Every American needs to know what is being done in the name of our safety and prosperity. I don't personally feel safer or more prosperous by torturing people, but Stephen Miller does.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There’s a lawsuit alleging inhumane conditions at the Broadview ICE facility, but it’s not enough. People doing this under government authority need to be charged.
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

What's the difference between Overpass Turbo and PIMINTO? Overpass Turbo is a Perl-flavored query language just for data in the OpenStreetMap database. PIMINTO knows what chillers, smoke stacks, and train cars look like from the air. It can also read, and you can show it example images.

I finally did what I should have done earlier and checked the NOTAMs, and the FAA at least has nothing related to GPS in this area. I'm curious to see what today's map looks like when it comes out in 15 minutes.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
