    Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters

    A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.

    by Sam Biddle
    August 7 2026, 7:17 a.m. ET

    "To counter the purported national scourge of 'organized retail crime,' a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."

  26. Not a new thing... Unfortunately.

    #Trump pledged to house 6,000 #HomelessVets. His budget funds zero

    NPR | By Quil Lawrence
    Published May 28, 2026

    Excerpt: "Vets' housing construction and delays on the campus go back through four presidential administrations. LA veterans groups won two lawsuits in the past 15 years mandating that the VA immediately build more housing on the campus. The Biden administration appealed a 2024 court ruling and lost. So it shocked veterans groups when the Trump administration appealed that ruling again in February, despite having declared its own intention to build. And when the proposed budget finally came out in April, it included zero dollars to build new housing for any of the 6,000 veterans the president had promised."

  29. #Trump is pushing to institutionalize #homeless people. That may include #veterans

    by Quil Lawrence, June 25, 2026

    Excerpt: "More than 30,000 U.S. military veterans are homeless, according to the latest government data from an annual one-night 'point in time count.' That number is down significantly in the past decade, which most experts credit to a straightforward combination of robust funding and a philosophy focused on offering housing without prerequisites, called housing first.

    "While the Trump administration has promised new housing for vets, President Trump also signed an executive order last year titled 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which leans heavily toward institutionalizing #HomelessPeople against their will. This winter, NPR obtained slides describing a proposed #VeteransAdministration plan called '#SafeHarbor,' which would include veterans in that shift to involuntary treatment. Then, in March, the VA put out a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department about state court guardianship for veterans." [!!!]

  31. I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

    I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

    I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

    I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

    My whistleblower story is here:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

    I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

    I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

    Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

    The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

    When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

    This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

    rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-n

    The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

    The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

    I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

    The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

    It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

    Please boost this message.

    Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

  37. 🌅This morning at Forest Dale Cemetery in Malden, a small group of us came together to place flags on veterans’ graves.

    🇺🇸 Every flag carries a story of courage and sacrifice — from Revolutionary soldiers to today.

    🕊️Freedom has always come at a cost, paid by someone’s son, daughter, parent, or neighbor.

    Let’s continue to honor their legacy.🇺🇸

  39. April 21, 1898 was the start of the Spanish-American War.

    It is the date that defines who and what a veteran in the United States means.

    This is why this is such a significant day in Veterans' advocacy.

    We can stop making veterans, especially with elective wars that accomplish nothing and make things worse.
