Trump has tapped David Venturella, a former ICE official and executive at the prison company GEO Group, to replace Todd Lyons as head of ICE. โItโs really hard to see where the interests of ICE end and those of private prison companies begin,โ says Setareh Ghandehari of Detention Watch Network.

lrt i saw her talk at my sister's graduation once and i think that was one of the first times i started to realize something was really wrong in the world, shes a fantastic journalist
Here is where you can see STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! in theaters now! And more being added daily at https://t.co/P6mDdQjPkh
The gripping portrait of iconic independent journalist Amy Goodman.
what you're looking at is a fuel depot burning in the middle of a megacity of 9 m people & nobody is talking about what this smoke actually contains
when refined petroleum burns at this scale it releases a cocktail of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds, these particles are small enough to bypass bypass your lungs entirely and enter your bloodstream directlyโฆ
we're talking PM2.5 concentrations that can spike to 50 to 100 times safe levels within a 20km radiu
right now in tehran people are breathing this in, eyes burning, throats closing, children coughing, asthmatics flooding emergency rooms & outside acid rain is falling on the water supply, the soil, the cropsโฆeverything that sustains daily life in a city of 9m
but the real damage comes later, years later, elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issue
this is what happened after the Kuwait oil fires in 1991, after the mosul refinery burns in 2016, after every single conflict where fuel infrastructure was deliberately targeted, the medical literature on this is extensive & devastating
deliberately bombing fuel infrastructure insidde a civilian megacity knowing full well what the toxic fallout does to the population over decades is chemical warfare without the label, you achieve the same mass casualty outcome over a longer timeline and somehow it stays legal because the weapon is fire instead of sarin
these people are being sentenced to cancers they will develop in 2035 by bombs dropped in 2026 & they call it liberation
iโd be very careful about agent provocateurs in the crowds esp in minneapolis tn. federal agents are going to try & light shit on fire or break into places. important to maintain discipline. the govt will try and use this dissent to justify further repression.
this is the dude that shot the bystander. he wasnt even remotely harmed. he walked around the scene after killing the 37 yo woman in the honda pilot. will MAGA loyalists unconditionally believe trump's obvious lies over what they can see in the footage? another filter moment.
