BREAKING🚨 A Somali man was chained, beaten, and denied food and water on an ICE deportation flight — and by the time it landed, his relatives say his body was covered in bruises.

His relatives told The Charlotte Observer he was shackled at the wrists and ankles for the duration of the flight, unable to move, unable to eat, unable to drink. They say guards ignored his pleas. They say the restraints were never loosened once.

His family described what they were told in three words: chained, beaten, deprived.

They say he was one of many packed onto the aircraft, deported from the United States to a country many of these men had not lived in for years. Some, his relatives say, had spent much of their lives in America — built families here, worked here, raised children here — before being pulled onto a plane in restraints.

What his family keeps returning to is the physical condition he arrived in. Not a bureaucratic complaint. Bruises. Dehydration. A body that showed what happened on the flight.

Deportation flights operate largely out of public view. There are no reporters on board. No cameras. The only accounts that reach the outside world come from the people who survive the flight and the families waiting on the other end, comparing what they were promised with what they actually received.

His relatives say they raised the alarm because they were afraid no one else would. They say they were told he would be transported safely and humanely. They say the man who stepped off that plane told a different story with his own body.

ICE flights like this have faced complaints before of prolonged shackling, of men left in restraints for hours, of food and water withheld. Each time, the answer from the outside is the same silence, because the flights are sealed and the passengers have no way to record what happens to them.

His family is now asking a simple question: who is accountable for the condition he was in when the doors opened?

“Beyond dystopian.”

Novelist Dave Eggers is sounding the alarm about AI, which he argues is harming children’s education:

“You have a ten-year-old who is unprecedented in the history of the world. There's never been anyone like that person… To think about that one-of-a-kind-in-the-history-of-humanity person shopping their vision out to a machine, how tragic that is. That's beyond dystopian. It cannot be allowed. Not even one ounce of AI can be allowed in the humanities and youth education.”

After slavery ended, Brazil launched a campaign called blanqueamiento, meaning to "whiten" the country. Between 1880 and 1930, over 4 million Europeans were brought in and interracial marriage was encouraged to reduce Black and Indigenous ancestry over time.

After slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, the country’s leaders feared the newly freed Black majority and sought to reshape the nation’s population. They promoted “blanqueamiento” (whitening), a state policy rooted in racist ideology that aimed to reduce the presence of Black and Indigenous people through immigration and mixing with Europeans.

Between 1880 and 1930, Brazil encouraged the arrival of more than 4 million European immigrants, mainly Italians, Portuguese, Germans, and Spaniards, to work on plantations and in cities.

The government believed that interracial marriage would gradually “dilute” African and Indigenous ancestry, producing a whiter population over generations. This policy was even supported by intellectuals of the time, who framed it as a path to “progress” and “modernization.”

📷 : a 1895 painting "Ham's Redemption" (A Redenção de Cam) by Spanish-Brazilian artist Modesto Brocos. 

The painting illustrates 19th Century theory of "whitening" (branqueamento) through miscegenation, which was a controversial racial ideology prevalent in Brazil. It depicts a Black grandmother, her mixed-race (mulatta) daughter, the daughter's white Portuguese husband, and their white child. The grandmother, with hands raised, is seen as thanking God for her white grandson, symbolizing the perceived "redemption" of her lineage from the "curse of Ham". The work won the Gold Medal at the National Fine Arts Exposition in Rio de Janeiro in 1895 and is a classic illustration of the racist vision of the era.

Before you pass away, Remove your kids as direct beneficiaries of your assets. Then place all your assets in a revocable trust and name your kids as the beneficiary of the trust. This allows them to by pass the lengthy probate process and gain immediate access to the assets.

Trump just approved $846 million in disaster aid for nine states, and all nine voted for him in 2024.

Americans in blue states pay the same federal taxes and suffer the same floods, fires, and storms as Americans in red states.

No president in history has treated FEMA as a reward for voting the right way. Every American deserves help when disaster strikes, no matter who their governor is or how their state voted.

This is disgraceful and we will not let it stand.

Apparently a plan was proposed in March by a Trump bootlicker appointee to replace the 200-year-old columns on the White House with more "ornate" columns that match his style.

Scaffolding has gone up. The White House says it's "routine maintenance."
