The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.

The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

I couldn’t agree more.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

Sad that this is triggering to so many

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Bless them.

Thrilled to stand alongside New York’s Cutest to announce our new request for information for 2-K and 3-K providers. This is the first step toward universal childcare, so I brought in the experts.

I'm gonna have a big ol bag of chips and I don't look and sound like a desiccated meatball trying desperately to speak human English so whose diet is really working here?

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I love this! (And if you’ve ever been a professor I know you do, too) 😂

We are pleased to announce our cooperation with Ukraine to further scientific research and military capability. The Russians may have coerced dolphins, but we freely work with Ukraine in the name of science and democracy.

NPS Strips Historical Signage From Two Major National Parks Signs referencing slavery, climate change, and Native American history have been removed from at least 17 national park sites in six states.

Toddler was returned to ICE custody and denied medication after hospitalization, lawsuit says The girl was hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness, the lawsuit says.

There's no other way to describe this than as crimes against humanity. Inhumane, despicable, unconscionable.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

This made me much happier than I would have anticipated

Homan has changed nothing

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

Evil.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

The Librarians, Our Unlikely Heroes In a documentary airing soon on PBS, we meet people who risked their jobs and their safety to resist the wave of reactionary book-burners.

“If our country does manage to save itself, it will be because people just like these librarians say enough is enough. We the people have a right to read what we want, and no billionaire or self-appointed prophet will take that right from us.” @la-cac.org
