Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.
ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

If being a landlord isn’t a good business they can always sell.
In a city packed with mighty real estate titans, they are the small ones.
New York landlords say they are at their breaking point as Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins to implement even more aggressive tenant-friendly policies.

Cops love nothing more than hurting dogs. No, seriously. There's a vast history of cops shooting dogs for no reason other than they can. Once it's been pointed out, you can never unsee it.
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Starting in 2017 I volunteered to work election polls in my city after Matt Blaze commented that it was the single largest thing anyone can do to ensure safe and secure elections.
Cities are desperate for younger poll workers. I went from working the "in table" to district warden in one year.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

This is my own personal hobby horse, but I am absolutely convinced that the only reason for RTO was to combat the power labor built during COVID. When your employment options include the entire country as opposed to the 20 miles around your home, that’s powerful leverage over your employer.
I've never been a conspiracy theory guy, but you're never gonna convince me that there hasn't been a specific cabal of ultra-rich dullards trying to buy, strangle, and bring to heel all of the most important reality-shaping machines since the uptick in power labor had during COVID
