Keep your eye on Newport, OR population < 11K. ICE is planning a new facility on the Oregon coast, and the community is meeting tonight. Tourism & fishing/crabbing both rely on immigrants in the community. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social @wkamaubell.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @chrislhayes.bsky.social

He's making the convicted groomer and sex trafficker of minors related to this case more comfortable in prison and may commute her sentence. Nothing suspicious there.

WATCH β€” @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : β€œMy amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Jonathan Braun, Felon Freed by Trump, to Be Sentenced Again in Brooklyn A Brooklyn federal judge found that Jonathan Braun had violated the rules of his release by assaulting a nanny, swinging an IV pole at a nurse and dodging tolls in luxury cars.

A felon whose sentence President Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term was sentenced to 27 months in prison on Monday after being accused of a range of criminal conduct β€” including physical and sexual assault β€” since Trump freed him. nyti.ms/3LSL8nC

Pregnant women report medical neglect in ICE detention, rights groups say Women report miscarriages, delayed care, being shackled and being held in solitary confinement, letter says

Precisely.
Irresponsible to report construction of these tools of the fascist state, as if it's just a 'bricks and mortar' [or in this case - tents and razor wire] story,
without making clear what they are really for.

And the dehumanizing of those rounded up.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.
