The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

oh hey cool you wrote a scene and then you wrote another scene that's the most logical thing to happen after that first scene. and then you did that again. that's neat. love that. but what I am saying is what if the people were all made out of rats.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

An administration full of mediocre white men so aggrieved they didn't get into the college they wanted to who think it's because they are white men but really it's because they are mediocre

I've said this a couple of times, but until news coverage of the trump administration makes clear "the doj and fbi will not prosecute republican crimes, or crimes by people they favor," journalists are lying to you
