The U.S. government refuses to keep a record of its own enforcers, so we keep one for it. The ICE List has grown to 2,220 agents and officers and 2,258 vehicles and a more accurate death toll of ICE victims.

crustnews.comWe're Building a Database of ICE Identities, Here's Why.Sixteen months on, the ICE List holds 2,220 agents, 1,815 incidents, 2,258 vehicles and the record of 88 deaths the government will not keep. Here is what it is now, and how to add to it.

CONFIRMED: ICE IS IN SALINAS, CALIFORNIA! Attention Monterey County! Stay alert, stay informed, and look out for one another. Please don't spread rumors or panic. Let's keep our community safe.

Is it really the price of gas? Or is it the unjustified wars in Venezuela, Iran and Russia? We know we are paying for wars instead of new sewers, better public schools, upgraded electric grids, infrastructure to prep for global warming…

A former Miss Switzerland beauty pageant contestant has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993, according to her account to Congress. Trump has denied the allegations.

In newspapers around the world, the report that Donald Trump raped Béatrice Keul in an Atlantic City hotel room commands huge headlines. In US corporate media, it isn't reported. Ask yourself why that might be. Here's the front page of today's Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich.

Iowans are paying a heavy price for this war in Iran. We've lost 3 Iowans in the conflict already, and the costs for gas, fertilizer, and diesel are all skyrocketing. As your senator, I will fight to end the forever wars and put Iowa and Iowans first.

A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. It's no surprise why the majority of Americans — including 90% of Democratic voters — support it.

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH! Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B” We knew it was coming! 😡🤬

Ford calculated something like this for its poorly designed Pinto.

"The US military has given Musk’s SpaceX access to restricted space tracking data, raising a new round of questions re: whether the Trump administration is attempting to hand over traffic control in Earth’s orbit to a controversial donor." The access also raises many new national security concerns.

Boys gotta use their toys. The DoD sold their toys to local cops to balance the fed budget passing the cost onto local taxes (and then eliminating the local tax deduction from fed income tax) creating our militarized local police that swats on anonymous tips.

The Pentagon is spreading its incompetence and hatred of minorities to the Department of Homeland Security. It’s lending the Active Denial System, a military-grade heat ray, to the department to develop border-operation tactics. This weapon has been around for years, yet hasn’t been used

1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding Elon Musk for being sympathetic to Russia. They suggest that he crippled Ukraine's Starlink/Starshield connection for fear of Russian retaliation, dislike of the Ukrainians, and a desire to make Ukraine pay more for using it. ⬇️

Lula cumple mañana 81 años. Ha ganado las elecciones contra el ultraderechista Bolsonaro: "Yo le debo esta victoria a la juventud rebelde de izquierdas que se levantó a ejercer la democracia contra el fascismo y que nos protegió en las plataformas digitales contra las injerencias"

Lula defeats Bolansaro!

My political education began in Brazil, where I lived from 1989-91. I learnt that the only defence we have is "conscientizaçao": raising awareness about the relations between exploiters and exploited, and the violence that underpins them. The Brazilians have once again demonstrated its power. ✊❤️‍🔥

NOT A DRILL Trump just ordered the DOJ to challenge the Alaska Senate election results before a single vote is counted. Here’s the shady as hell part. Only if the Dem wins. Mary Peltola is challenging Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan & Alaska could determine which party controls the Senate.
