Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Ice puts more than 10,000 people in solitary in a year – and figures are rising under Trump

Ice put more than 10,500 people in solitary confinement between April 2024 and May 2025, and use of the practice has quickly increased under Trump’s administration, according to new research.

You could try to be more cartoonishly evil than this but it’d be difficult.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post.

A week to contemplate it.

It's MAGA Congress.
A whirling cesspool of hate
With no votes to spare.

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.

Is it sinking in?

In response to Trump's overtures re: Greenland, Denmark says it's interested in buying the United States in its entirety, except for its government. Denmark says they would give the US an educational system and national health care so that it can become a great nation.

“I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People” said the golem calmly. “I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr. Pump. I may be – all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!” “No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded, And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr. Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Did Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr. Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.”

Been thinking about this a lot recently.

On the eighth day of Christmas this timeline gave to me-
