there’s no such thing as “just following orders” with inhumanity like this
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.

I didn’t watch the election results last night. I deleted all my news apps.
Didn’t plan on checking until Thursday. I guess somewhere in my heart I already knew, at least with Georgia.
But I was spoiled this afternoon by an email from my fav local burrito chain’s mass email: “A Glorious Return”.
