They are concentration camps. They are "Disappearing People," and sending some to their deaths or worse. CECOT and these "Holding Facilities" are no different than Auschwitz. Hitrumpler is in full swing.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again:

To put a finer point on it: Republicans have embraced the “insurrectionist theory” of the Second Amendment—the notion that you have a constitutional right to stage an armed rebellion against the government if it becomes tyrannical. Now they’re lining up to say ICE can shoot any armed protester?

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.

I do think there can be value to pointing out conservative hypocrisy, but it's worth keeping in mind that they don't believe in a coherent set of principles, they believe in a hierarchy of power dynamics: it's wrong when *you* threaten *them*, not for *them* to kill *you*. (reposted with alt text)

“How does feeling feel like to you?” I found this very interesting and is an important discussion we need to have going forward. Pretend that society as a whole is an individual, what would you diagnose us with? Think about who you ostracize or exclude.
