ICE took a 31 y/o Haitian asylum-seeker into custody, drove her 30 miles away to a Pittsburgh office, put an ankle monitor on her, then sent her out the front door with no way to get anywhere or contact her family. She froze to death at a bus stop. It's now ruled a homicide.

We've been running an unprecedented natural experiment running for a decade and half. 30 states have raised their minimum wages. 20 have not. What happened to pay? What happened to jobs? The good news is that it's pretty easy to figure out now. Link next post.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

Who had the COVID vaccine and had zero side effects except for a sore arm and feeling little rough for a day

Belfast's protest against racism.

2026 is the first year in 18 years in which there are zero female active duty four-star generals. Pete Hegseth has been intervening in military promotions & fighting the military’s leaders in firing & denying promotions to women. The military promotions board – including its Trump-appointed director – selected 31 officers for promotion as “the best qualified officers within their respective competitive category.” Those 31 included seven women. Nine total promotions were cancelled by Hegseth: all seven women & two black men. Not one white man was removed.

People only hate Elon Musk because he comes from an emerald mining fortune made in apartheid South Africa, he buys ideas and pretends he’s an inventor, he’s a white supremacist, union-busting, abusive employer, he’s hoarding $1T in stolen wages, he makes us ashamed to be human,

The world’s first trillionaire Elon Musk, in an email to Jeffrey Epstein: “Do you have any parties planned? I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose.”

Absolutely bodied

Best decision of the World Cup so far? Having Zlatan Ibrahimovic doing half-time with Thierry Henry, as the two of them seethe at Alexi Lalas. Zlatan is going to throw hands. They couldn't cut to the ad break fast enough. SHOW THE VIOLENCE, COWARDS.

Alexi and Zlatan beefing at halftime of a World Cup game while Alexi says his expectation is for the United States to win the World Cup. I love this sport 😂

You can be repulsed by the general idea that there's a trillionaire while also being repulsed by the specific idea that it's Elon Musk.

#CANBIH World Cup thoughts: Canada looks awful. Non existent midfield, long balls to nowhere, bad passes, every move panicked. Bosnia goal was a basic inswinging corner, while every Canada corner is being played short for some reason. Basic tactical failings, missing a CM engine.

Imagine being a trillionaire and not solving world hunger. Like, what's even the point?

Soccer country. Canada. March to the first ever men’s World Cup match is underway. #CanMNT

Yup

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them. This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.
