Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

I believe white Europeans overstaying their visas are still the biggest undocumented group in the US.

That's how you know it isn't actually about immigration.

really interesting that the vice president cites as a key intellectual influence a guy who thinks black people are natural slaves

I've worked for a DV/SA shelter for just about six months now.

Probably a quarter of the calls I've taken on the crisis line have involved an officer as the offender.

Three things
1. “He was not accepted at Columbia.”
2. The man is literally an American who was born in Uganda and grew up in South Africa
3. This bullshit hit piece based on a FERPA violation and using intel from a neo-natalist is meant to manipulate Black voters and all commentary should say that

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.

NEW: Gov. Hochul announces that the state is dedicating $50 million for legal assistance for immigrants like those who may be targeted by ICE when leaving the federal courthouse

I dunno if this is what your experience is Iike, but for people who can see that the US has always been deeply fascist, violent, inequitable, and colonial, watching other people come to the realization that the Dems won’t save us and we need community organizing is actually deeply reassuring.

Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad?

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

With or without
documentation, simply due to skin color.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children

The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted

I don't think I fully understood the size, shape, and color of the immigration issue until it clicked to me that the entire country relies upon what is essentially a legal underclass.

South Georgia officials greenlight creation of nation's largest ICE jail

Oh hell fucking no

And call them what they really are

Abolish ICE.

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

This is a fantastic piece of rigorous, in-depth reporting. It will make you want to pass out with rage. But definitely read it.

The Mamdani campaign released the following statement:

“This is us while fasting.”

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.

We heard there's a new mayoral candidate on the block. Jews For Racial & Economic Justice aka the Anti-Cuomo Social Club have something to say about it. #HellNoCuomo #JewsSayNo2Cuomo

What are you thinking about, in particular?

Obviously! And also this cold winter and my old building’s weird heating are really hard on my houseplants!

It’s just about time to look at seed catalogs. My go to is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, but I also buy Hudson Valley Seed Co at the coop.

Oh nothing, the kid who Elon allowed to access our sensitive information was a eugenicist who "was racist before it was cool."

Please enjoy this baby tapir with fawn-piglet vibes and the tenderest lil snout.

The Spectacle has reached Peak Spectacle.

So much of this current fuckery is strategically focused on disempowering women and taking them out of the work force. No surprises there except perhaps how egregious it is.

Someone: is there a doctor here?! it’s an EMERGENCY
