Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist. Ansari details how private prison giants CoreCivic and The GEO Group are “making billions” as detainees are denied water, medical care, and dignity. “What happens inside these for-profit prisons is how the world sees us now,” she warns — so “authoritarian regimes can point to America and say democracy is a façade.” Via @CrookedMedia (Crooked Con November 6-7, 2025) @yassaminansari | @TVietor08 | @brhodes

Yes, not thinking it would be good to have the exact same format. But maybe something like Tafeln giving this kind of information in a way which is immediately visible and digestible for passers by

I actually seriously think this would be a good idea

Now we just need to have the stones recording which prominent Nazis worked there after 1949 placed in front of there too!

Are the stones in front of the main entrance opposite the bauakademie?

Come on queers! Do you believe in history? Cause the zeitgeschichtliches Forum Leipzig has the desire to collect some of it. And it explains it something like this:

Ich durfte die Staatsexamensarbeit von Linda Maily Pham, die dem Vortrag zugrunde liegt, mit @juergendinkel.bsky.social an der Uni betreuen. Ein wichtiges Thema, sehr durchdacht aufbereitet. #Baseballschlägerjahre

Spotted today in front of the Stabi Ost - first time I’ve seen stolpersteine placed in front of former places of employment / public service instead of domestic residence. Are these common? I really like the idea

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Ellen Greene (of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ fame) is also great on the 1976 recording of the NYC Shakespeare festival production

Was about to write asking if you had known Bea Arthur was the original Polly on Broadway after seeing the first post! So good that there’s a recording of it too

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Neue Deportationsfotos entdeckt: Ein neuer Beweis – es geschah vor aller Augen Forschende haben erstmals Fotos einer Deportation der NS-Zeit aus Hamburg identifiziert. Sie beweisen einmal mehr, dass dies vor aller Augen geschah.

"Es werde wohl nicht der letzte Fund sein, sagt Alina Bothe: 'Vieles liegt vermutlich noch in privaten Bilderalben. Aus Berlin, wo es 180 Transporte gab, haben wir bisher kein einziges Foto gefunden. Dabei hatten zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung in den 1930ern Kameras. Es muss diese Bilder geben.'"

Going through some files today and noticed a note that i I had overlooked when I wrote my chapter on race and racism in early west german citizenship law - underlines that position of BVerfG-Richterin Erna Scheffler was that ‘rasse’ and religion were ‘unseren Staat konstituierende Elemente’.

Average Tory leadership hopeful: we should re-establish the Raj. Let's have a fifth Anglo-Asante war. I do not think that Romanians count as people on a legal or metaphysical level.

Labour response: after 14 years of Tory mismanagement only Labour can be trusted to strip Romanians of their souls.

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

NEW RESEARCH confirms:

Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right.

(I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.)
