for clarity and context, jeane wong is a us citizen who organizes around the detention center and ice activity, who was at the time being held by dhs agents in a federal facility

please read this "[Organizer Wong] says that federal immigration agents told her that they could do anything they wanted to her and that she was no longer in the United States. She also says the agents mentioned the death of a man in detention, then said, 'Yeah, you know, crazy things happen.'"

If Al Gore had done this as vice president, it would have been a 24/7 scandal on Fox News culminating in impeachment proceedings.

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

At the end when she is doing the Monster Hunter music, it isn't just bad b/c it's video game music. Monster Hunter's scores are boring even for video game music. I have over 2500 lifetime hours across several monster hunter games. I could not hum a single tune from them. That's the true humiliation.

I'll do one: Tar is a horror film.

Tbh this website is legit good for high engagement content— why if you're left of center at all you should be posting here

engagement is off the fucking charts tbh. like the ratio of posters to lurkers seems quite bizarre actually

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

the only thing that stops a bad man with a gerrymander gun is a good man with a gerrymander gun

there's a tendency for ppl to utilize a marxian language of classes to categorize subgroups of people in a way that makes them seem more revolutionary (eg, "professional managerial class," "laptop class") and it typically offers more distortion of social relations than clarity.

Becoming a broken record on this, but "Epstein class" just strikes me as bad class analysis. I think "set" is probably a better term (maybe even criminal syndicate lol) but it doesn't encompass the political-economic class writ large...

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

worried about the Rae v. Nithya in-fighting but given the recent history of which progressive candidates are successful long-term, I’m putting my money on Nithya given her extensive local political experience leftist candidates are *much* more successful long-term when they have local experience

ICE detention—i.e. caging of tens of thousands of people that upon which hundreds of parasitic corporations profit billions—is an inhumane abomination that future generations will decry as an evil relic of a crueler past

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

industry really is that Show

many such cases

Woke 2 is firing on all cylinders and ahead of schedule, I didn't have "the president has to retract his nakedly racist social media posts" on the calendar until july

anyway sorry the guy you have supported and made excuses for for years is a sadistic gutter racist whose every action would horrify your average saturday morning cartoon villain we did tell you, repeatedly

"Horseshoe Theory" is the theory that horses need shoes. It's controversial because most animals don't wear shoes.

when this is all over there will be a whole lot of "well I just didn't know" and yes you fucking did you don't get to "oops" your way out of this one

Judge Dana Douglas's dissent sets up the unusual circumstances of this appeal, the stakes of this case, and the error of the majority very well from the start. "Straining at a gnat, the majority swallows a camel."

Aaron is right, and, what's more, the procedural irregularity Douglas details here shows that not only was that the Trump administration's goal here — but that Jones and Duncan helped them along (if it not directly being their goal as well).

People refer to AOC and Zohran as generational talents but they are both of the same generation, are from the same city, belong to the same political organization, and even live in the same neighborhood. There is something that we are doing that is not mere luck.

oh wow I have the name of this mythical organization: it’s called ur local DSA

reminder of how far out of the bounds of legal reality the 5th Circuit is, even when compared with other FedSoc/Trump-appointees what a dangerous decision that will directly lead to the deaths (read: murders) of tens, potentially hundreds of people, coupled (of course) with the suffering thousands

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court. And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

in seriousness it is sweet and encouraging that there were cheers in milan for the us team and boos and jeers for the us vice president. that's really nice
