NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump. It’s oligarchs all the way down. My first for @zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/this-famil...

Radley, if you don’t know, was a canary in the coal mine at WaPo Opinions, writing deeply reported pieces about police violence, which were utterly ignored by Opinions editors, who seemed hellbent on them NOT being seen during the peak of national interest. Then laid off for vague traffic reasons.

Your reminder that we don’t even know who wrote this crap because my former employer no longer says who is on its editorial board. And if you ask its AI helper, it lists seven people, three of whom have left and one of whom is semi-retired and lives in Hong Kong.

For years and years I believed Ted Cruz was evil but brilliant, because I read a quote once from one of his liberal Harvard law professors, who said Cruz was the smartest student he’d ever had. Then one day I looked it up and realized it was Alan Dershowitz.

Everyone knows that there was a “reverse Underground Railroad” too, right? That there were gangs hunting down Black people — some self-emancipated, some born free, didn’t matter — and dragging them to a slave state? That it wasn’t just Solomon Northup, it was tens of thousands of people? Because ⬇️

Some fellow avgeek give me the n-number please!!! I’ve already got Noem’s Coast Guard jets. 🙏

The Cali remake is gonna be called “Less Mizzer Ah Bless.”

Also a recovering alcoholic and got a kinda embarrassing tattoo as a drunk kid and…it’s a gye nyame adinkra symbol on my neck. Not a nazi symbol! Another friend got TRUST NO ONE (iykyk) down her arm and soon after getting sober had it covered with a big peacock (basically why peacock tattoos exist)

Reupping my ask: If you know an Avelo employee who can tell me what happened here and how long flight attendants and ICE detainees were stuck on this plane, please have them contact me on Signal at gbrockell.44. I will protect their identity.

Whereas if Cuomo becomes mayor, every female New Yorker will have to walk around wearing her gynecological records. 🖕 This bigotry is disgusting, and Cuomo doesn’t deserve to represent a city where 36% of its residents were not born in the US.

Long suspected, now confirmed by @404media.co.

Too easy. Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

If you have family/clients in Mesa ICE detention center, you may want to make contact today. Journey Aviation, which flew most of the flights sending third-country nationals to African prisons, landed a jet in Mesa overnight. As @azmirror.com has reported, ICE flights to Africa leave out Mesa.

This is why they have nurses onboard ICE flights, to keep medically distressed migrants alive just long enough to pass them off to another country.
