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.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘everyone’ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was ‘evil’ The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.

Wyoming's Breezy Johnson became the second American woman ever to win the Olympic gold medal in downhill skiing Sunday, joining Lindsey Vonn as only Americans to accomplish the feat.

Johnson finished in 1:36.1 to earn the first Olympic medal of her career. nbcnews.to/3NVy1mW

Lindsey Vonn did not crash because of her ACL.

I got up early this morning to watch the women's downhill event at the Olympics. I watched the whole event, from the pre-show to Team USA's Breezy Johnson posting the gold-winning time to Lindsey Vonn being medevaced off the mountain.

In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

I'm so glad Rep Casten is in Congress.

A fanatical child rapist supporter decided to hurl racists insults and attack a teenage girl after she insulted his dear leader Donald Trump, he was then immediately beaten by a crowd of children and teens.

Naah, I want them on trial.

We have now confirmed the facility ICE purchased in Washington County. ICE’s covert acquisition of a warehouse in historic Williamsport - carried out without transparency, community input, or accountability - is unacceptable.

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I can hear my neighbour crying “I Can’t Breathe”
Now I’m in the struggle
I can’t leave
Calling out the violence of the racist Police
We ain’t gonna stop … til people are free
We ain’t gonna stop … til people are free

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

Infinite respect to Woke Hoth Guy, who freestyled a two-minute Federalist paper.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?”

Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

​Newport co-ed cheerleading team is at center of Trump transgender athlete crackdown​Trump admin focuses on swimming, cheerleading in Maine transgender athlete probes The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
