There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!

What are these societies white men have for centuries called “great civilizations“ worth if those civilizations do nothing to protect their own children from predation, trafficking, and violence?
The only things these men are ever willing to protect are whiteness, privilege, and the almighty dollar.

Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.

Goodnight from Jake Barber, reminding himself that living on a boat moored on Red Eel Island was always going to demand an unusual level of appeasements. Goodnight from Laura Tilling, hearing Honeywink Wood growling against a wounded memory of fire and axe. Goodnight from Hookland.

Trump can exhibit obvious confusion, have no idea what’s going on in general, even have a public BM, and everyone is supposed to act like they don’t hear it or smell it. Nothing to see here!
But we HAVE to note every. single. stutter. and any hint of uncertainty when a woman of color speaks.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.
