CECOT prison photo showing hundreds of prisoners named except shorts, forced head down, cross legged

Prisoners are stripped and marched through CECOT, hands behind their backs. A sign says "celdas"

CECOT images of people stacked in triple decker cages

CECOT overhead image of men forced to kneel with their head in the small of the back of the prisoner in front of them

I don't have words for the fear these images conjure up, only that when I look at these images I know what I am looking at — and it is the most direct route to hell that humanity is capable of taking.

The death of due process is the most egregious assault on human rights protections in any democracy. Without it, democracy simply does not exist. Call your senators, call your reps. Call the governor, call your HOA for all I care, but please make noise for the people they're trying to disappear.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Print Media to Mass Protests: “Please Turn to Page 18” Here’s how newspapers across America minimized one of the largest demonstrations since Trump’s return to power.

"When print outlets bury one of the largest nationwide protests in recent memory, they’re not being neutral arbiters. They’re making a political choice about what deserves attention and what doesn’t."

Priceless samples from Ukraine's seed bank destroyed in bomb attack Part of Ukraine’s national seed bank, a repository of genetic diversity, has been destroyed by a blast in Kharkiv, and the rest of the collection remains at risk

Where did I hear about this before? Oh right…

I would love to see data proving the election results were true and not tampered with. Until then, I will respectfully disagree.

I got a head nod and an approving half smile from a goth teenager last night.

Feels like I could take over the world.

Trump says Education Department will no longer oversee student loans, 'special needs' The president said federal student loans would move to the Small Business Administration, and hinted that the Department of Health and Human Services would take over special education oversight.

The ultimate goal is to remove special needs children and poor people from educational spaces. We need to occupy spaces. #education #disabilityrights

Starting now, folks!

Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all,” although the agency cannot be closed without the approval of Congress.

We should stop filing our taxes…

Don't forget that tomorrow is the economic blackout!

Companies Who Abandoned Their DEI Programs Which Companies Are Retreating on Inclusion?

No shopping, no gas, no fast food. Will you join today’s economic blackout?

if you don't believe this run a search for "the sin of empathy"
