bezos and the post is yet another reminder that it's impossible to have billions of dollars and operate in the public interest at the same time. nobody with that kind of money got it by looking out for other people or putting the common good first. that's why it's so antithetical to journalism

I dunno man I think the case of "was friends with Epstein" vs "was not friends with Epstein" is pretty clear cut

Parenti wins again (RIP)

Brantley is one of those names you'd come up with to make fun of white suburban moms

Considering dem leaders views on ICE, this post reads like an indictment of bad bunny. Abolish and prosecute ICE and everyone else involved.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

pretty cool that so many people in power are completely fucking nuts now

(it is not cool)

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.

They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

abolition and prosecution is the only path forward

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

this should be a career killer

grok give me the fakest looking muzzle flash you can possibly generate and make it point the wrong way

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

this is great progress and all but what the fuck is wrong with that 33% of "independents"

Historians say Jimmy Carter’s human rights legacy includes grim failures While experts say the late US president set a high bar for human rights, he also had notable failings while in office.

carter was pretty bad too just less bad and his presidency is almost entirely overshadowed by his post-presidency work in discussions about him www.aljazeera.com/news/longfor...

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

cops aren't supposed to execute people doing illegal things either

what in the sweet christopher christ are you on about

Consciousness of Guilt: An Opaque and Secret Memorandum with Threats of Reprisal 13. Despite the May 12 Memo being addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the memorandum has only been distributed to select DHS and ICE officials. Furthermore, our clients have been told that the May 12 Memo must be treated with unusually strict access control for a document without any confidentiality markings. 14. To wit: one of our clients was allowed to view the memorandum only in the presence of their supervisor. They were handed the Memorandum, allowed a few minutes to review it without the ability to take notes, and were directed to hand it back. They were also informed that another employee had been reassigned for contradicting a supervisor about a different ICE policy. Our client understood their supervisor shared this piece of information as a warning that expressing disagreement with the new arrest policy could result in adverse career consequences. 15. Together, our clients are aware of multiple DHS employees who faced retaliation for expressing their concerns and/or disagreement with the May 12 Memo’s policy change, likely constituting prohibited personnel practices. One client is aware of a seasoned government instructor, tasked with teaching this new doctrine, who chose to resign rather than be forced to teach what they understood to be unlawful.

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing.

At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

this just in: the langoliers are currently chasing AF1
