we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

This is an essay I would read.

Seeing this image as a kid radicalized me. Immigration should be easy and open. Immigrants should be welcome. No child should ever be treated this way.

Opinion | Libertarians Tried to Warn You About Trump

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind.

This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine.

Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

Would have been better if it was titled "the libertarians who tried to warn you about trump" and it detailed the contrast between the libertarians who recognized the racism and authoritarianism and the ones who called him the most libertarian president ever and invited him to convention.

WHAT ABOUT THE LIBERTARIANS WHO INVITED HIM TO THE CONVENTION, KAT?

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

"whatever that means" ??? 🚩🚩🚩

Every American needs to watch this:

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Stuck in an elevator

Called the emergency response, they tell us it will be at least 45 minutes before a tech can arrive

Convinced we'll be stuck for an hour

Friend starts messing with elevator buttons, it actually works

We exit the elevator after about 5 minutes

Weird, also replied to me accusing someone I was quoting of being a fed

Going around accusing others of being cops or feds sounds like fed behavior to me

Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts is one of Lawrence Britt's 14 characteristics of fascism

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."

But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

Tom Morello live in Minneapolis

Neither. Good night.

This is not correct.

It wasn't clear in the post I responded to that "movement" referred to MN ICE tracking efforts.

I am likely hyper vigilant but the quotes in the post I responded to gave me some culty vibes. ("The movement has decided... respect its decision")

That's why I sent that reply.

Value is subjective. Perhaps you don't value it bc you don't like the implication that (generally) some movements you like have similarities to cults. You seem to be looking for reasons that my post could be wrong, like accusing the source of being a fed or making a bad faith assumptions of meaning.

surely you don't think that's the meaning of the words you read, right?
