The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

‘Among the exams that are no longer listed as being required…are “Judgment Pistol Shooting” and “Determine Removability,” a reference to how agents decide if people they encounter have legal status in the United States. It was not clear from the documents when those exams were removed.’

The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. The decision was made over urgent objections from the administration's own health and child welfare officials, who say both the facility and the region lack the specialized care the girls need. That's according to seven sources who work at the Office of Refugee Resettlement within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which handles the custody and care of children who cross the border without a parent or legal guardian, or are separated from family by immigration authorities. All of the sources declined to be named for fear of retaliation. Since late July, more than a dozen pregnant minors have been placed at the Texas facility, which is located in the small border city of San Benito. Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said. Their pregnancies are considered high risk by definition, particularly for the youngest girls.

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do
They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do
They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do.
Then they *lost* him.

Apart from the obvious damage (far less accountability for local governments/police/business titans), the death of local newspapers also means the loss of a (relatively) less toxic source of community and civic sense about where we live

Highlighted text: For some time now, so much writing in this space has tried to make sense of the stuff that happens on your phone. For many people, Red Scare is just a thing that happens on your phone. The Reactionary Right and those literary readings that inspire more thinkpieces than there are attendees? Mostly just another thing that happens on your phone. Clav is another drop in the slop bucket, though at least his shtick lays bare the socially engineered path to virality, fame, and relevance. Culture journalism used to be about contemplating the roots and consequences of noteworthy human activity—our mysteriously emergent ideologies, collectives, modes of expression— but now I fear it’s all just dictated by algorithms.

OpenAI employees pushed for the company to inform Canadian police about a user they thought would engage in real-world violence months before the person did just that, killing eight people in a horrific attack in Tumbler Ridge.
The company only reached out to police after the shooting had occurred.

It's interesting that the angriest and most indignant opinions pushing back on this bullshit are coming from some of the oldest judges. I could speculate on several possible explanations.
But I'm glad they're doing it.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.
