Whoever is encouraging grieving parents to build simulacra like this should really rethink the whole entreprise ; this is not just bad journalism- it is exploitive and misguided.

Trump Went to War With the Ivies. Community Colleges Are Being Hit.

the trump administration is selling its war on higher education as a strike against the elites who have disadvantaged ordinary americans. in actuality, the administration is destroying advanced education for *everyone* in pursuit of its effort to deskill the american public

Hello. I am a maid carrying a heavy breakfast tray with tea things up the stairs in a posh country estate / tasteful Mayfair home- it’s my job to enter a room, scream, drop the tray, and smash everything upon discovering the body of Sir X / Lady Y. Sometimes I cry when the detective interviews me.

The goal is to make foreign trade so expensive that it is cheaper to make things in the US- which rests on a fantasy that lots of factory-building and manufacturing is going to suddenly be done here in this country - ignoring global interconnectivity in favor of an isolationist β€œus vs them” vision

When you believe AIDS is a punishment and only value US lives (aside from those who've contracted or are more likely to contract HIV), this is the sort of horror you impose upon the world. Death will be their legacy.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates β€œlike dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This shows up all the time in discussions about police abolition and public space, because the mantra that « cops keep us safe » is supposed to be regarded as self-evident, even as evidence of harassment, racial profiling and deaths in custody suggest otherwise.

Safety for whom? As usual the word « safetyΒ Β» is meant to be the conversation stopper, the unanswerable value- but it doesn’t seem to apply to those populations terrorized by ICE, who fall outside the charmed circle of those whose safety matters to the regime.

Interesting that you prevent yourself from access even within your dream - could prompt a cool heist film where you assemble a team to steal the prize for real against impossible odds

Fun fact for tonight's lawsuit: in 1990, the same mid-level banker at Citibank, Ann Lane, handled the restructurings for Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch, and kept each of them from bankruptcy.
