Today, New York’s governer, attorney general, police commissioner, and senior senator marched alongside an ICC-wanted war criminal in a parade celebrating an apartheid ethnostate that stands accused (by every major human rights org in the world) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents drove a New York activist around for 20 minutes… then dropped him in a random dark alley at midnight.
And his case seems to fit a disturbing pattern…
Jonni Qwest, a New York activist detained by ICE at Delaney Hall, over Memorial Day weekend, says he was held for about four and a half hours, with no processing, no fingerprints, and no paperwork.
Then, around midnight, he says agents told him get up, claimed he was being charged for assaulting an officer, put him in a vehicle, with two other detainees, drove them around for roughly 20 minutes… and dropped them in a dark alley.
He also said they presumed his phone was dead, so there would be no evidence.
But this isn’t the only case like this to happen… and the pattern is getting hard to ignore.
One widely reported case involved Daphy Michel, a Haitian asylum seeker under Temporary Protected Status. After her criminal charges were dismissed, ICE took her into custody, processed her, and enrolled her in electronic monitoring.
And instead of returning her to her home, in Washington County… she was released alone, in Pittsburgh, at a bus stop, in an unfamiliar area, and without coordination with her family.
Days later, she was found unresponsive, and later died.
Another widely reported case involved Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind Rohingya refugee, who was released at night and dropped off in freezing conditions in Buffalo… miles from his destination.
He was later found dead after wandering alone in extreme weather conditions.
These are just a few examples of different cases, different cities, but it’s the same pattern…
Night releases, unfamiliar drop-off spots, vulnerable people left without support… and it starts to look like there are no real safeguards in place during an ICE release, and no accountability.
And with no accountability, ICE agents will continue to put people’s lives at risk, including U.S. citizens.
Did you know Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir quietly bought water rights in Snowmass, Colorado in December during a $120M property deal?
Rich, corrupt people controlling the Colorado water supply during a drought? What could go wrong. 😒
I smell a data center on the horizon.
This is extremely shameful.
🇦🇺Australian filmmaker Juliet said:
"I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.
They also used water torture and beatings."
The matter is even more shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this 😭
The ancient Lebanese city of Tyre is home to 2000 years of Christian heritage
Today, the city is being relentlessly bombed by Israel with the full support of the “Christians” in the Oval Office

🚨 BREAKING: Analyst Matt Stoller drops a massive reality check. He confirms the US utility grid is run by greedy financial engineers who intentionally waste billions.
He warns this massive corruption will soon cause regular blackouts across America. Americans are collapsing!
There is no world in which this is okay.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

When North Carolina families struggle to pay their electric bill, nobody gives them a tax break or a stock buy back.
But when Duke Energy makes nearly $24 billion in profit while paying their executives hundreds of millions, they get a 10.5% tax RETURN.

Israel having killed every child, every sheep, every dog and cat. Having destroyed every tree, every road, every building in southern Gaza
Is now bulldozing the remnants.
Every gravestone, every sign that anyone ever lived here.
It's a holocaust
Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
“Law and order” comes with an exception clause for MAGA politicians.
Trump just posted a letter from five Republican members of Congress asking him to pardon former Congressman Steve Buyer.
Buyer was convicted of insider trading by a jury and sentenced to prison. The letter doesn’t dispute that. So for regular people, it’s a felony. For Republican politicians, it’s a character reference.
"Lord, please forgive us for all the things we did that did not support Israel!"
The Israeli govt brought Christians from around the world to the Knesset to cry out and beg God to forgive their nations for not supporting Israel enough.
Truly insane.
.@jamestalarico: I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.
Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians
Over the weekend the former head of Trump's Border Patrol attended a summit with fascists from around the world who are calling for "Weimar solutions" and it for some reason has received almost no press coverage.

@JimmyJ4thewin The fact that you can be stripped of your diploma for criticizing a foreign nation, yet @KenPaxtonTX a pedophile enabler can run for Senate without repercussions, is a stark illustration of a broken system.
Honestly, Mamdani and his PR team are incredibly savvy. They're doing exactly what they promised: rebuilding the people’s trust in government, but through perception first.
Take the Israeli parade. First, he announces he'll be skipping it. That dominates headlines and reinforces the image of a mayor willing to take a bold stand, even at political risk. People who were skeptical start questioning their skepticism because the move feels authentic and principled.
Then, after that positive perception takes hold, you get something like the video below. He still announces that he won't attend the parade himself, so he keeps the positive publicity. But at the same time, he says he'll send a member of his administration instead: Jessica Tisch, whom he chose to retain despite her family's well-known ties to Netanyahu.
Most people won't notice the distinction. A small number like myself will criticize it, but by then the mass deception has already been established. The public focus shifts from scrutinizing the contradiction to defending the image of a "principled mayor." The net result is growing support, deeper belief in the system, and no political cost for it.
This is the same pattern I saw with his pro-Palestinian messaging. "Free Palestine" goes viral, his supporters rally behind him, and his popularity grows. Then later, he starts saying in interviews that “Israel has a right to exist.”
When I called it out and challenged him directly, the base had already been manipulated into a loyal following built around a radical image of him. Only months later did my criticism start to go mainstream, but by then the cycle had already reset and repeated itself.
That's what makes the strategy so effective. The headline-grabbing position comes first. The nuance comes later. By the time people notice the difference, the public perception has already been set and he’s onto the next thing.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is wanted by the International Criminal Court for the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Yet here he is marching in New York City today with Chuck Schumer and other Democrats.
There is no bottom to the abyss that is Zionism.
