Companies reap $22bn from Trumpโ€™s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

A unit of Valentine Infantry Tanks Mk.III in the western desert in 1942. The foremost tank is likely a survivor of Operation CRUSADER as it looks as if the white/red/white marking on the turret and front track cover have only been overpainted in haste. Three men are on the tank, with one of them, likely the commander, peering through his binoculars for the photo opportunity. Likely IWM but I do it have the archive signature.

Matt is finding it really hard to get any work.

AI has had a devastating impact on his writing jobs. Heโ€™s had five clients let him down this year.

While I am sorry to hear that the Allied cemeteries in Gaza have been partially demolished by the Israeli military, I am glad to see that the Guardian was able to talk to Essam Jaradah, a former caretaker who was not evacuated to Egypt with the current CWGC staff.

Itโ€™s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. Itโ€™s 400,000-square-feet.

My Daughter Lived the Liam Ramos Nightmare. It Turned Out Worse for Us. The constant threats took a toll on my health. My daughterโ€™s health deteriorated even faster.

Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.

Filth, illness, medical abuseโ€”her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.

We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

Something I was not expecting to read in Shunsaku Tamiyaโ€™s autobiography was 4 pages about his trip to Israel in 1968 to see a Soviet T34 tank captured in the 6 Day War. A lot of the book is about the efforts he went to for research so that Tamiya models are accurate. A passionate perfectionist
