Not all concentration camps are death camps; but all death camps are concentration camps
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

what's going to be really fascinating is in a year or so everyone will be sure they heard bond8 say " prosecute everyone Epstein files the system will collapse" (she never said this)

I'm not even slightly joking when I say that anyone who tries to redefine US citizenship should have their citizenship stripped from them and be deported to another country

I think a lot of AI doomerism rests not on a misunderstanding of the technology but on a misunderstanding of what jobs are

when your entire politics are based on the fact that you cannot get laid
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

well you could always pick a genre other than fantasy I suppose
Read book two in a series, third has yet to be published.

Find another series, read the first two books, third has yet to be published.

today must just be such a proud day for Merrick Garland
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Libraries used to be places for books, with enough room for people to enjoy them. Now they are just places for people, who quite frankly don't make as enjoyable companions

These guys think their brands are immortal. But in ten years, truly no one will give a fuck about Gallup, or the Washington Post

People keep talking about how Bondi is ranting or raving, but they're missing the point that she's filibustering

these are all things any kidnapper would do
Seriously the ICE chief is touting how nice the ICE agents were to the PRESCHOOLER they nabbed as his dad ran from them:

"He was obviously upset, we comforted him, they had officers actually place him in one of our vehicles, played his favorite song, fave music, then they took him to McDonalds." 🤯

One gets the distinct impression watching these hearings that Trump officials are not particularly smart or talented and have only gotten where they have gotten through sycophancy

I don't think Democrats should run on abolishing ICE. they should run on holding public hearings in which each individual who has been abused by ICE has an opportunity to make a statement to the country. then let the People decide what to do

Modern day Republicanism is founded on the unshakeable belief that cruelty is popular, and they are confounded when facts prove otherwise
