His Former Company Got Caught Employing Undocumented Workers. Now He’s Profiting Off an Immigrant Detention Camp. Disaster Management Group is one contractor behind the nation’s largest detention camp, to be built at Fort Bliss. It’s run by Nathan Albers, who previously co-owned a company that pleaded guilty to a...

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers.

Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp.

“The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

The person in question personally led negotiations with the Bukele government on behalf of MS-13, which explains why Bukele is so desperate to shut him up. It’s inconceivable why the Trump admin would go to such lengths to carry water for Bukele and cover up his gang pact.

American Jews were played — now what? Antisemitism was never the reason for the Trump administration’s attacks on universities. What can we learn from this great exploitation?

Fool me once...fool me like a thousand million times then we have to stand up and say ANTIZIONISM IS NOT AND WAS NEVER ANTISEMITISM STOP IT!

boycott Columbia!!

Gazans Are Dying of Starvation

My overwhelming memory from Hebrew school is being young and seeing images of ancestors starving in the camps. “Never again” was our religion. Here is the paper of record today. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

Israeli Knesset Hosts Conference on Plan to 'Occupy Gaza' and 'Relocate Gazans' | Common Dreams At a conference hosted in the Israeli parliament Tuesday, far-right politicians openly discussed plans to "relocate" the people of Gaza. It comes as Israel makes plans for what journalist Gideon Levy ...

Yes they are planning to entirely ethnically cleanse Palestine. This has always been the aim; the Nakba is continuous.

Judge Chastises U.S. Over Secrecy in Moving to Drop Charges Against MS-13 Leader

The Justice Department is dropping charges against a gang leader they arrested on terrorism charges, in order to deliver him to Bukele before he can testify about his deal with him. If all of this is kosher, why did DOJ try to keep it secret?

“do things.” this woman is in charge of education. i don’t let my undergraduates write this way.

So…not antisemitism.

just saying: this Jew and sometime New Yorker wholly embraces @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his beautiful vision for our city and country. he owes me and my co-religionists absolutely no apology.

yes this exactly

after two and a half days of breaking rocks a good wrtg day

2004: Transsexual athletes OK for Athens

U.S. Olympic Officials Bar Transgender Women From Women's Competitions

2004 vs 2025

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

My subway take is that your brochures should be zines.

Here's why:

Temporary road signs set up by the Met saying at yesterday’s march THREATENING OR ABUSIVE CHANTS MAY LEAD TO ARREST IT’S AN OFFENCE TO SUPPORT A PROSCRIBED ORGANISATION

proves once again that Gil Scott Heron was right about everything: “America land of a thousand disguises/creeps up on you but rarely surprises.”

literally drove to ohio and back to avoid the f Milwaukee Air & Water show but here i am home and the warplanes of this gross and costly display of militarism are screeching overhead.
