Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Seeing a spate of Star Wars mentions on the feed and I can’t tell if that’s because of Star Wars news, a shared meme riff, or the ceaseless drone of Star Wars chatter we will all be plagued with until death mercifully rescues us.

A new documentary, "Thoughts and Prayers," looks at how gun violence has led to school lockdown drills becoming a universal part of childhood in America.
That sparked the growth of an entire industry of active shooter preparedness products.
