one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players

Colorado immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra nine months after she was taken into custody ICE "I am thankful that they never gave up, remaining committed even when the outcome seemed dark […] This fight is about the constitutional rights we all share, human rights and dignity for all people,"

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Problem 2 with talking about delegalization: The things Trump killed weren’t, really, full immigration status. People with parole/TPS are still counted as “unauthorized” in official stats. They don’t create pathways to permanent status — that’s part of the reason there are so many folks affected.

Boulder-based BI Incorporated, a subsidiary of Geo Group, signed a contract with ICE this month to track down immigrants in immigration court proceedings (not detained cases). The contract is worth up to $121 million over the next 2 years. BI generally provides ankle monitoring services to ICE/Geo.

If I ran the numbers right (no guarantee on phone), now up to an average of >1450 over the first two weeks of December. Lot of SFL enforcement last 2 weeks, & after seeming pretty consistent about transferring out w/in <3 weeks over Oct and Nov, seeing people hit the full-month mark this week. 😕

ICE just released updated detention statistics. As of December 13, 2025, ICE reports a total of 68,442 people are held in immigration detention. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

I am sure the 60 Minutes report on CECOT was very well done, but what makes the decision to kill it even more damning is that CBS was hardly out on a limb on this story. It has been extremely well documented and reported by many journalists.

Behind the walls of Indiana's ICE detention facility

This isn’t a shift. We have never been allowed to see in detention centers a feature of this country for decades. No one plasters dead bodies on the screen to promote war. Fascism thrives on the rhetoric of violence, but people don’t like to see how it marks bodies- thus censorship.

Colorado Avalanche = Good at Hockey

Someone leak it please 🙏

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

An Editor’s Note from 60 Minutes

Olive grove by olive grove, sheep pasture by sheep pasture, village by village — over the past two years, Israeli settlers, often with Israeli military support, have escalated their unrelenting campaign to seize land and erase its Palestinian presence. Paywall free: nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Camp East Montana” is the tent camp on Fort Bliss in El Paso. It was supposed to be where people would be held for max 14 days. She was held there three months.

AFCON is in session 👀 And what a better way to start the tournament than with an overhead GOLAZO by #Morocco attacker Ayoub El Kaabi 🤩

I worked at South End Press in the 90s and met/hung out with Chomsky a few times. A lot of professional leftists are prickly, under-socialized, and/or annoying. Chomsky is just a jerk. He wouldn’t notice Epstein’s flaws because, fundamentally, he’s also just an arrogant white dude.

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Although formally the Naturalization Act of 1790 limited the procedure to all "free white persons", one's access to rights, privileges, and relation to sovereignty and land was determined not by formal citizenship, but by race, class, indigeniety, membership in other social orgs. 5/

1-0 to the Arsenal.

Hope that boosts Gyökeres' confidence. Arsenal needs him in form over the next few months.

Records show ICE has already paid BI $1.6 million, with the potential for the contract to grow to as much as $121 million by the time it concludes in 2027. interc.pt/4599xMw

This is the Everglades facility with the terribly cruel alliterative name that I won't repeat here. ICE had been detaining people here for months but lied and claimed that it was under state jurisdiction. Florida Soft-Sided finally showed up on the ICE facility list released in early December.

Florida Soft-Sided Facility is located in Ochopee, Florida. Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently detains a person at this facility for an average of 12 days. detentionreports.com/facility/FLO...

This was a human being. What the fuck is wrong with you?

No updated ICE detention statistics today it seems. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

They are so contemptible.

"I know they killed him" Lucía Pedro Juan was detained with her husband, Francisco Gaspar Cristóbal Andrés, on Sept. 1. She was held for almost 3 months in Camp East Montana. She was deported to Guatemala. Her husband died on Dec. 3. I traveled to speak with her for the El Paso Times.

This week the Trump administration reported FOUR new deaths in immigration detention, bringing this year’s total to 30—the highest in ICE's history, worse than during the COVID pandemic. We must ensure humanity and dignity for those detained and rebuild accountability and oversight of this system.

This is grim reading — but it is also a non-scientific, small sample (apparently) from Nashville. Contrast with the two young dudes from Minnesota in that video going around today who compared ICE to Nazis. These are about equally representative! www.city-journal.org/article/manh...

My team put out this report (which took over a year in analysis, writing, and web development) on how redrawing school systems could transform US public schools for the better, with ↑ funding equity and ↑ diverse districts. Bc isn't it nice to think of actually SOLVING A PROBLEM right now? #edusky

Cognitive dissonance visits the "walls work" crowd.

In Feb., a court ruling permitted GeoGroup to restart booking in ICE detainees at Adelanto. Intake had been halted for several years due to Covid. This explains why the detained population at Adelanto went from the single digits to over 1,000 in about 6 months. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s concerning that we’re enabling a police and surveillance state of unprecedented scale at the same moment when the veracity of any textual or visual document has become structurally suspect
