More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I wrote more about Florida, how to think about naming, and big-picture strategy for pondering your own interventions to be sand in the gears of the many abominations we'll be faced with in the coming months and years.
What's in a name?

Deep (Russian) State corruption. Now in charge of the FBI.
To find out more about the curious case of FBI chief Kash Patel receiving $25,000 from a Ukrainian-Russian-American filmmaker who was part of a Putin-financed propaganda operation, I knocked on the door of a house in Beverly Hills.

Here's what happened.

If you haven’t seen this, you need to!

Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them.

Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm.
Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

This is fast turning out to be one of the most serious human rights violations in our times. Not just this case, but all of the Venezuelan males, deported for just being Venezuelan and having tattoos. there are plenty of effective legal options for actual gang members. This is just racist.

This OPSEC Special Bulletin went out to the Pentagon during the same time period that SECDEF was using an unauthorized Signal chat.

But history will remember it as Black Saturday—the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy.

File this under great investigative journalism on the long history of Trump corruption - Wayne Barret, David Cay Johnston, Seth Abramson. Looking forward to reading "Gilded Rage".
Trump and Musk are getting even richer from their White House gigs — and ushering in a new age of bribery, graft, and corruption to American politics.

Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It
No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this past month.

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is.
