I feel like Tom Gores and the Pistons should be included here, his private equity firm owns the prison phone monopoly, it's at least adjacent to the DHS concentration camp industrial complex.

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by
@micarosenberg
et al for ProPublica:
βI donβt want to be in this place I want to go to my school.β
- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Re LRP The parallels between the marginalization of Jesse Jackson as a political figure, along with the policies associated with his campaigns, hews closely to what weβve seen in the wake of the Floyd protests with comedy also being a huge vector there as well.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

If there are still people to reflect on what is happening now in a 100 years, they will have a damning view of the easy ride the far right was given by the mainstream elite

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

I am Graham Platner's age. I too was in the post 9/11 military. I also grew up in a small town in the Northeast US. I am also a college dropout with PTSD. And I am telling you: anyone from my demographic who had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years is either a Nazi or too dumb to be an effective US senator.
