ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.

This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.

Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300,000,000, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines.

Yet another stark reminder that Net Zero is only for the peasants

Wake the f^ck up folks before it’s too late. AI data centers are expanding across the U.S. at rapid rates and depleting our water sources using billions of gallons of a precious resource. 🤬 Guess what…if you have no water, you have no life. https://t.co/wzWJs35cxF

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held and reportedly tortured in an Israeli prison with no charges, no trial and no Due Process. Netanyahu's government must immediately release him from these lawless, horrific and life-threatening conditions.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

As punishment for my factual journalism, I was subjected to political harassment by the Trump administration upon my return from Iran.

This Israeli-influenced criminal cartel is clearly threatened by my reporting from Tehran, where I showed the massive crowds of mourners and ferocious public backlash to the assassination of [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, exposed US and Israeli war crimes against civilians from the ground, and conducted candid interviews with officials, negotiators and influential Iranians.

The seizure of my devices was a clear act of intimidation aimed at deterring me and others from doing further critical reporting from Iran, which is likely why my interrogators from CPB demanded to know if I would be returning to Tehran to report any time soon.

I really can't fully express the despair that comes with spending years recycling, using public transport, installing energy saving bulbs etc only for some tech cunt to release an app which uses the energy budget of a small country to generate AI cuck porn.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Yes, it is apartheid. This is about the facts on the ground.

Anyone who doesn't understand this reality should go to Palestine in the occupied West Bank & watch the videos we are putting out this week. https://t.co/nj3VKW9fNt

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?

Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.

The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.

“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”

Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…

… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.

“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”

Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.

You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.

The World Health Organization has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, showering, laundry, dishes) in the next FEW YEARS. We are officially entering water bankruptcy. This is a direct result of AI. Please stop using it now.

[Yousuf Nazar @YousufNazar]

Justice (Rtd) Athar Minallah’s lengthy article in Dawn asking why there is no lawyers’ movement today suffers from a glaring omission: he never explains why the 2007–09 movement received wall-to-wall live television coverage in the first place.

Movements do not magically dominate every television screen in Pakistan. Someone opens those doors, and someone decides what gets amplified and what gets ignored.

The mythology surrounding the lawyers’ movement has long outlived the facts. It is routinely presented as a spontaneous democratic uprising that shook an authoritarian regime. The reality was far less romantic. The movement gained traction because it coincided with a split within the establishment itself. As I argued years ago, powerful actors within the system had fallen out with one another, and the movement became a convenient vehicle in that larger struggle. Without that establishment divide, it is doubtful that it would ever have acquired the momentum, protection, and saturation coverage that it enjoyed.

The canonisation of Iftikhar Chaudhry is perhaps the most absurd part of this revisionist history. He was not some lifelong dissident courageously standing up to power. His meteoric rise from a provincial judge to Chief Justice of Pakistan was facilitated by the very power centres that later became his adversaries. He was widely seen as a beneficiary of the system, not its victim. To retrospectively transform him into a democratic icon requires a level of historical amnesia that borders on fiction.

Justice Minallah is also curiously silent about his own role in that period. He served as a minister under General Musharraf’s regime. Yet his article reads as though the events of that era can be discussed without acknowledging the intricate web of establishment patronage, elite rivalries, and institutional manoeuvring that shaped them.

The real question is not why there is no lawyers’ movement today. The real question is why so many continue to cling to a sanitised and self-congratulatory narrative about the last one. Genuine grassroots movements arise from sustained public mobilisation and collective conviction. They do not require establishment blessings, elite sponsorship, or round-the-clock media promotion to survive.

Pakistan’s tragedy is that too many of its political dramas are later repackaged as democratic epics. The lawyers’ movement has become one such sacred cow.

Questioning its origins is treated as heresy, even though the evidence points to a far more complicated and far less noble reality. History deserves honesty, not mythology. Until we abandon these convenient myths, we will continue to misread our past and misunderstand our present.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.

Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.

20% is of course too much. We will be fair

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day.

It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.
