Contract for ICE tent facility in El Paso under review, DHS says The contract for an ICE tent facility in El Paso, Texas, is under review, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement.

The Trump administration gave $1.2 billion to a company with ZERO experience in detention management, and it unsurprisingly had a disastrous result.

This facility, as well as every private, for-profit detention facility, needs to be closed.

She's flying with her husband (who was also in her hearings). Open or not, that's gotta be an awkward flight to SD. Worse if her pilot was the one she and Landowski tried to can.

Directed by William Klein - The Criterion Channel William Klein’s explosive New York street photography made him one of the most heralded artists of the sixties. As an American expatriate in Paris, Klein also made bold, challenging cinema in a filmma...

I see Criterion is featuring some William Klein films. I put together the first touring program of those film (US, Japan, DE), striking new 35mm prints. I knew his films before I knew (I knew) his photographs. A big, brash man. I'm glad I knew him and I'm always glad when his work is rediscovered.

Trump is starting to talk about the war like he wound up talking about COVID: inevitable and on-going. His voice gets quieter as though implying that it's now out of his hands and the damage is what it is.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Bryan Betancur’s friend and cheerleader in harassment, Andrew Paul Johnson, was sentenced to life in prison this week.

In the Shadow of Fear, a Moment of Peace An unexpected encounter near the federal building DHS has been using near Minneapolis.

An important look at Native commitment and presence in the Minneapolis woods surrounding the Whipple Center. Woods where the detained have been dumped. Woods where Native Americans pray for sanity.

Voice of America brings back Farsi-speaking staff amid Israel-Iran conflict | CNN Business Several dozen sidelined Voice of America staffers have suddenly been called back to work as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates.

Remember when Kari Lake fired the Farsi-speaking staff, had to bring them back for an Israel-Iran conflict, and then disbanded the dept. Ah, 2025. What a year it was. And it's not getting better.

You have to be at McKinsey for at least 5 years before you're given much of substance beyond research and backup. Pete should get points for being there just enough to know to get out.

Also films that were studio-released/culty but had outlived their theatrical appeal. Often left for trash (at least in cities.) Hard to find a 80s/70s/60s experimental filmmaker/film major who didn't have at least some 33mm trailers (these were aways tossed) or a 35mm print of something interesting.

I stopped going when they went from sponsoring the Minneapolis AIDS walk to not carrying anything with a rainbow. Then they locked up everything and harassed POCs. Then the CEO donated to Trump. Then Corp followed suit. Now, ICE. Once progressive, now agressively regressive. SAD.

Every time I see Graham Platner's name, I read it as Graham Parker -- which makes sense in a waiting for the UFOs kinda way.
