That duck has plans for world domination

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.

You were right. We stopped using it awhile ago. Thanks for setting a good example.

Letters from children detained by ICE in camps

ProPublica is publishing the letters of children incarcerated inside ICE facilities.

If you are from another country, do not come here. Not even to visit. Some of these children have been inside almost a year and only came here for family vacation.

I want to reiterate, because it may have gotten lost in this thread, but ice is now wearing plain clothes, carrying whistles and blowing them at observers in an effort to intentionally confuse people on the ground. That alone is a major escalation and shift in tactics which should be noted.

It cannot be overstated that nothing on the ground here in Minneapolis has changed it has gotten worse and continues to get worse and our leadership is lying about it all.

It’s absolutely destabilizing watching the elite class moves back to business as usual as the citizens attempt to maintain

Getting ready for Half Time, where we get real in the inbetween place.....get to know your Bad Bunny lyrics and why the the orange toilet bowl and his minions hate them.

LOL thank you!

What a wonderful tutorial!!!

Jaysusfeckinchroist, that was creepy!🥶 I read it as a kid (maybe 50 years ago) but I didn't really understand it. I need to read more London. I live about 5 miles from Jack London Square in Oakland - his old cabin is still there.

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

A friend just posted a blurry photo of #skywriting over the #superbowl stadium. Did anyone get a good shot? She couldn't read the message. Probably just marketing but maybe not.

I ran into this post randomly, and it's two years later. I wonder how it's going for you?

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

25th Amendment now.

It’s worth reading both this post and the educated responses

The blep in me acknowledge the blep in you

I find myself wondering if any sane person would want to go into public office. The complete lack of privacy, the conflicting pressures, the constant barrage of people in need… I’m baffled that anyone would be able to do that.

Oh, no. This is just horrible.

#Republican #congress : DO YOUR JOB. You swore an oath to uphold the constitution, #represent constituents. You talked about fiscal responsibility, justice, protecting veterans. Was that just lip service? Are you complete hypocrites?
Stand up against fascism. NOW.

I stand 💯 with Senator Mark Kelly.

Greenpeace International calls for protection of Venezuelan people amid oil-driven US intervention - Greenpeace International Greenpeace International is deeply concerned about the most recent illegal military action by President Donald Trump against Venezuela.

The attacks on Venezuela are a flagrant breach of international and US law, and Trump’s own words make it clear that control and exploitation of their massive oil reserves is his current priority

And end to fossil fuels is vital to stop fueling wars, as well as the climate crisis

If we don't call and write our representatives, they're going to assume we're ok with ... all of this.

Jake Tapper is on Bluesky in case anyone wants to send this to him 🫣😭
