Screenshot- I'll ask again. If they plan on deporting all the immigrants, why are they building permanent detention centers?

Well, lets talk about it.

Here's a non exhaustive list of groups the gop has said they want to send to camps, or have actually put into camps/segregated from society

1. Black people

2. Indigenous people

3. Homeless people

4. Disabled people

5. Mentally ill people

6. Polticial opponents

What One Man’s 45-Year-Old Case Tells Us About the “Jim Crow Juries” Haunting Louisiana Today, a split verdict would mean a mistrial. But in 1980s Louisiana, when nonunanimous juries were still legal, 19-year-old Lloyd Gray, a Black man, was sentenced to prison for life — even though the...

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law.

Poem The Lie By Mary O'Malley The lie that a protester shot dead by ICE in Minneapolis was a terrorist, the lie that killers set loose on their own cities are victims, the lie that a poem is a gun. A poem is not a gun, though a poem from the pen of Akhmatova or Neruda or Mandelstam, not one of whom ever to my knowledge fired a shot, might in certain conjugations of the stars lodge in the heart and spread out across mountains and borders across languages and the sea and you can't shoot it down, or lock it up or alter its pixels. It is played on the hollowed reeds of dead bones. A poem like that is a bomb. * * * * * Mary O'Malley's most recent collection, The Shark Nursery (Carcanet), was winner of the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry 2025

Poet Mary O'Malley is one of my favorites, and she had this response to recent events in Minneapolis in the Irish Times yesterday. 📚💙

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

🧵Following months and months of reporting on the FDA’s oversight of foreign drug factories, our team @propublica.org published Rx Inspector - a tool that allows you to look up where your generics were made.

Meme. Medieval illumination of Henry III. He is seated against a field of blue, and he looking right at you. In his left hand he is holding a scepter, or possibly a wand. It depends on whether you want him to be a king or a wizard. In his right hand he is holding what looks like a model of a cathedral. He is holding it lightly, with panache. Henry's hair is escaping in curls from under his crown, and his left eye looks a bit droopy. His right eye, though...the gaze from his right eye is hammering into you like a moose through the windshield of a highway-speed Yugo. Henry's mouth is set in a tight frown, like he knows what you've done, and he's not happy. It's possible that you are screwed. Perhaps Henry has used his magical powers & his wand to shrink a real cathedral down to a portable size. This way, he always has one with him. He'll just expand it when he gets where he's going...instant cathedral! Just watch your toes, everybody. Meme text reads: "The eels are for me The boars' heads are for the kids' stockings"

Ok...sure. You NEED eels at your Christmas feast. But what *else* do you need?

In 1245, Henry III ordered his sheriff at Cambridge to deliver the following to him by Christmas:

2 cranes
24 swans
10 boars & their pickled heads
50 bitterns
6 peacocks

And 10,000 eels. Of course.

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women "This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.
