The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.
It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Imagine this woman running our country
WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status?
BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer
WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?!
LONG: I can read the statute and I did
WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
