Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

First Elon Musk at Twitter, now Bari Weiss at CBS. What’s next, finding out others who loudly proclaimed themselves free speech champions never valued free speech at all, and were always doing “speech I like must be widely distributed and cannot be criticized, speech I don’t like must be censored”?

one of the critical things here is that 90 percent of journalism has been destroyed, and the remaining 10 percent is what was once the top 10 percent, highly status-driven, highly opinion-driven, and intensely New York/DC centered. there's no ladder to come up as a journeyman left.
i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

Van Hollen, Schatz, 15 other Dems demand Trump-Vance-Rubio get press into Gaza.

"The world has relied on brave Palestinian journalists…for uncensored reporting," citing 200+ Israel has killed.

They add Israel only lets in controlled media "who are not permitted to freely engage with Palestinians."

Read this thread on the 60 Minutes CECOT episode that aired in Canada despite Bari trying to bury it. Some horrific details and revelations. And keep in mind that the US is sending people to torture and concentration camps.
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Anyway, curious what possible rationale the DOJ could have for redacting those sections saying that Epstein paid off witnesses to their "criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct," threatened harm, to "release damaging stories about them," and telling them to "destroy evidence."
Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

I'm sure there's a completely innocent explanation for the president spending a ton of time on a pedophile's private jet.
In which we learn that the US attorneys office concluded that Trump traveled on Air Epstein regularly without appearing in he passenger manifest.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Now covering how the HRW report was confirmed. None of this has been reported.

Now showing an influencer video of the isolation cell and noting it matches the detainees' description of what they went through. Good confirmation work, again, new material

Detainee is now showing tattoos. Claims when he denied being in a gang, the immigration officer said "but you're venezuelan"

TdA doesn't have gang tattoos.

Another detainee describes torture. Forced to be on knees for 24 hrs. If you moved, you're put into a small pitch black cell, beaten every

Leavitt saying "these are the worst of the worst"

Deputy Director at HRW says the point was to send a message to other migrants, only 8 convicted of any sort of violent offense. ICE's own records said as much. 70 men had pending criminal charges of some sort. The rest had none.

Spent 6 months in detention waiting on a decision on his asylum application until he was deported to CECOT

The detail that they sent out an asylum seeker who presented himself to immigration correctly also seems new. Again, did we know this? Seems like a weird thing for a terrorist to do

Detainee they are interviewing was a college student in Columbia. Waited in Mexico until he had a 2024 immigration interview in CA - a scheduled appointment - where he was told he was a danger to society. Claims he has no criminal record, never even got a traffic ticket. Was immediately detained

Delivery to CECOT. A detainee describes the warden's welcome speech to them: You'll never see the light of day or night again. Welcome to hell. I'll make sure you'll never leave. Thought they were already the living dead.
