At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

This week I guested on Secretly Incredibly Fascinating with @alexschmidty.bsky.social to talk about one of my favorite topics ever. How off the wall crazy Jim Thorpe’s life was! Listen to it wherever you find your podcasts and if you want more cool Thorpe facts, pre order my book! It’s full of ‘em!

ICE's terror did not start with Noem and won't end now that she is gone. The whole agency continues to act with impunity, attacking the press, and silencing dissent. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores, a journalist from Nashville, was unlawfully arrested by ICE without a warrant. She must be released.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.

How the hell did this happen?

Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

it’s only an echo chamber when it’s the left. when it’s the right they call it some bullshit like the Agora or the Town Square

I didn't grow up with any Native American traditions beyond a knowledge of Penobscot and Mi'kmaq ancestry. But some Native stories, like the latest Secretly Incredibly Fascinating about Jim Thorpe, with @alexschmidty.bsky.social and @joeytainment.bsky.social, hit in a nostalgic way I can't explain.

uld you support or oppose abolishing ICE? (%) Somewhat or strongly supportNot sureSomewhat or strongly oppose U.S. adult citizens 39 Party ID Democrats 14 Independents 35 Republicans 68

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.

Literally, "abolishing."

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Having grown up a white kid in the Jim Crow south, I’d now say that pretty much was slavery, though I didn’t start to understand that until my early teens.

the NYT op-ed editor commissioned the executor of jeffrey epstein's estate to write for the paper eight times in 2025

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

Yeah, by now I'm pretty immune to that kind of manipulation from pro-war ghouls

Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
