ICE has booked at least 3,800 children +
(Drawing by a 5-year-old detained in Texas with her mother. “I am 5 years old” is written at the top. Lower down, next to stick figures, are the words “let us go.” You don't have to know your Bible to hear myriad echoes here, but phew, those too.)

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

For those just realizing how right I was about creeps like Lawrence Krauss & Richard Dawkins, you should know that I’m also right about good guys like Robin.
I will probably get told off for sharing this - but it does give some perspective on why I was under so much pressure to leave Monkey Cage - I accept my career is dead so….

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

My personal government data was stolen by DOGE. Where is my $10 billion?
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to people who say it's a conflict of interest for the president to be seeking funds from those who he's administering?
BLANCHE: We're looking at how to handle that. He's not wrong that what happened there was horrible, the fact his tax returns were leaked.

It makes sense that the actually-real global cabal of powerful pedophiles made destroying USAID one of their first priorities.
They have to protect the global supply of profoundly desperate poor kids - that’s exactly who they target for trafficking and rape.

Lovely to see the Oregon Republican Party promoting the work of Joey Gibson (who led a group that wore t-shirts saying “Pinochet did nothing wrong” and “RWDS” Right Wing Death Squad) and a guy named Schultz who regularly recorded himself making death threats towards his fellow Oregonians.

I occasionally get Fox News bullet points via my mother in law, and they are mostly useful as a weathervane for what madness is coming next, and the latest was the sudden realization that Japanese internment was bad, actually, and that it was the Democrats who did it all.

Every piece of opsec matters. Every piece you do does help. Sure your only as good as your weakest opsec. But by trying to have any?
Your doing better then most. That shit matters.

Btw, "You're already exposed just by having a cell phone, so your privacy measures are pointless," is the most negatively nihilistic thing to say about opsec, and why the hell are so many "omg don't be a doomer" liberals being so negatively nihilistic?

Thinking about how the victims of Savile & other British Celebrity Rapists did go to the police but for some reason the police only ever started investigating said cases once there'd been a documentary on the telly about it
Why the fuck do we have so many cops & so many FBI agents & so many sprawling law enforcement intelligence fusion networks if all they ever do is say "the victim didn't email us back so we never followed up on their accusations against Jeffery Epstein" or "she sounds crazy, allegations disregarded"

No one told me this until Wednesday, so I'm telling everyone. Remember how you powered through finals week or whatever and then promptly got sick? A similar thing may happen when you try to take a break after prolonged exposure to disturbing material, e.g. the US news.
Recharge. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy snack. Breathe. Embrace moments of joy wherever you can find them.
Prolonged stress can have long term health consequences. Self care is not selfish - it’s empowering.
