Crazy to me when spec magazines are like, "please no vampires or robots". We've got tech bros plotting world domination and nobody's got something new to say about vampires or robots?

This is on top of the $87M facility in Berks County.
$206 million in taxpayer money just for two building that will surely require millions in retrofitting, followed I guess by federal contracts to run them.

ICE has purchased a 1.3 million-square-foot former Big Lots warehouse in Schuylkill County, PA, for $119.5M. The agency plans to convert the facility into a detention center for thousands of undocumented immigrants.

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.
He couldn’t hear their orders.
They denied him an interpreter.
Denied him accommodations.
This is who they are.
They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

One of my friends does some community theater, and every time I see him perform I'm not prepared. It is a very special thing to watch someone you know do something cool, really really well.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
Say his name:

It feels kind of odd both living through the new wave of authoritarianism and the golden age of data tracking and visualization
It's a nationwide digital spotlight on ICE arrests and detention centers.

Retrospectively maybe I should have said more and more furiously. ICE should be dismantled, and those that have committed crimes in its name should be tried in a court of law. But if my home county could stop openly collaborating with them, I would take that as a step 1.

Local agencies should end their agreements to work with ICE [letter]
This month, the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office ended its 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It is time for Lancaster County police departments to do the same.
