“The U.S. is clearly echoing previous history with these warehouse acquisitions,” @andreapitzer.bsky.social told @willbunch.bsky.social. “Dachau—not a death camp, to be sure, but one of the earliest Nazi concentration camps—took over a converted factory when it began its heinous existence in 1933."
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It's important to remember: The Washington Post's business problems are a direct result of decisions Jeff Bezos has made—not the newsroom. Yet it's the newsroom paying the price.

He personally guaranteed Geneva Conventions for Ukrainian POWs at Azovstal - promises which were later broken.

My first vote was for JFK in 1960. I distinctly remember all the crises & victories in this post. They enabled me to finish college, work, have a credit card, and raise my beautiful kids all w/o poverty. Every step forward was opposed by GOP, and they won't ever have my vote.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

That’s a very good point 👇🏼

Starmer apologises and gets savaged for it by MSM..

Farage breaks MP rules 17 times, lied about house in Clacton, lied about being told not to hold surgeries, lied about using a tax haven.. says he made mistakes and MSM let it go at that 🤷🏼‍♂️
Keir Starmer took time to apologise for appointing Mandelson to be UK Ambassador to the US to the victims of Epstein.

That puts him miles above all Reform and most Tories.
