That’s how fascist concentration camps work. Nazis knew this. American fascists know this.

The goal is mass death.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.

This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.

Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her descriptionβ€”it's worse.

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last year’s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided β€œnah.” That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.

A racist rightwing regime led by people who are obsessed with birth rates, IQs, natural selection, a mythic past, is purifying the country through mass deportation. I’m sorry that a moment of public awareness is occurring through something as gauche as a mall-brand ad campaign but … grow up?

Brown’s Trump surrender shatters a dream | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, about those "Trump accomplishments"

Brown's liberal, open curriculum taught me higher ed wasn't just career prep but reading the great books and learning to be a good citizen

My alma mater's heartbreaking capitulation to the Trump regime makes me wonder if my dream was a mirage

I'm never get over the fact that this administration's war on trans people is being carried out with the pretext of "protecting women and girls" while the president is a pedophile rapist.

Ppl who own million dollar homes in Wayzata want to tell working class Minneapolitans that their vision for the city is out of touch with reality. But the real question is WHOSE reality? When it comes down to it, what separates us from many of our goals is their greed.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

Big Tech is power-hungry, and America's aging grid can't keep up As Big Tech companies continue to pour money into the data centers that underpin AI and cloud-computing technology, they are counting on a fragile, unstable, and possibly unequipped power grid.

My feed is just Sean Duffy and Sean Puffy Combs so you’ll excuse me for thinking these two have morphed into a composite sketch of a man who became famous on MTV in the 90s, and who is now asking to be let out of prison so he can put a nuclear reactor on the moon.

After a week of smoke, a look at Canada's approach to fighting wildfires differently Minnesota saw a record-breaking six-day air quality alert due to wildfires burning in Canada sending smoke into the skies. Canada is seeing one of it’s worst wildfire seasons on record.

Great discussion here on the causes of increased smoke in our Minnesota skies.
Wildfires have increased 4X in Canada and the US since the 1970s. πŸ”₯
What changed?
The climate.

I'm getting the same reaction when I tell people that Obergefell v. Hodges (same sex marriage case) will be overturned sooner rather than later.

During the 2024 campaign Trump literally just said that if he wins they will "fix it so Republicans will never have to vote again" and the press was like "huh I wonder what he means by that, doesn't seem like something we should follow up on"

The pristine lakes of the Boundary Waters β€” our nation’s most-visited wilderness β€” must be protected. Secretary Rollins put no thought, logic, or analysis into her decision to potentially expose the Rainy River watershed to highly toxic sulfide-ore copper mining.

The gulf between popular opinion and policy on Palestine in country after country is unreal.

The establishment parties around the world are torching their credibility with voters, and for what? To help Israel commit genocide?

The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne "The God" (Why is he allowed to use the word "GOD" when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?). He's a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done - like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight.
He didn't know that, or India and Pakistan or, wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER. But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!

Abolish the bar exam.

Yesterday, a law graduate taking the bar exam in NY had a heart attack during the test.

Her fellow test takers were told to stay in their seats. They were told not to help her.

They *did not stop the exam.* They demanded test takers proceed as usual.

I have to restate how insane this "deal" is from the US perspective, it's 5% more from the baseline, and it makes importing European cars cheaper than producing American cars

Meink, the Air Force secretary, said that he thought the cost of the Air Force One renovations would be manageable. β€œI think there has been a number thrown around on the order of $1 billion,” he said. β€œBut a lot of those costs associated with that are costs that we’d have experienced anyway, we will just experience them early,” before Boeing delivers its two Air Force Ones. β€œSo it wouldn’t be anywhere near that.”

I do not understand how the federal government can spend $1 billion renovating a plane and Trump just gets that plane.

I mean yes, I understand that Trump runs the federal government like his personal piggy bank.

But what the fuck.
