@TexasObserver The CEO of #UnitedHealthcare that was shot by #Luigi Mangione will be remembered as Brian Thompson.
But the first #ICE member to die during an illegal #rendition will simply be remembered as an #American #Gestapo.

It is not for nothing that among the accusations listed in the Declaration of Independence is the charge that the king is guilty of “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences”

![This image is a black and white photograph depicting an adult woman. She appears to be of Jewish-American descent, as indicated by the caption referring to her in that context.
The subject has medium-length hair parted on one side and styled loosely around her face. Her expression seems contemplative or thoughtful, with a slight smile. The eyes are slightly narrowed, indicating deep thoughtfulness or perhaps she is closing them for an internal moment of reflection.
She's wearing what looks like a short-sleeved blouse featuring large circular motifs that could be interpreted as leaves; they're repeated in various sizes across the fabric and create a somewhat abstract pattern against her dark-colored shirt. The garment has buttons down the front, visible at least through partway up on each sleeve where it is cut.
The background of this photo is nondescript but appears to be outdoors due to hints of lightness or brightness behind her shoulders which could suggest an overcast sky or a neutral outdoor backdrop.
This photograph seems like historical documentation possibly from around the early 20th century given its composition style and lack of color, suggesting it might have been taken during a time when photography was not yet fully integrated into everyday life. The woman's attire is modest but also shows some fashion trends indicative of that era. It may carry social or cultural context which could be valuable for his [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/344/531/741/448/314/original/6db8cd59f29af61b.jpeg "This image is a black and white photograph depicting an adult woman.

![The image is a black and white photograph featuring an elderly man standing in the middle of a field. He's wearing practical, work-appropriate clothing that includes a short-sleeved button-up shirt with pockets on both sleeves, which are rolled up to his elbows, as well as khaki pants secured by a belt at his waistline. His stance is relaxed yet upright, and he appears confident in the setting around him.
His expression is pleasant; he's smiling directly towards the camera, showcasing white teeth that suggest good dental health or possibly use of an aesthetic aid like dentures. The man has on what seems to be a cap with a brim, which could provide shade from the sun—a common accessory for outdoor laborers. His gaze and posture convey contentment.
The field he's standing in is filled with tall crops that reach nearly as high as his chest. These plants are likely grain or another type of crop commonly cultivated on farms. The sky above him appears to be mostly clear, although there seems to be a hint of cloud cover towards the horizon where trees can faintly be seen.
The photograph has an overall timeless quality due to its monochromatic scheme and composition that emphasizes simplicity and straightforwardness—a common approach in documentary photography which aims to capture real-life moments without embellishment. The absence of color focuses attention on form, texture, contrast, and subject matter rather than the pla [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/343/014/195/084/345/original/dfa74a3d26ff57aa.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph featuring an elderly man standing in the middle of a field.

LB: it seems the way small #mice can finish off a rich American couple is both a warning of the power of #nature and the decline of #American #society (even with all their money they had become so isolated that even none of their #maintenance staff or other workers noticed the #mouse infestation or considered the health hazard it would cause)

In a normal country, the #American people would be in the streets defending their constitutional right to #DueProcess, enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
We aren’t that country, anymore.
PBS News · WATCH: El Salvador's Bukele says he will not release man mistakenly deported, issue 'preposterous'Trump administration officials emphasized Abrego Garcia, who was sent to a notorious gang prison in El Salvador, was a citizen of that country and the U.S. has no say in his future.

These douchebags gave up.
Fucking quitters.
Grifters with a fixed mindset.
They are not heroes.
They are careless people who are losers.
Imagine making the OG oligarchs of the #GildedAge look good!
"Dang Me" is a song by #American #countryMusic artist #RogerMiller, and 1964's #GrammyAward winner for Best Country & Western Song. It was Miller's first chart-topping country hit and first Top Ten #popMusic hit, whose "jazzy instrumental section" helped make it "the quintessential example of Miller's lighthearted humor, which brought him many more hits." In 1998, Roger Miller's 1964 version of "#DangMe" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals, presumably from an earlier era given the style of their clothing. The person on the left appears to be female; she wears glasses, has dark hair pulled back under a broad-brimmed hat, and sports a textured coat that suggests practicality over fashion during challenging times or seasons.
The individual on the right seems male, with short-cropped hair receding from his forehead indicating age. He is dressed in what looks like work clothes - possibly for laborious tasks given their rugged appearance – including a dark jacket and shirt.
Both individuals are seated closely together against an indistinct background that provides no contextual clues beyond perhaps being inside a building or near one, suggested by the presence of what appears to be a door on the right.
The overall tone is somber; the expressions, though not fully discernible due to resolution constraints, do not suggest happiness. The image captures a moment in time with each subject seemingly absorbed in their own thoughts, conveying an air of solemnity and perhaps economic hardship given historical context often associated such images from early 20th century America.
The photograph is labeled "3-S-4PPI", which could be related to its cataloging or archiving within the collection where it resides.
