"Man, after they shot Bobby Kennedy right in front of me, making Baked Alaska just never felt the same to me."

Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

...and, to add insult to (stupid, self-inflicted) injury, didn't he accept a Purple Heart after the alleged incident?

senator sheehy should be fired and arrested. what a fucking traitor.

I have no idea how Disney managed to knock it out of the park so resoundingly with the postmodern Duck Tales, but that show is *shockingly* good.

Undoubtedly “hospitality”, right?

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

Because they're petrified of trans people who've transitioned early and are 'undetectable". They want to make transition—if allowed at all—as arduous, painful, stigmatizing, and protracted as possible.

To their petty thinking, trans people represent an existential threat to patriarchal 'norms'.

Once again, it bear repeating: we REALLY aren't talking nearly enough about white-on-white crime in this country. Especially, it seems, in Montana.

I've always been a prison abolitionist with a couple of key exceptions: violent cops, Nazis (in government and out), and serial makers of bad puns. One more pun of that caliber and we'll need to call the jump-out squad to get her.

And yet Congress, including many if not most Democrats, is going to race to vote $50 billion to pay for more war crimes instead of healthcare for struggling families. Apparently to be "electable" in America you have to be an accessory to mass murder. I am so disgusted right now

Itinerant construction worker (who built ships during WWII), and farm boy from Iowa turned bookkeeper for a now-defunct concern that was the largest single meatpacking company in the US for decades.

Aside from the fact that millions of us are doing what we can in the face of often tremendous violent repression from our militarized police, I suspect that the answer to your question is the same reason Brazilians didn't just rise up and stop the army from overthrowing Pres. Goulart in 1964.

(Oops, my occasional dyslexia misread "Mango Sunrise" as "Mango Surprise", but my original point stands.)

Also, "surprise" is generally not a motif I'm actively seeking out when wondering "should I drink this radioactively-colored iced tea product?"

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

The "pro-life" party appears to be routinely violating the human rights of unaccompanied pregnant children.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.

I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

This is literally the exact issue that led to the change in diagnostic criteria in 2013 in the DSM-V. They wanted to depathologize being trans as well as being gender nonconforming while providing criteria to differentiate between the two in the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

ICE said their property was “lost.” Then it magically resurfaced - Salon.com Detainees were told their clothing, phones, documents and money were gone — and then their lawyers went to work

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to “End Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Tennessee wants to ban undocumented children from access to a free public education, and turn school administrators into immigration informants. The Heritage Foundation wants to take that plan national. Read my latest for @theintercept.com:

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

It really seems like *all* of corporate America is literally at the "rip the copper pipes out of the wall and sell that shit to the first person who'll pay cash" phase of "running an economy."

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.
