Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Hey, @propublica.org ..
I canceled my subscription to the Guardian when they announced a deal with OpenAI.
I will do the same with you as well
I will apologize to @propublicaguild.org writers, but I can't support AI based journalism

Police will *never* have community best interests in mind. It's important to remember they were founded with white supremacy at mind and maintaining the dangers status quo at heart.

In case you still think that local police are going to stand up to federal immigration agents:
A few of minutes ago CPD swooped in on a community caravan that was tailing CBP agents to honk horns and warn neighbors, blocking the caravan from following and giving agents a clean break from scrutiny.

If anyone wants an idea for a Nazi trap we just had great results with a pride flag planted in over a foot of snow by the road. Some dickwad and his teenage goons tried to swerve off the road and run it over - missed by a long shot and then got stuck. No one was hurt unless you count their egos. 😆

This is an absolute abomination for higher education. More than anything it shows how deep in corporate pockets such institutions are, rather than valuing independent thought and creativity.
It’s been fun while it lasted: “Purdue University will begin requiring that all of its undergraduate students demonstrate basic competency in artificial intelligence starting with freshmen who enter the university in 2026.”

Honestly, none of this THC ban should be surprising. When a government normalises controlling people’s bodily autonomy in one area, it’s only a matter of time before it expands that control elsewhere.

I hate this. transparent example of how these self-serving comemierdas make a point of appropriating the language around every effort towards strong pluralistic humane societies, not only using it to attack those efforts but diluting it in hopes that it can't be used for its original purpose.

When are we gonna learn that disability issues are also black and trans issues too? When are we going to see that refusing to take health seriously (like masking) has made it dangerous for those with overlapping identities to care for themselves?
I wanna mask up, but I don't out of fear. People around here legitimately crash out and get violent towards folks doing it. Had some dude at FedEx print shop when I worked there blow up and me and my coworkers when I was back FROM HAVING COVID and I was REQUIRED to wear one for at least that first

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can.
If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

2. When Hamas was elected, Israel had already been fully blockading Gaza for THIRTEEN YEARS
