He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.

I really enjoyed Jurassic World Rebirth.
It also feels more like a Jurassic Park sequel than any other film with Jurassic World in its title.

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.
It is hard to express enough how terrible today's decision is.
ICE will now send people to countries they've never been to or even heard of — Mexicans to South Sudan, Vietnamese to Libya, Venezuelans to Kosovo —and those people will have no right to challenge that decision.

If Shakespeare were writing for games today he would have been laid off six months ago
Every generation does this. "If Beethoven were alive today, he'd be totally into heavy metal," or hip-hop, or whatever. It's weirdly narcissistic.

I’m astounded at how outclassed the Dem leadership is for this moment. Totally unprepared and unable to respond to one of the greatest crises of American history.
Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
"I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.
If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

would love to read a portrait of rubio the person, who seems to be the kind of vacuous, amoral ambition addict who excels in tyrannical regimes
New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state.
Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
