ICE Finally Gives Congress Data on Number of Parents Deported [Colorlines]

“As I wrote then, the federal government deported 46,486 parents of US-citizen children in the 6 month period between January-June 2011,” said Seth Freed Wessler, Colorlines’ investigation reporter who filed the Freedom of Information Act request.

“The figure amounts to more than 22% of all deportations in that same period. The collateral effects of these deportations are mounting, and our investigation found that there are now over 5100 children in foster care whose parents have been detained or deported by federal immigration authorities.”

This is probably what I will remember the Obama administration most for.

Grantland Let Me Talk About '2 Broke Girls'

So, congratulations to Han Lee and 2 Broke Girls for their banner week in racism, taking home the trophy at a canter without even breaking into their impressively deep bench in Oleg and Earl, who missed out mainly by virtue of not having enough screen time. I’m feeling extremely confident they’ll be plenty of material on those two as the season wears on.

The FBI again thwarts its own Terror plot

By Glenn Greenwald

The FBI has received substantial criticism over the past decade — much of it valid — but nobody can deny its record of excellence in thwarting its own Terrorist plots.  

Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out — only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI converted, and save a grateful nation from the plot manufactured by the FBI. 

Last year, the FBI subjected 19-year-old Somali-American Mohamed Osman Mohamud to months of encouragement, support and money and convinced him to detonate a bomb at a crowded Christmas event in Portland, Oregon, only to arrest him at the last moment and then issue a Press Release boasting of its success.  

In late 2009, the FBI persuaded and enabled Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a 19-year old Jordanian citizen, to place a fake bomb at a Dallas skyscraper and separately convinced Farooque Ahmed, a 34-year-old naturalized American citizen born in Pakistan, to bomb the Washington Metro

And now, the FBI has yet again saved us all from its own Terrorist plot by arresting 26-year-old American citizen Rezwan Ferdaus after having spent months providing him with the plans and materials to attack the Pentagon, American troops in Iraq, and possibly the Capitol Building using “remote-controlled” model airplanes carrying explosives.

soft animal: Troy Davis, James Anderson, and the Meaning of "Justice"

wicked-grin:

warning for violence and racist language

loneberry:

James Anderson was murdered in Jackson, MS when two truck loads of white supremacist teens went out late at night to “go fuck with some niggers.” The youth brutally beat Anderson, a black man, while yelling racial…

The death penalty is an attempt at genocide, period.

"Long-running series like Doc Martin, which stars comedian Martin Clunes as a doctor in Cornish fishing village, and Kingdom, where Stephen Fry plays a small-town solicitor in rural Norfolk, are based in the current time yet don’t feature any non-whites among the regular cast and characters and rarely feature minorities in the storylines at all."

— Hey, The Hollywood Reporter? Um, this news is not exclusive to England.

"Truly, this is the Sandra Lee Kwanzaa cake of person-of-color profiles."

— This is a pretty great takedown of the New York Times using conservative rhetoric as if it were facts, and using the term “people” to mean “white people born in the United States.”
