THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

the public health response to this has to be “close the camps and free them all” and nothing less

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s.
They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.
They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.
Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.
That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

Small anti-ICE victory. The owner of a small group of coffee shops put up a long, wishy washy post that seemed to mean that if ICE agents showed up, he’d welcome them and kick out people who complained. A boycott was started. A week later, the sign just says “NO ICE. Immigrants Welcome.”

Partisan gerrymandering should be constitutionally barred.

Until a constitutional amendment changes that we can't have unilateral disarmament.
Which means once Republicans kicked off mid-decade redistricting this was the only possible response
