Always perplexed by this one (by Akbar and Parker Lee) which was on the CD of Jamalski’s Roughneck Reality, and honestly, it’s best song by far.

The other term for this is “concentration camps’
For its next step, ICE is turning warehouses into massive detention centres, the largest of which is more than four times the capacity of the largest prison in Britain www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US
Plans for ‘mega centers’ and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

Here’s why the media and Dems fail us every time. This is long game political blackmail. When they say a drawdown is dependent on “state and local cooperation,” no one in the media is asking or naming specifically what it means. But what it means is compliance with federal terrorism.

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.
this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

For a while I have wondered if we would ever see an instance of a police officer—one good apple—risking their life to come between ICE and an intended victim (and not just interposing themselves en masse as a barrier between ICE and observers/protesters), but I have not seen it yet.
I know we all want heroes, but I do not understand why people keep circulating this old quote. Talk to someone in Minneapolis. Has MPD intervened? No. Has anyone been fired? Again, nope.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, etc etc… and yet, when something like Critical Race Theory has entered the conversation, those members of the press suddenly get all “😮 what are you saying?”
That is to say: I think there is more to it than unreflectivity.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.
my emerging theory is that the political press literally does not believe in objective reality in any meaningful sense. there is only what A says and what B says and how that affects the horse race
