It’s so weird if you give it any thought at all. Women need to just stop changing their last name after they get married.

Totally exonerated is guilty as sin in Trump speak
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of a man who had been in immigration detention due to "objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot."
![While Respondents largely do not address the conditions of Petitioner's confinement in responding to this claim, they argue elsewhere that "the medical care [Petitioner] has received is constitutionally adequate." Dkt. No. 22 at 15. But the record here compels a finding that, on the preponderance of the evidence, Petitioner's medical care, and denial of medical care, included objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent
disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot. The Court bases this finding on the
following facts:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreifgw3hkuamuxfvezrwuuwgt43gses572ta3swqhq4ht2ebcbiwpkm@jpeg)

Cases of measles cropped up in two centers for unauthorized immigrants in Arizona and Texas last month. They are almost 1,000 miles apart, yet the centers have one thing in common: They are operated by CoreCivic, a publicly traded detention company with a checkered track record.

Electricity cost rant. I forgot to pay last months bill so I had to pay a double bill well over $1000. Then I got a notice in the mail that if they didn’t receive payment they would shut it off. Ok fine. But they also said if they shut it off they would charge nearly $1000 in fees to turn it on.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
