MVM, the contractor under Trump 1.0 caught holding unaccompanied children in an office building and making them bathe in the sink, is at it again; this time they held a woman and her son at a hotel for days, incommunicado, despite the ICE locator claiming she was detained multiple states away.

Inside the Dystopia: The New America is Built on Cruelty and Buttressed by Cowardice
ICE raids are theater. Pardons are protection. Judges are next. Trump’s empire runs on fear—and the opposition’s silence has become his most loyal accomplice.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday.

Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast?

Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

So this item was just approved retroactively. Basically an agreement to detain immigrants in Miami-Dade jails for ICE, with insufficient funds to cover the cost and allowing ICE to block the county from releasing public records from those detained in its jails.

“So while it may feel, at times, like we’re going backward, the first step forward may be to acknowledge, and appreciate, what these feminists fought for, and forge ahead.”
“Second-wave feminists embraced sexual freedom in the 1960s, a decade that saw the rise of the birth control pill, and fought for women to get their own credit cards in the 1970s.“

Btw, this migrant prison in the edge of a national park will cost Florida taxpayers around $450 million per year to run.
They want to build a giant immigration detention facility named “Alligator Alcatraz” at the edge of a beloved national park. The site was intended to be an airport but construction was halted after public outcry due to the environmental impact. Just cartoonishly evil stuff.

“Nuyorican & Diasporican Visual Art” is not just a book. It is a map, a record, and a movement. It reminds us that the work of liberation is collective and ongoing, and that visual art has always been a powerful force in that struggle.

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.
