What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.
I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
Great and informative interview of @andreapitzer.bsky.social by @jamellebouie.net.
The term "concentration camp" has become calcified into a single referent, but as Andrea makes clear, it is more useful to think of it as a process, and its history begins well before Nazi Germany.
Trump's and Hegseth's summary executions continue: US military blew up a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three people. The strike raised the death toll in Trump’s campaign against people accused of drug smuggling at sea to at least 147—each a murder.
Trump:
"The court has given me the unquestioned right to... destroy foreign countries."
The US Supreme Court has done no such thing.

Montgomery County, Maryland busses became free last year. It’s so great.
In an April meeting, “police officials outlined a plan to trade 2.5 million mugshots for two free licenses with the company Biometrica. The company’s technology, called Umbra, would allow police to search a database of mugshot for matches on an uploaded photo.”
Redlining across Los Angeles predicts bird segregation half a century later! Racial segregation is for the birds.
So the Obama administration oral history project went live today. An extraordinary resource for historians and teachers, and a great credit to the team of folks who compiled them all, including Evan McCormick, @pastpunditry.bsky.social and many others.
Wow.

Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
