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.

I just officially withdrew from the All of Us research program and encourage everyone to do the same. I just learned they work with Palantir (and have since 2024), a company complicit in genocide and that also provides technology used by ICE.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is a Trojan horse built by ALEC and full of MAGA fascism, which Diane Hesselbein is pushing into the heart of Wisconsin.
Genocide deniers at the very top of the Evers administration have cleared the path, ushering in MAGA, Islamophobia, and repression.

This thing called Israel has to stop existing.
It’s so hard to imagine people of all faiths and ethnicities coexisting without war in that land so long as Israel exists.
People who support Israel’s continued existence are fascists. Fascists have no place in civil society or humane politics. GTFO

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
