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.

The law prohibits state and local governments from entering into agreements to detain individuals for civil immigration violations, stops the use of public land for immigration detention, and bans 287(g) agreements that turn local law enforcement into immigration agents.

Remember: you're not lazy nor abnormal. You are reacting normally to an abnormal set of stressors. You only have a certain amount of energy and you're using it all just to survive. Be kind. #sheshed

Super excited about this... I'm hiring a video editor to help bring economics to a mass audience (yes, really). If you're thoughtful, creative, and want to make complex ideas accessible, I'd love to see your work. Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Or share with your most amazing mates!

Despite all the attacks on working people and their unions, the number of workers covered under union contracts is at its highest in 16 years. Workers know that the best check on a bad boss is a strong union contract.

Let's make politics even more of a game!

Allegations in Epstein files may amount to 'crimes against humanity,' UN experts say | Reuters share.google/S3POakE6Dys0...

BREAKING: Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Tomorrow, I’m leading a deposition of Les Wexner for oversight dems. Wexner was Epstein’s largest benefactor and contributor of wealth. Why? And what does he know? I have a bunch of questions, and I bet you do too.👇🏾

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Rachel Maddox exposed the Republican governor of New Hampshire for working with ICE for a detention center that people of New Hampshire are totally against. youtu.be/0WdqphevyUY?...

Turns out EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) is a true story. Not idle speculation or merely Kubrickian paranoia. That movie is about the catastrophic damage that happens when one merely 'brushes up against' the powerful. It's a terrible and ugly truth and we must face it collectively and courageously.

We should change the name of this country to Stupid Trumpland. In fact anything with trumps name on it should have the word Stupid in front of it. As law.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below). adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

writing a piece on newsom for tomorrow and it is really impressive how shit his record is. I'd somehow missed that he's currently fighting against efforts to tax billionaires in the state.

So much for "free speech." Republicans are scared. Midterms are coming and they don’t want to face the repercussions of their lawlessness.

CBS forces Colbert to pull segment—and he isn't doing it quietly www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

To the good people of the United States of America...keep squashing those proposed detention centers. They. Cannot. Be. Built. They cannot.

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

Does that seem fair to you?

RIP to Robert Duvall, inarguably one of the greatest actors in the history of film. Damn this is sad. 😢🙏

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

It's Time For Democrats to Embrace ABOLISH ICE and Reject AIPAC The Democratic Party will be rewarded by listening to its base and actually fighting for reform and change, including championing "abolish ICE" and rejecting money from AIPAC. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

It's still a cover-up Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

I have a prediction: Sooner than later, one of Epstein’s victims is going to get fed up with the slow-walking BS, step to a mic, and light a match that sets proverbial asses on fire. When the system stalls long enough...someone decides it’s time. ALWAYS.

A win! A federal judge has instructed the Interior Department to restore signage and video exhibits at George Washington’s former Philadelphia residence that explain his ownership of enslaved people.

t.me/NewsInsideUk... t.me/noel_reports... President Zelensky warned that allowing Russia to seize territory would repeat mistakes made since 2014 and earlier conflicts. He said Putin cannot be stopped with concessions and claimed Russia is losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops a month.

It’s horrible everyday! Every other country is getting rid of their big shot government people. Why aren’t we ???

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036. She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to return an exhibit on slavery to Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park.

Ds want people to fight fascism. that could be stratton...unless donors manage to fool voters by burying us all in ads again.

If you’re a voter in California remember Tom Steyer is heavily invested in private prisons and detention facilities. Don’t elect him for governor!

Did I just hear that Rubio skipped his meeting with Zelenskyy and our allies because he "didn't have time" and then flew to Hungary to meet with Orban? JFC what are we even doing here?

"From joining Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to endorsing Mamdani to her comments in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez keeps showing prescience and depth. Perhaps the right woman is staring right in front of us, and we should embrace her leadership." newrepublic.com/article/2065...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

🔥 REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “The ascent of populist movements tells us governments have strayed too far from being responsive to the working class… economic elites are taking the lion’s share of growth and leaving crumbs for the working class.” (P.S. “resign, Pam Bondi”)
