Read this thread. Understand these conditions are common in American detention facilities. This is not just ICE nor just in the Trump era.

Court back in session for a restraining order hearing on the class action alleging inhumane conditions at the Broadview ICE facility.
Class rep Pablo Moreno González still on the stand for cross-examination by the govt's legal team.

How did he feel being held at Broadview, the plaintiff atty asks.
"Well I felt bad," Moreno González responds.
He says, at the atty's asking, that he understands he is a class rep and can serve to represent other people held at Broadview.
That's all the plaintiff atty has. Court taking a break.

I take back anything I may have said about Tapper hitting Biden unfairly; he has written a book about the current administration and is on tour now.

Many companies have social media policies for staff so that you don’t get ICs saying things that, while true, are so tone-deaf it makes the company look bad.
As Jay points out, we aren’t paying & so we can take it or leave it — but that is unlikely going to be the case forever.

I bet troops are already on the ground here in Chicago — a C130J came in to PWK (Chicago Exec Airport) in the suburbs today from North Carolina, and just left.
This airport occasionally receives aircraft like this to deliver troops to NAVSTA Great Lakes.

As they should be. I spent an insane amount of money on my kids’ first Disney trip. She’s young. There would be more — but now I’m considering how to reallocate vacation budget.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
