A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

No matter what country you live in, you can't complain about government.
Be it national, local, or municipal govt.
If you didn't show up at the booth, you have no legitimacy when complaining about broken lights, potholed roads, corrupt politicians, or failed refuse pickup.

Show up or shut up.

Canada has eggs.

We have so many eggs in Canada. More than anyone else in the world probably.

People are saying we have more eggs than anyone else has ever seen. Our eggs are laying eggs.

Some are telling me the eggs are bigger than baseballs. So many eggs we’re having a hard time storing them.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

As I stated elsewhere a short while ago, I think the "Tass reporter" in the Oval Office on Friday was possibly an FSB agent there to ensure that the attack pack did as they were told.

Even for an anti-monarchist like me, this does look good.
Zelenskyy to meet King Charles, before Trump meets him.
Tee hee.
Ok, I concede, it is occasionally good to have a monarchy
Correction: Zelensky will meet Charles at the Sandringham Estate tomorrow, which is the King's country estate.

Quite the honour, which will infuriate Trump.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Just so we are clear on the this. The head of the FAA that was forced to resign on January 20 was the same head of the FAA that halted all launches at space X after their rocket crashed in the Caribbean on the 17th of January
