Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian soldiers remain unaccounted for according to Ukrainian and UN figures.

Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash.

Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours.

She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused.

At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges.

Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

Heard someone had issues with the UN escalator — no problem for Governor Newsom!

Trump UN speech was brutal. Crude. Send them to Hell? Who talks like that? He believes he is without the legal and political constraints of our democracy. A dangerous man. History will excoriate those who allowed this to happen.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Watch all the major Democrat accounts will start to be heavily suppressed and throttled on this platform between now and election day.

It has already begun.

Just like nobody is reporting Don Jr’s wife WORKED for oligarch until a few months ago somebody needs to look into where the hell Natalie came from and who her handler is

“YOU FUCKING MOVE, I’LL FUCKING TASE YOU.”
“GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT NOW.”

An ICE agent points a Taser at someone inside a car, threatens them for moving, then demands an action that requires movement.

How the fuck are you supposed to comply?

This is how an unlawful traffic stop by ICE can escalate into an innocent citizen being murdered: by manufacturing “noncompliance.” Move and risk being accused of threatening the agent. Freeze and risk being accused of refusing orders.

Intimidation and contradictory orders create a pretext for force and leave the person on the receiving end blamed for what happens next: THEY DIDN’T COMPLY!!!

https://t.co/du9bv2TwAq helps you understand your rights and prepare for encounters with ICE. A badge does not make an agent’s version of events the truth. Record safely. Preserve the evidence. Demand accountability.

We roll out the red carpet for Putin and Xi while we shit on our closest allies daily. The American government under Trump and his cultist Republican Party is a disgrace.

Trump allies are pushing him to declare "martial law" this November to seize the midterms, with some aides trying to stop it but admitting they may fail.

The Natalie Harp story started off as a joke, a sign of how pathetic Trump has become.

But the latest revelations show that she's really quite dangerous.

She knows how to manipulate the doddering narcissist, and it's scary.

Give them a chance, Brendan. Their programming lineup isn't fully set yet. Be patient: the diaper-change segments hosted by Natalie Harp are gonna be lit.

Top Trump allies are reportedly pushing Trump to declare martial law for the midterms to exert control over the elections.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Kelly's hearing on President Trump's media ban. Immediately makes clear he's bound by D.C. Circuit precedent that upholds due process protections for WH reporters who hold hard passes.

"I think it is fair to say that the process ... wasn't followed here."

Wilber remains gravely ill, with the bullet still lodged in his body, and he remains in ICE detention.

According to the detainee who spoke with his wife, Wilber appeared discolored, extremely swollen, and in significant pain.

Our immediate demands are clear: restore Wilber’s communication privileges and take him back to the hospital. He needs access to appropriate medical care.

Thank you to everyone who has continued supporting Wilber and his family.

Such a horrible day in Kyiv. Drugstores. Shopping centers. Data centers. Under attack. Every time, closer to home.
