i need to admit something. the more i think about how many of our problems are downstream of a very small number of ppl and organizations hoarding all the wealth and power, the less interested i am in discussions of american democracy that prefer to focus on anything else.

I would guess that these are hired hits by the cartels against rivals.

If Mr. Takei tells us something about concentration camps, we should all listen to him AND do what it takes to end this abomination.

Justice isnโ€™t ICE leaving Minnesota.

Justice is ICE being held accountable for murdering Americans.

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Why on earth does he think it's a good thing that his family also visited with the child rapists? Complete lack of insight and judgment. Yet this is one of the "people" monkeying with the levers of power.

C.C.D.F. is situated two hours north of Los Angeles, deep in the Mojave Desert, and about sixty miles from the edge of Death Valley National Park. Temperatures can be below freezing in the winter, and well over a hundred degrees in the summer. โ€œItโ€™s hard for attorneys to get out there,โ€ Mario Valenzuela, a lawyer who represents multiple clients at C.C.D.F, told me. It is a three-hour round trip from Valenzuelaโ€™s office in Bakersfield out to California City, and the detention center is so desolate that he often canโ€™t find cell service. He told me, โ€œThereโ€™s nothing around, just barren desert, then all of a sudden you come across this facility.โ€

ICE is running concentration camps in the desert, far from civilization and the lawyers and media civilization attracts. Stopping the construction of camps and shutting down the existing camps needs to be a top priority. I don't see democrats talking about this? www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

In addition to being a sharply prescient satire of end-stage capitalism, it's a very clever piece of art on its own. The dynamics and design of the shanty town contain multimedia layers on their own.

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

209. The Modern Emergency Docket Turns Ten The February 2016 rulings blocking the Clean Power Plan were unprecedented; in retrospect, they were harbingers of a paradigm shift in the Supreme Court's role.

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obamaโ€™s Clean Power Planโ€”a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Courtโ€™s modern โ€ฆ (mis)adventures โ€ฆ with its shadow docket.

Me in todayโ€™s โ€œOne Firstโ€:

People keep asking where the โ€œlineโ€ is, referring to the Trump tweet, and the answer is there isnโ€™t one, partially because white people (including many liberals) created/accepted a reality where there is much more pushback for calling what someone does racist than actually doing something racist. /1

How about we start with abolishing the agency, investigating, charging and prosecuting the many, many crimes and holding every single one of the directors of this horror accountable? How's that sound, Chuck?

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

In American history, our country has never had a more insidious criminal. In every other modern democratic nation, Trump would be spending the rest of his life in prison.
