This is a good reminder that some "voluntary" departures people sign while detained by ICE are the product of coercion. The worst incidents I've heard of over the years involve agents grabbing a person's hands and forcing them to sign a piece of paper they can't read; it's a "voluntary" removal.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · last wk.

ICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.

NEW: A glimpse at how AI image generators are used. Researchers set up a fake image editor on Hugging Face and within a week received 1,000 prompts. 73% of them were sexual and 83% of those were asking for people (women) to be “undressed”. Around 6% of the sexual requests also targeted minors

ANYWAY. The QAnon/MAHA clinic is returning to the Convention Center and they were struggling to come up with the funds apparently (their words) so the folks at the Convention Center decided to give them the space + advertising for basically free.

A Miracle in Less Than 24 Hours Dear Liberty & Health Family, I have to be honest with you. Yesterday I was discouraged. With only 62 people registered for the Faith, Freedom & Liberty 250 Conference and MegaClinic, and so much still to raise, I left my orthopedic surgeon's office after a hard appointment and truly did not know what to do next. Instead of driving home, I felt impressed to turn onto Jefferson Street and drive downtown to look at billboard locations near the Phoenix Convention Center. We were nearly out of time, and we did not have the money. Every quote we had received ran between $1,800 and $2,500 a week, and some as high as $5,000. It simply was not possible. Still, I drove the area and began calling the companies that managed each billboard. Every person gave me the same answer. $1,800. $2,000. $2,500. $5,000. Then I spotted one more in an excellent location. We did not even have artwork ready, but I felt impressed to pursue it anyway. Instead of quoting me more than $2,000 a week, she said they could provide the billboard for only $200. Then I called the Phoenix Convention Center, where the event will be held. The gentleman I spoke with grew so excited about what Liberty & Health Alliance is doing, providing free medical, dental, vision, and spiritual care for those in need, that he offered us the use of all of their digital marquees and billboards, completely free of charge.I knew God was with us. But one problem remained. We still had no graphics. We needed five different billboard designs in multiple sizes, all completed before a 3:00 p.m. Friday deadline. Humanly speaking, it did not seem possible. So we prayed. Our graphics team worked incredibly hard and sacrificed their own schedules to make it happen. Every one of the five designs was finished before the deadline, submitted on time, and the billboard company began putting them up right away. All of this happened in less than 24 hours. God opened every door, one after another. To God alone be all the glory. IN UNDER 24 HOURS • A prime billboard offered for $200 instead of more than $2,000 a week. • The Convention Center's digital marquees and billboards, free of charge. Five billboard designs completed and submitted before the 3:00 p.m. deadline. I hope this story encourages your faith the way it renewed mine. There is a place for you in what God is doing in Phoenix. You can register for the conference, sign up to serve, or give toward free care for thousands of people in our community. By God's grace, and through the generosity of people like you, we have now raised $17,085 toward securing the venue. Every gift moves us closer, and every gift matters.

🧵 A few years ago, some QAnon and MAHA anti-vaxxer propagandists were given a 2-day hearing at the Arizona legislature and then held a post-hearing health clinic at the Phoenix Convention Center. The hearing was literally promoted with a popular QAnon slogan. From @jerodmacevoy.com back in the day:

My latest is about the stunning evidentiary weakness of the White House’s anti-woke report on the National Museum of American History. If it had blue sealant it would peel. The shoddy workmanship in Trump’s 250 commemorations never stops! newrepublic.com/article/2128...

The document is notably short on evidence—and at odds with what I witnessed during a visit to the museum this week.
