Official U.S. military film footage shows ace of spades “death cards” being placed in the mouths of dead Vietnamese people in South Vietnam’s Quảng Ngãi province.

During the Vietnam War, U.S. troops regularly adorned Vietnamese corpses with “death cards” — either an ace of spades or a custom-printed business card claiming credit for their kills. Now, ICE is using them. theintercept.com/2026/02/03/i...

ICE agents leaving behind “death cards” in the cars of people who they’ve detained is cruel for the sake of being cruel. We need an immediate investigation and a total overhaul of this agency.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Sen. Warren is right that her party's too beholden to the donor class: It was a Democratic Congress that rejected Biden’s proposed minimum wage increase from $7.25 to $15. It was a Democratic Congress that killed Biden’s attempt to eliminate the carried interest loophole. trib.al/SDVUfxA
