Over two days in October 2025, up to 10,000 people are believed to have been massacred;
a further 40,000 civilians from the Sudanese city are still unaccounted for.
Heroism, horror and the ‘pits of hell’: inside the last days of El Fasher

⛔️Are fuel-related flight cancellations happening at the last minute?
In most cases, no.
At least for now, fuel-related cuts are often being made days or weeks in advance.
Lufthansa Group, for example, said this week it is cutting 20,000 short-haul flights across its network through October.
That gives you more time to adjust plans than you’d typically get with weather-related disruptions, which tend to trigger last-minute cancellations.

His head and chest and what shows of his legs are dark brown, his side and back are a lighter brown, maybe a dark tan. I count 6, maybe 7 points on his antlers, which means he’s quite old, for an elk.

Oh ffs, people, it’s not hard.
The Israeli government is an apartheid regime perpetrating a genocide on the Palestinian people and waging illegal wars against Lebanon and Iran.
No jew can be held responsible for the actions of that government just because they’re a jew. No human being is worth less than any other because of their religious beliefs (no matter how hard the religious extremists of all faiths try to convince us this is so).

That's a beautiful aircraft.
Here's a picture from its first flight October 28, 2025, which was subsonic.
The idea is supersonic flight with no sonic booms.

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft lifts off for its first flight Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, from U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California. The aircraft’s first flight marks the start of flight testing for NASA’s Quesst mission, the result of years of design, integration, and ground testing and begins a new chapter in NASA’s aeronautics research legacy.

In October, ice agents “smashed the car windows and detained all seven occupants” of a van that they thought suspicious because people in it were going to work together. Carpooling. Carpooling is foreign and unintelligible to the brilliant and diligent ice agent who testified as JB. The concept of carpooling is beyond JB’s comprehension. 🤦‍♂️
The intellect on JB could be studied (but might make anyone studying it dumber).

JB said the team decided to follow the van once it departed, even though officers didn’t confirm whether the driver of the van was, in fact, the registered owner of the vehicle. JB found it suspicious that the driver was making multiple stops for passengers, saying: “You don’t know if it’s human trafficking or smuggling.” The fact that the occupants were “only speaking Spanish” during the stop seemed to “confirm” there was smuggling or “harboring people that are not supposed to be here in the U…

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

The California Values Act (SB 54) ensures that no state and local resources are used to assist federal immigration enforcement and that our schools, our hospitals, and our courthouses are safe spaces for everyone in our community.
SB 54 was signed into law on October 5, 2017 and went into effect January 1, 2018.
POLICE AND SHERIFFS:
Cannot ask about your immigration status.
Cannot arrest you only for having a deportation order or for most other immigration violations.

An Afghan man who fought with U.S. forces and was legally evacuated to the U.S. after the fall of Kabul
died this week within a day of being arrested by federal immigration officers in Texas, according to his family.
The reported death would be at least the 24th in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this fiscal year, which began in October.
The administration is on track for the deadliest year in ICE detention in more than two decades.

After spending nearly half her life in the United States,
41-year-old Brazilian Amanda Ungaro was deported from the country last October.
She endured three hellish months in a detention center until she was expelled,
like more than 600,000 immigrants since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025 and set out to carry out “the largest deportation in history.”
What is unusual in the case of this former model who worked at the United Nations is that,

It's the deadliest year for those in immigration detention in more than two decades.
More people have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody since October — 23 — than died in the whole prior fiscal year.
The most recent death was of a 56-year-old Haitian man held at an immigration detention center in Arizona. He died in a hospital after going into septic shock.
The increase in deaths comes as nearly 70,000 people are in ICE detention, the highest number in sev…
