From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

New watchdog report finds Central Florida union busters failing to comply with federal law It’s the same old story: enforcement is weak, and penalties amount to little more than a slap on the wrist.

Central Florida happens to be home to a number of very active β€œunion avoidance” consultants.

Records show, however, that several aren't complying w/ a federal law that requires them to disclose how much they're paid to persuade workers against unionizing: www.orlandoweekly.com/news/new-wat...

A Teen Was Detained at Alligator Alcatraz. Could They Be the First of Many? It comes after weeks of uncertainty around how minors would fit into Florida's immigration crackdown.

new @teenvogue.com: Florida officials claimed they wouldn't hold minors in mosquito- and sewage-ridden Alligator Alcatraz, but a bombshell report in July found a 15-year-old was detained there in July. young people in Florida are afraid.

Unless there are Nuremberg trials for everyone involved in this system, it will be a moral failure of historical proportions.

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday!

Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action.

NEVER talk to police & always STFU!

Ok, pal.

Every serious scholar of fascism disagrees with you. What evidence do you have that MAGA/Trumpism is not a contemporary form of fascism?

The evidence to the contrary is overwhelming.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

The incompetence of this administration is stunning.
Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later.

Fascism is undoubtedly the purpose of the ICE budget, because ICE is already struggling to meet its kidnapping quotas with anything immigration-related. They're already deep into people with no criminal record, people at immigration hearings, veterans, children with cancer, and naturalized citizens.
