Hello @ninaturner is this you? Nina goes after Pete and Shontel for being beholden to Corporations. How does Nina stack up? Nina Turner launched Amare Public Affairs 9/2020 before the 2020 election. Mercury announces the launch 9/22/2020 Mercury is a DC based lobby shop. 1/ 
FEC filings show a donation from Amare Director of Public Affairs Marvin Hayes March 31st 2021 to Nina's Congressional Campaign. Marvin Hayes also co-chaired Sanders Campaign. January 19, 2021 Turner accepted $250 from Mercury. 2/
The connection from Amare to Mercury disappeared 4/26/21 shortly after FEC filing was discovered replaced by Highstakes 11 LLC filed in Florida who's only member is Mercury CEO Kieren Mahoney. 3/
ICE relies on private companies to help carry out its thuggery — we need to go after these corporate collaborators
Here's a list of low-lift national targets, mostly public-facing companies with relatively small ICE contracts that are set to expire soon, making them particularly vulnerable to consumer and employee pressure:
Dell ($18.8 million contract with ICE for Microsoft software licenses, expiring March 2026)
UPS ($90,500 small package delivery contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)
FedEx ($1 million delivery services contract with ICE, expiring March 2026)
Motorola Solutions ($15.6 million tactical communication infrastructure contract with ICE, expiring May 2026)
Comcast ($24,600 internet services contract for ICE Seattle office, expiring May 2026 — this could be a great fight for new mayor Katie Wilson to take on).
AT&T ($83 million IT and network contract with ICE, with a potential end date of July 2032).
LexisNexis ($21 million data-brokerage contract with ICE — this company is particularly vulnerable to pressure from university students and professor unions, since much of its revenue comes from colleges.)
Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.

Amazon provides ICE with the digital backbone for its data and surveillance operations through Amazon Web Services. Amazon’s Whole Foods stores are a rich potential target for nonviolent disruption on big days of action.
Palantir provides ICE with core data platforms that integrate and analyze information from many databases so agents can search, link, and manage deportation operations.
It will take longer to force these behemoths—the two worst corporate collaborators with ICE—to cut their ties, but it’s essential to publicize their centrality to Trump’s deportation machine.

Local targets for national campaign against business collaboration with ICE can be found in communities across the country, where hundreds of smaller business have ICE contracts.
Local activists can research and target these businesses—from contractors providing services to ICE offices to suppliers selling equipment—creating distributed pressure campaigns in every region where ICE operates.
Hotels that rent rooms to ICE agents are particularly vulnerable targets, as the Minneapolis Hilton that banned ICE recently demonstrated, and hospitality unions can play a key role in these campaigns.

1) The helplessness of the left: folks, stop cowering or handwringing about what "they" will do. They are out of ideas, out of energy, and out of ammo.
2) They tried and failed to turn the Skinny Minny murderous attack on ICE officers into a sympathetic George Floyd moment.

3) They failed utterly to slow down J.D. Vance's march to the presidency. This was apparently an effort by the DeSorosoids and Nick Knackers. J.D. is on pace to a huge nomination win and a bigger-than-2024 EC/pop vote win in 28.
4) They failed to generate a panican moment over the Supes on tariffs and lied about that ruling coming last week. THEY DON'T KNOW. No one knows for sure when any ruling will be released.

It is good to see strong reactions to the abuse of a Jewish restaurant in London last Friday. Above all, because this matter is now very serious and urgent. The 21st Century brownshirts want more. It's Soho next.
A ringleader says: "In Australia, they smashed the windows... 1/7

...of the restaurant. I'm not recommending that, but I can understand why they did it." Cue drum roll.
Do you "understand" this? Is this the London you want?
Especially when there is previous. The London restaurant was also abused last December. 2/7

🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera.
In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say they’ll “take pictures at HQ”… and then force him into their SUV anyway.
That is deeply alarming.
Law enforcement is not allowed to detain people first and figure out who they are later without lawful justification.
Detaining someone without verifying identity, without probable cause, and without allowing them to present ID raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns.
You cannot seize a person just to “check” who they are.
This also mirrors what DHS has now openly admitted: that people are being detained first and sorted out later based on suspicion alone.
That means innocent people, minors, and U.S. citizens are being taken into custody without verification, without charges, and without due process.
If the government can forcibly detain someone simply to identify them, that is not law enforcement… that is unlawful detention.

This is illegal, and they are just openly tweeting about doing it…
U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. They cannot stop random people and demand proof of citizenship. They cannot take anyone they want and verify who they are later. This is all illegal.

Here's the neuroscience behind it:
When you yell, you trigger the other person's amygdala—their fear center.
Their prefrontal cortex shuts down. Logic disappears.
They literally CAN'T hear your point anymore. You're talking to a reptile brain.

This new study used 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Unlike standard MRI, it doesn’t look at brain structure - it looks at cellular energy metabolism.

phosphocreatine (PCr), a fast energy reserve - basically a buffer/backup battery

🚨🚨YouTube just made a BIG policy change around monetization
Creators can now earn FULL ad revenue on sensitive topics like abortion, self-harm, suicide, and domestic/sexual abuse, as long as the content is dramatized or discussed in a non-graphic way.
Here's what changed and why it matters:
Creators can now earn FULL ad revenue on sensitive topics like abortion, self-harm, suicide, and domestic/sexual abuse, as long as the content is dramatized or discussed in a non-graphic way.
Here's what changed and why it matters:
1/ What's the update?
Content that covers controversial issues (abortion, self-harm, suicide, domestic/sexual abuse) can now be fully monetized if:
- It's dramatized (fictional context)
- Discussed from personal experience in passing
- Presented without graphic/descriptive detail
Before: These topics typically got the yellow dollar icon = limited ads.
Now: Non-graphic treatment = green light for full revenue.

2/ Why the change?
YouTube heard feedback from creators who were losing revenue on:
- Dramatized storytelling
- Personal narratives
- Topical discussions
The old guidelines were too restrictive, demonetizing content that advertisers are actually comfortable with.

1/ Eyewitness accounts from Tehran, Shiraz, Mashhad, and cities along the way. What they describe is not protest but war-like conditions across multiple neighborhoods.
2/ Tehran and Mashhad are described as active battlefields. Firearms, military weapons, and sustained clashes are reported. Shiraz shows similar intensity, with neighborhood-by-neighborhood variations.
3/ Across cities, forces chase people to the doors of their homes. Neighbors open doors to shelter one another, then shut them. This is widespread and intentional civilian protection.
1/🧵 Oct 10, 2025 — Accurate Energetic Systems (AES) factory in TN explodes. 16 dead. Deadliest munitions blast in more than 100yrs. Facility leveled. Blueprints, prototypes, records—gone.
It happened days after the 'exploding mic' theory went viral. And then things got weird.

Heber City = home of Butch Hibbs (bro of pastor Jack Hibbs).
No return flight logged. Who was on that flight, could it have been someone picking up the exploding mic?

I read everything Dexter Filkins writes and so should you. His profile of Marco Rubio is no exception. I'll share a few highlights in this thread:
During the campaign I said J.D. Vance seemed like the sort of populist redneck a gaggle of South African tech bros might cook up in a Silicon Valley laboratory. Almost AI-generated. Anti-charismatic. Awkward in the extreme. And a hard sell absent the Trump juggernaut. Well, lookee here. Vance is not "a guy's guy" like Rubio. Trump thinks he's a bit weird, a bit wussy, and highly unlikeable. He even has buyer's remorse picking Vance as VP. The Maduro op and the past and future military action Iran show Marco's stock is up, J.D.'s is down. Vance gets to own the mess in Minnesota. Rubio gets to be viceroy of Caracas.
Here's a little something special from Sen. Mike Rounds, who not only confirms Rubio's call to his former Senate colleagues at the Halifax Security Forum last November, but emphasizes that the Dmitriev-Witkoff plan was really the Dmitriev plan: "... we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives." Indeed. And it was laundered, Rounds might have added, through a gullible press corp, which relied on Dmitriev, Witkoff and Kushner as sources (this when Witkoff played an active role in deceiving the same press corp about supposed daylight between Trump and Netanyahu on striking Iran) and didn't bother asking why the Secretary of State/NSA or CIA director were written out of a coalescing U.S. deal with Russia. Those sorts of things demand inter-agency buy-in. Instead, amateur diplomats made an end-run around the actual diplomat, and Rubio got his retaliation in by letting a group of bipartisan legislators do it for him. He then initiated a de-Russification process of Dmitriev's 28-point plan in Geneva, and lo and behold it's now a Ukrainian-coauthored 20-point plan, certified by Witkoff and Kushner and Trump in successive rounds in Florida. The Russians will inevitably reject it and more or less have already. This was very well played.
