This is a picture of two women from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, which holds summer programming for 12-18 year olds to develop skills on the way to adulthood. Unlike Secretary Hegseth, they do not deserve contempt or ridicule.
These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
Jesus Christ: UC Berkeley international students will no longer be allowed to complete internships or co-ops for course credit unless they form an “integral part of an established curriculum,” following repeated threats from ICE. This is going to send shockwaves across SF and Silicon Valley

We've spent 8 trillion dollars on the US military over the last decade and we have almost nothing to show for it other than a munitions shortage and a bunch of defense contractor boondoggles. This is the world Eisenhower warned about.
Max Boot@maxboot.bsky.social · 2w agoDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth has no one but himself to blame for Congress's reluctance to approve a $1.5 trillion defense budget. He has been contemptuous of Congress, so it’s hardly surprising that its members are not rushing to hand him a massive pot of cash. wapo.st/466UOli

This is why people don’t report domestic abuse. The cops love to say “This is a family fight” and “there are 2 sides to every story” until the abused party winds up dead.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoNN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
