Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Amazing how all the serious and professional organizers I follow are overjoyed and energized by today, and the armchair edgy revolution types are demanding to know what if even accomplished to mobilize 7 million people and produce hours of morale-boosting footage of NORMIES saying "fuck you, man"

They lied to you, then took the money you gave them and used it to pay more people to lie to you. I’m a bit suspicious of those who were on the payroll realizing only *now* that the Dems are in on the GOP con.

Is there just simply never going to be a point where we can say what Trump clearly is and what’s clearly happening? Will he make himself president for life, demolish the Washington Monument and build a statue of himself, and the Times will still be talking about him like he’s Bush or Clinton
No one would have any confusion about what is happening if they saw it in another country.
Autocratic leader, building on racist propaganda, falsehoods about crime data, and an alleged assault on a member of his extralegal office devoted to gutting the budget, moves to have federal armed personnel take direct control of the streets of the capital city.
