The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

okay you know what we're doing this

why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

Same fuckers that let Trump shit all over every woman asking questions in the AF1 gaggles. Worthless lot

Things are cooking at Kīlauea right now (but the video feed is having issues). Watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK...

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

Part of the issue here is that people aren’t ready to examine how and why they decide someone is a legitimate interlocutor, and when they don’t, and how closely that’s tied to credentials and a “pleasant” presentation.

Too late! The next bubble has been chosen!

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

"A driving question in exoplanet science is whether any of the many exoplanet of recent years could be or are inhabited. We have no idea, so instead we're asking what the c/o ratio of kelt-9 b is."

I'd enjoy that honesty :P

FCC Fast-Tracks SpaceX's Plan for 1M Satellites. And It Wants Your Thoughts Usually, the commission takes weeks or months to respond to a filing, but it kicked off a public comment period for SpaceX's orbital data center plan in just a few days.

"Gross men blame women for noticing that they're gross" is a very "dog bites man" story.

Hank and John Green's studio becomes a nonprofit as they aim to make 'trustworthy content' online Author-vloggers Hank and John Green are turning their educational media company Complexly into a nonprofit.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

Close the ICE detention centers.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

This administration is stark raving mad, and it is controlled by men - Vance, Miller, Bovino - are all-but-publicly taking orders from neo-Nazis bent on violent removal of nonwhite Americans. The admin barely hides many of these links. And it is driving a campaign of ethnic violence in our country.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?
