Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
This will be another of America's greatest shames.
This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

'Four days before Trump’s '25 inauguration, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal with the Trump family to purchase a 49% stake in their cryptocurrency venture for half a billion dollars.... The buyers would pay half up front, steering $187 million to Trump family entities.'
Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place. Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.
NYTimes zero mention of CPB
#ShouldBeFrontPage but isn’t 8/2/25
Billionaires via their Republican minions have terminated the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting).
The last major media system not controlled by media oligarchs or profit-driven model.

NOTE this is "Trump's War on Iran." Not "with" - that implies mutuality. And not simply "war" nor "attack."

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity.
ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

EXCLUSIVE: A GOP congressman from N. Carolina appears to have violated the STOCK Act by failing to properly disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of "Liberation Day"-timed stock purchases from which he profited after quickly selling.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it.
And today showed us that beautifully.
No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.
Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.
That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.
Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!
I don't like it when @profjessblankshain.bsky.social freaks out. Not a good sign for the health of civil-military relations.
just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.
We're not celebrating until it's officially official, but this is GREAT news!! As the (conservative, Trump-appointed) judge writes, "You establish the rules before the game. You don't change them after the game is done."
Justice Allison Riggs won her race for NC Supreme Court, and with this ruling she is one step closer to having her victory certified. And, we will NEVER FORGET Jefferson Griffin's cynical attempt to disenfranchise thousands of voters. Free and FAIR elections Foreverrrrr⚖️
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:
“When a prison camp opens in your town… When a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom… When the president* destroys what’s left of the Constitution… They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” @aoc.bsky.social
Great work by @justcalma.bsky.social here! Of course I love getting cited again but there are lots of great quotes throughout from people who know the space
