Ok. Cool thanks for clarifying. I’m worried about the reports of massive ice activity and then nothing.

What’s happening?! I saw a bunch of posts on threads a couple of hours ago and now they are all hidden. Not finding anything on here either.

Female Nazi concentration camp guards: the true horror lies in their similarities to ourselves Women guards are often portrayed as masculinised sadists, but the more prosaic – and shocking – truth is they were often just normal women who acclimatised to the brutality of the Nazi regime.

I was wondering how anyone could take part in the cruelty of ICE. We can look to history for the answer.

β€œIt’s now thought most were ordinary women who took the job for the high pay but, once in the camps, acclimatised fast to brutality.”

So I saw this fascinating

And then I came across this pic of Nancy mace and now I’m wondering: Does Nancy have gay fingers?

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Sigh. I’m sorry. I bought the audio of yours, and I do sometimes buy hard copies but almost never read them so it’s kind of a waste of money (and space in my house) that I just can’t justify. I hate it for authors. πŸ’”

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

Hegseth is reckless and can’t be trusted with our military secrets.

He must be removed

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people β€” many without removal orders β€” scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

If you see β€œEl Salvador” on the packageβ€”don’t buy it. Check every label. Let’s send a message. Asking or international supporter to join in also.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Full North Korea.

Everyone has to start by praising him, then give him an update on what they’re doing, all due to him and his vision…then end by thanking him.

It’s stomach churning.

I’ve never been in a leadership meeting like it in my life.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res β€œrule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his β€œmom” and β€œdad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
