Several times, people have called in missing persons reports after family or friends disappear, leaving abandoned cars or children and pets waiting. It only became clear what happened when they popped up in ICE’s locator. Now, they’ll simply disappear, potentially to never be heard from again

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

Fascism in Britain has not come from nothing. It is the result of decades of Thatcherism and then Austerity.

I want a news pundit to explore the question of how we went from ‘Need a safe space snowflake?’ to gearing all of our governmental machinery to establishing Lebensraum. Then I want them to go a step deeper and figure out & put words to under what type of logic that’s actually a consistent position.

Yeah the endgame here is very obviously the destruction of girls’ sports by making them sites of mandatory sexual abuse and it is really blackpilling how many people are going along with it out of fear of trans people or their hope for little Christleigh getting a track scholarship to Azusa state

Genital exams??? I would have never played a single sport. This isn’t reasonable stuff and thats great for them! Making sports suck for girls helps them in their other goals of getting women out of public life and reestablishing their preferred men on top.

Also, did you know that the leading cause of death for pregnant people is not a medical diagnosis? It’s homicide. Most often at the hands of a current/former partner and with a gun (link below). If this government truly cared about maternal health we would regulate guns, not abortion access.

They published this the same day they published the news that Mamdani's office is releasing to the public thousands of documents showing Giuliani's office knew how toxic the air was around Ground Zero and lied about it, leading to more deaths than on 9/11.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2w ago

In a story that's built on questions of Giuliiani's credibility vs. Mamdani's, the New York Times should have pointed out that Giuliani has been disbarred in both Washington, DC, and New York.
