ICE official Madison Sheahan lost a GOP primary in a battleground Ohio House district on Tuesday":
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/05/madison-sheahan-loses-ohio-primary-00907626
The bad news is that after this extremist lost, a Democrat will have a harder time winning. The good news is that someone as terrible as former ICE official Madison Sheahan will not get elected to Congress.

Official misconduct and abuse by goons towards people detained in the immigration detention system is more likely than ever to go unpunished by the Trump Administration:

"Brno court [...] sentenced a former police officer to three and a half years in prison for a brutal assault on a Vietnamese national which took place in January 2009. The man later died of serious internal injuries" -- "if he had received timely medical attention, he could have survived despite having a ruptured spleen and severe internal bleeding" -- "what the police thought was heroin were actually packages of starch" -- "yelling that he hated the Vietnamese" -- "abuse of power" -- "died the next day of serious injuries" -- "“[...]did not provide any medical attention"" -- "Two other policemen, who were standing by but did not interfere, landed conditional sentences.

I feel

towards the Czech regime.
I better not buy starch now! Are there any other foodstuffs that I should avoid buying if I don't want to be IMO killed by brutal assault by the brutal Czech regime? Flour? Sugar? Baking soda? Salt? Now a citizen is afraid to buy basic foodstuffs! I believe that is called terrorism!

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.
