"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

I think the idea is to get everyone to hate us so that we can complain that we are the victims.

One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim. Read "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Alexopoulos www.texastribune.org/2026/02/07/i...

Just sent this out, mostly free. The Epstein files show just how close he was to Russian sources. They also make it clear that Epstein represented a historic opportunity to collect Kompromat on the rich and famous. Nothing would terrify a narcissist more. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst.

Organized action averted ethnic cleansing in Ohio for now. But DHS hasn't been idle, turning attention to voting. This is all connected: Trump tells lies about immigrants voting; this becomes an excuse to make it harder for citizens to vote; DHS is central to both snyder.substack.com/p/an-ethnic-...

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

There are lots of important books about concentration camps; two that I have used in my own teaching are "KL" by Nikolaus Wachsmann and "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Golfo Alexopoulos.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk became the first high-ranking official to ask the question on everyone’s mind — Was convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein working with Russia? He added that Poland would investigate possible links between Epstein and Russian intelligence services.

This is illegal and, to make a tiresome point, is ipso facto not an official act. It is also just dumb and crazy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

DHS should be abolished. Visiting high schools where people vote has nothing to do with its mandate.Suppressing the vote improves the security of no one. www.daytondailynews.com/local/homela...

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Massive win for the people: a federal judge granted a restraining order in our Members’ lawsuit against ICE’s unlawful effort to obstruct congressional oversight. This is a big victory for accountability and we’re going to use our rights and keep fighting for all Members' right to conduct oversight.

Thanks to a court ruling today, extending Temporary Protected Status, Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnics cleansing operation. The ruling is notable.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

The US could be solving this problem. We are letting Russia kill, injure, and harm people. Enabling massive human suffering — a cold winter without heat and water — is wrong in itself and will not lead to peace.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

“America cannot survive as a free society if ICE and CBP continue to operate as they have over the last year — let alone as both agencies are turbocharged and empowered with even more funding, more officers, more guns, and more arrests." Garrett Graff www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
