An American woman was confronted by sheriff deputies at a checkpoint in Lafayette, Louisiana, who told her her ID and Social Security card were fake. They turned her over to ICE, who shackled her & took her an hour away. Even after a lawyer convinced ICE of the woman's citizenship the sheriff wont admit wrongdoing. Lafayette is the same town who allowed their mayor to govern from REHAB for drug and alcohol addiction back in 2022 and who just pled guilty THIS MONTH for malfeasance in office after being finally arrested despite every exception being levied towards him. But an innocent woman? LINK: thelensnola.org/2026/05/23/u-s…

🚨 Pardoned Jan 6 insurrectionist David Daniel has pled guilty to child s*xual abuse.

@OrevaZSN They believe they are the ones to inherit this world, and to own it. They believe (rightfully) that climate catastrophe is on the way, but instead of working to diminish their footprint, brought on by their capital, they decided it would be better to do away with the rabble.

I really want to know what these billionaires' end game is. They take away jobs, replace everything with AI, inflation goes up, healthcare costs increase, and no one can afford rent or food. How are they going to make money if no one can afford their products?

@ShadowofEzra Even if you show this to average Americans who support privatization, empowering the new aristocracy, & right wing authority but won't benefit from in any way; if they continue to dangle the carrot of ethnic cleansing/expulsion of nonwhites, they'll continue to go for it

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, admits that the trillions of dollars being used to build data centers and power grids will come from ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, and says it is mandatory. He says America needs trillions in AI infrastructure spending, and that people will be forced to “invest” in it. “Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

Its wild that Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) doesn’t get more coverage. He’s admitted to multiple affairs with patients while working as a doctor, encouraged a mistress to get an abortion despite being pro-life, and threatened his first ex-wife with a gun multiple times He’s still been in Congress since 2011

This is pretty insane: the U.S. just tried to literally re-colonize part of the Philippines. They did so under the so-called "Pax Silica" initiative, the brainchild of - surprise, surprise - an ex-Palantir guy named Jacob Helberg who now runs U.S. economic "diplomacy" from the State Department. It's causing a big outcry in the Philippines, which is quite a feat given this is by far the most US-friendly country in Southeast Asia. If you're the US and you're getting the Marcos administration - of all governments - to push back on sovereignty, you've really overplayed your hand. What is the "Pax Silica" initiative? In a nutshell it's about the US getting other countries to commit to restructuring their AI tech infrastructure around a US-led stack. It's basically vendor lock-in: you hand over your critical minerals, align your export controls with Washington's, regulate AI the way America wants, and in return you get to be a US "trusted partner," whatever that means these days. In essence, let's not kid ourselves, it's all about China: this is the US's initiative to "win the AI race" by getting other countries to contractually commit to keeping China out of their tech supply chains. When you can't preserve your lead through innovation, you seek to lock countries in contractually. For instance as a country, this would mean telling Huawei they can't sell you AI chips, and telling Chinese firms they can't invest in your data centers - even if they're better and cheaper. It's not about choosing the best technology, it's about choosing the right flag. But in this instance, the US went much further still: they literally tried to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory (in New Clark City, 60 miles north of Manila) to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity - the first arrangement of its kind anywhere in the modern world. This is according to the WSJ who ran the story last month (wsj.com/world/asia/u-s…) as if it was a done deal (it wasn't). Heard about the "French concession" or "British concession" in China during the century of humiliation? Same thing: the US basically asked for an "American concession" in the Philippines. Unsurprisingly, there was quite a bit of backlash in the country with for instance the Peasant Movement of the Philippines (KMP) calling it a “massive sellout” of the country’s land, minerals, and sovereignty (punto.com.ph/us-led-pax-sil…). So much so that the Philippines' government - namely Joshua Bingcang, president and chief executive of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) - issued a statement saying that the Philippines had rejected US proposals that would place the project beyond local jurisdiction (asianews.network/philippines-re…). Note, by the way, this delicious irony: the BCDA is the government agency that was created in 1992 specifically to convert former US military bases at Clark and Subic Bay after the Philippines spent decades negotiating their closure. New Clark City - where the Pax Silica's hub would go - is built on the old Clark Air Base. So the agency whose entire reason for existing is to turn former American colonial territory (i.e. US military bases) into sovereign Philippine land is the one now being asked to hand part of that very same land back under US jurisdiction (and, apparently, declined). Of course though, blocking this specific jurisdiction grab doesn't change the bigger picture. The Philippines is still a Pax Silica signatory, and Pax Silica itself is structurally neocolonial: you supply the cheap labor and raw materials, align your export controls and regulations with Washington's, cut yourself off from the world's rising technological powerhouse - and in exchange you get assembly jobs and the privilege of getting a pat on the head and being called a "trusted partner." They dropped the most cartoonishly colonial demand - governing Philippine soil under US law - but the underlying architecture is the same: you serve America's supply chain, on America's terms, and you relinquish your sovereign right to trade with whoever offers the best deal.

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He gets out in June. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person. Every MAGA accusation is a confession. Full story: letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ken-paxtons-…

Yea.... you learn alot.

4 black kids were abducted by 16 Ecuadorian militaries and they burned their bodies. Ecuadors president did everything in his power to imply they weren’t innocent so they deserved it until Courts proven him wrong. The youngest was 11 & oldest 15.

Victory to the Bolivian People.

One of the most brilliantly written pieces of writing in any English publication.

Ohio police stop & harass Black teenagers—for "giving criminal indications." "It’s not my fault you guys live in this F'ing high crime neighborhood!" cops yell. "Enjoy your poverty!" 15-year-old Emma & friends were just walking home after buying snacks. Cops call them "dumb," "stupid," and "F'ing annoying"—after pulling up in unmarked cars and stopping them. Incident occurred near the Red & White Shopping Market on the north side of Toledo, Ohio.

Cuba has for decades maintained an infant mortality rate on par or better than most developed nations (better than the US). Since Trump harden the already vicious blockade in 2017 infant mortality in Cuba has risen by 158%. That's 1,800 babies that have died for Miami.

@LeoTerrellDOJ Shut up and take their money, you zionist useful tool

If true, this is outrageous. Termination is not good enough! This hotel needs to be investigated. I’m not satisfied with a single termination.

Original photo, without the blurred faces.

@ykslyy Those in the comments here celebrating it, or simply expressing their flippant lack of concern as a point of pride, how little they care, are those who deserve to be met with what has been perpetrated against the innocents of the world, those who suffer for fleeting comforts

I don’t think people understand the gravity of what we are looking at in this photo. This should infuriate every single one of us.

Unfriendly reminder that no profession rapes more children (in the US) than the police.
