โ€˜No one deserves thisโ€™: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

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.

Had to drop everything and respond for foot patrol because ICE was circling my kidโ€™s school today at pick up.

Slowly circling.

These guys are assholes of the highest order and intimidation is their only purpose at this point. And theyโ€™re still here.

Fuck โ€˜em.

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his lifeโ€™s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

Yeah, Indivisible, No Kings, etc., need to drop their "call the cops" bullshit expeditiously

Yeah I played the shit out of the first one too, it's a blast. I haven't tried the DLC yet but I'm still pretty early in the game. I've only got 2 factions to level 5 so far

I've been playing a lot of Monster Train 2 while I wait, it's a decent substitute lol

That was my first thought on seeing this too. Sure, he's not great, but Newsom is so much worse

Back in my day you could fly from Chicago to Europe with two massive checked suitcases at no additional cost and they would serve you meals and snacks for free

Which is why we need to check the voting record of every sitting Dem when it comes to approving judges during this term.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Maybe Kornilov, Wrangel, Denikin, or Kolchak? Since he spent quite a bit of time fighting the White Army

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you donโ€™t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

A detainee died in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in Indiana on Monday, with the cause of death under investigation, ICE said, marking at least the seventh death in 2026 in federal immigration custody reut.rs/4aY1wgH

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

I wouldnโ€™t live in a Hobbit house because Iโ€™d be hitting my head on shit all the time, Iโ€™d sleep outside in a pile of trash like Wreck It Ralph

I think Iโ€™d probably be into moving to the Shire because theyโ€™d like an adult man sized guy to clean Hobbit gutters and stuff like that, only downside would be seeing all the feet
