Times are tough, and some of my paid subscribers have had to cancel lately due to financial hardships. I get it, and I wish for better times for us all. Unfortunately, paid subscriptions are now dipping into unsustainable territory. I am hoping to get eight new paid subscribers before the new year.

This is my last post for 2025 since I am unplugging for the rest of December. I had planned on finishing my analysis of the recent State House committee bill decisions before signing off. But it will now be published in early January.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Safest major city—except in the jails. You know, the ones you developed a contract with to hold pre-arraignment arrestees?
At least 10 COs at the Suffolk Sherriff's Dep't participated in the beating and murder of Shacoby Kenny. It was a lynching, @wutrain.bsky.social. #bospoli #ShutDownSouthBay

Being held *pre-trial* should not be a death sentence.
Any incident of that having is criminal. That it happens as often as it does is damning.

Fucking disgusting. This desecrates the meaning of the Christmas holiday far worse than saying ‘Happy Holidays’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas.’ I don’t ever want to hear about a ‘War on Christmas’ again.
ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.
