Met someone today whose Dad was a medic in WWII and was in the first wave liberating a concentration camp.

Met someone else who lives across the street from where they want to build one in Michigan.

Met a lot of good folks fighting the good fight in Romulus tonight.

Fuck ICE.

Trump Administration Will Collect Social Media Handles from Legal Immigrants and U.S. Citizens The new requirement poses serious threats to free speech and privacy rights.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

This account is sus AF. I've blocked them for sigh idk half a decade maybe what is time.

Call this nonsense out if you see it and highly recommend just blocking them across the board. Plenty of other much better places to find the same "BREAKING" info 1st.

Brad Lander commits to cosponsoring the Block The Bombs Act if elected, which would ban the US government from transferring cluster bombs, JDAMs, artillery and tank shells, and other munitions to the Israeli government.

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.

Like I said, I was pulling a technically card. We have them but again, as I said, Greenland is laughable.

I just like tracking big boats sometimes. You could've looked at my maps though, those are two Pacific/Arctic. I didn't even include the Coast Guard Great Lakes icebreaker bc, um. Ocean.

So many of us tried. Screaming into a rainstorm and being told if we don't say it's sunny maybe we're the problem.

Sigh.

ps PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING MURDERED IN GAZA EVERY DAMN DAY. You can't forgive what hasn't ended!

The campaign lost in very large part bc they decided to chase mythical independents and support Biden/Israel/genocide. No response to, I quote, "I can't afford groceries but we buy bombs for children?".

A Michigander was murdered by Israel in Lebanon. Michiganders lost family members in Palestine including Justin Amash's cousins.

The Arab-American community made the difference electing Biden in MI. And Biden, then Harris, acted like they were an irrelevant nuisance. She lost her own damn campaign.

The person in question has extensive knowledge of American politics and MENA communities as part of their paying job. Which is as much as I'm saying since our conversation was private.

So yeah. Not a low information voter whatsoever.

They're targeting anyone brown and speaking Spanish, citizens or no. He's deciding to protect his fans from being fish in a barrel for fascists. The fuck don't you understand about that.

Early doors of the Gaza genocide, someone messaged me privately who had convinced his Mom to vote for Biden in Michigan in 2020. A conversation that happened in a lot of SE MI between 2016 and 2020.

She said she would never forgive him.

Harris could've condemned. She didn't. We tried to tell her.

We've got 2, and one that is capable of being turned into an icebreaker.

But those 2 are old, meant for scientific research, and nowhere fuckin near Greenland.

Don't support this bullshit AT ALL

But America does have 2 icebreakers.

To be fair to your point, they are as far from Greenland as you possibly could be. And meant for scientific research, as they damn well should be.

'Who's going to win," she says after explaining that she can't even mention the pen names producing books because it will tank what pitiful sales she gets if people know she's using AI to produce them.

It really helps! I told her it would be cool if she said no but she said it wasn't a problem. I just kept one ear open for the like "tilt your head this way, open your mouth a bit more" etc. and all was good.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

drilledmedia on Instagram: "You wouldn’t think the world’s biggest sex trafficking scandal would have much to do with climate but the word shows up in more tha…" You wouldn’t think the world’s biggest sex trafficking scandal would have much to do with climate but the word shows up in more than 1500 of the #epsteinfiles.At first we thought meh, we don’t want to exploit a scandal, then we started reading and realized the Epstein universe’s take on climate intersects with a LOT of the stuff we’re investigating all the time. So we’re slowly making our way through. Take this 2014 email recommending a climate denier’s screed in the Wall Street Journal. Seems like a nothing burger at first… but it’s written by massive geoengineering proponent (and Gates Foundation consultant) Lowell Wood, and seconded by Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer at a time when Microsoft was talking a lot about climate while quietly getting into business with oil companies and developing AI that would help both produce and consume more energy.

Slowly making my way through the various climate mentions in the #epsteinfiles. It's a pretty interesting/disturbing window into the tech-finance-power broker universe of climate skepticism. Exhibit A:
