Just how good is that Palantir money, Hakeem?

Same guy, btw. The DeSantis government is one big grift.

On this Day of Remembrance for Japanese American Incarceration, I’m looking at photographer Paul Kitagaki, Jr.’s work: www.kitagakiphoto.com

thinking about this clip of Gonzales from a couple weeks ago was all for deporting five year old Liam, and, needing a nation of laws, cause, you know, he's so upright also emphasized that Dilley concentration camp was "a nice facility" sick, deranged fuck

President Trump has nominated former Rep. Steve Pearce to lead the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, where Pearce would be in charge of 245 million acres of #PublicLands. This is terrible news. Urge your senators to oppose Steve Pearce as director of the Bureau of Land Management ➡️ bit.ly/3MFzM7o

The instinct to pardon Nixon under the justification that it was necessary to "protect the office of President" was never about the office but about the tradition of men who had and were projected to continue to hold that position of power.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

“Nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training,” says Andrea Pitzer. “Abolish ICE” means that we need to get rid of these camps not reform them.

all this stuff makes much more sense if you understand “anti wokeness” as a general backlash to elite accountability more generally, even if you have criticisms of left wing egalitarianism bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Filling in your Board of Peace photo op with your own staff and family is the taking your cousin to prom of international relations.

They literally defunded cancer research and our scientists moved overseas because their jobs disappeared. Fuck these unimaginable assholes.

In addition to Mayor Bass, 2 L.A. county supervisors, as well as 3 L.A. City Council members, & state Sen. Lena Gonzalez spoke out against Wasserman. Having him represent L.A. on the world stage distracts focus from the athletes and the enormous effort needed to prepare for 2028.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

Exactly, David. They did what they wanted to do when Trump admin was more than willing to take the blame.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

1/ The FDA just changed course and will now review Moderna’s new flu vaccine after previously refusing. Public pressure was a factor here. Scientists, clinicians, reporters, and many others raised concerns, asked hard questions, and pushed for transparency.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Florida: we deported all your hard working employees, but have no fear, we're bringing back child labor to fix it. Seems like Democrats have all sorts of messaging opportunities here

RFK Jr.: ‘Time In Hot Cars Helps Babies To Sweat Out Toxins’ https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-time-in-hot-cars-helps-babies-to-sweat-out-toxins/

A man was choked on the floor of a Charlotte restaurant by Border Patrol agents — and thousands of Americans invented a knife to justify it. My newest oped on on the lies Americans tell themselves to excuse state violence. zeteo.com/p/ice-migran...

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

Boy, this seems REALLY important…

Fuckin sick weirdos.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

NEW: In a letter to GOP congressional leaders, six Democratic secretaries of state characterized the voter suppressive MEGA and SAVE America Acts as an invitation for chaos in election administration. “A series of sweeping overhauls…is not a serious effort at improving the democratic process.”

Right-wing media claim that ICE agents need to be masked for safety. New reporting shows that working in immigration enforcement is actually safer than being a civilian.

There had to be a better way to state that this CPB used his position to coerce his married, *biological* neice into a relationship.

This is the third time Ring has backed off of some Orwellian practice because of public outcry; in the two previous cases it went right back to the evil as soon as the uproar died down. There is no reason to suspect this will be any different.

There’s a special place in hell for a cool “blonde” who advises pedophiles on how to handle raping children.

We cannot let RFK Jr. get away with his pseudoscience lies. Congress must remove him now. Contact your rep by visiting standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr to demand that your rep co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.! #RemoveRFKJr #ImpeachRFKJr #RFKJr #standupforscience #science

My favorite deranged story is Lewandowski repeatedly retaliating against top DHS lawyers who won’t let him have a badge and govt issued gun like a big boy.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

Baltimore!

I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

“.. Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don’t trust and have fired employees—in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

look up why Erikkka Kirk isn’t allowed in Romania. in 2008 Erika Kirk, then known as Erika Frantzve, was involved with an org in Romania called “Children’s Relief International” that was allegedly trafficking children.

Imagine spending a gazillion dollars on a Super Bowl commercial and end up shooting yourself in the foot in front of 138 million people
