Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

My colleague, Dr. Vahid Abedini, was illegally detained by ICE on Saturday. He is currently being held without a court date in sight, despite being in the country legally. Please spread the word! We must ensure his due process rights are upheld. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-prof...

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

Hey everyone,
I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents.
I get it. I really do.
Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

Sure. Most people will die still owing money to the bank. The debt is forced onto the next if kin, or the bank takes the house. Either way, the bank wins and people never actually own their houses, but they remain responsible for the upkeep.
This is part of the plan to destroy the middle class.

Nov 4th is election day for about half the country. Yes, Dems are ahead in most of the key races.
But, we cannot afford to get complacent. We need everyone to turn in their ballot, get to the polls if one was not mailed to you. Every seat matters.

Important update from SSA if you are applying for your benefits.
‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

Succinct description of the right-wing brain worm.
It is known. It's always been known. They never made any secret of it. It's just that right-wingers pride themselves on deliberately ignoring anything they don't feel like knowing, and making up something else instead.
