Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM
The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.
βCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,β he said.
βThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.β

Why Attack Iran?
Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

"Just like the Forever Wars, this fiasco is also birthing its own captive constituencies... from contractors supplying it to MAGA-adjacent young (and not so young) men signing up for ICE, which Ganz describes as 'an employment program for the Trumpenproletarian mob."

I'm assuming the agents weren't masked since they were mistaken for police? If that's the case then we should be able to identify and prosecute them.

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power
In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.
In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite βblack friend,β Clarence Thomas.
