"Real American citizens would never encounter such an un-American experience, and rest assured if you do get taken, maimed or killed by ICE, or ICE-like forces, you weren't really an American to start with, were you?"

Ice Didn’t Do What They Did and Do
A statement from the US Department of Homeland Security: "Guys, guys, except for all the times we have targeted, arrested, unlawfully detained, been violent with, and hurt American Citizens, ICE doesn't do those things to American citizens. We should be grateful that ICE is doing the vital work of culling

People keep trying to point to an event where the "right/left" political violence thing got out of hand. You cannot point to anywhere in US history where the right hasn't been murdering leftists. It has never happened.
They've been talking about civil war since they lost the last one, and most of US politics before that was just trying to prevent the first one.
There isn't a wave of right/left violence. Right wing violence has just gone unchecked for so long, and been so accepted, that now they're killing each other regularly. The Trump assassination attempts were all from the right. #CharlieKirk was killed by another fascist for not being fascist enough.
Fascists have so completely taken over that they see each other as legitimate targets because they've run out of "leftists" worth murdering. That's the story. That's what people can't wrap their heads around.
Everyone is worried about the right wing response, worries about right wing escalation, but they called for civil war over the cracker barrel logo. They're already maxing out their base. All the proud boys and other Nazis are already hired by ICE. They're also already going as hard as they can. They don't need any excuses. They have total control of everything. This bumbling mess is *the best they can do.* They call for civil war every few days.
We're not seeing a war between the left and the right. We're seeing a war between the right and the far right, where both side opportunistically punch left when they can and liberals help them justify their actions.

Trump administration repealing rules to protect parts of Alaska petroleum reserve
The Trump administration says it is rescinding federal rules that were aimed at protecting vast swaths of a petroleum reserve in Alaska that provide key habitat for migrating birds, caribou and other wildlife.

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was […]

@… yup. It is ugly where we are, and odd how clearly we have seen what where we are has looked like in other real and imagine contexts.
And yet for many, today is somehow, astoundingly, just another Friday.
There is still not full consensus on that what is happening is in fact happening.

How Ukraine's autumn weather is helping Russia's Shahed-type drones evade air defenses: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/13/how-ukraines-autumn-weather-is.html

Russian generals say all goals of the war will be achieved.
Russian economists say despite the pressure the economy will outlast Ukraine’s.
Even Russian fan-boy Donald Trump says that Russia is much stronger and Kyiv has no cards left to play in the war.

Hearing only reassurance,
it is little wonder that President Vladimir Putin sees no reason for real concessions on Ukraine.
From the vantage point of the Kremlin, the war is going according to plan.

With an army of yes-men, how Putin’s world turned into an echo chamber
The Russian president has little incentive to compromise in the ongoing peace talks because everyone around him keeps reassuring him that Russia is winning.
