This is terrifying. Hegseth is summoning all flag officers from around the globe to Quantico the night before republicans shut down the government. Is this a final purge of dissidents? Are they going to use a government shutdown as pretext for massive domestic military mobilization?

ICE treats you like a “living ghost,” one woman said from detention. “They don’t care if you die.” Inside the “psychological torture” regime targeting migrants who can’t be sent home.
