Shut down all of these concentration camps and provide everyone inside with medical care and US citizenship as reparations, if they want it.
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

Exhibit A about why philosophy isn’t a real degree
“She compares her work to the efforts of a parent raising a child. She’s training Claude to detect the difference between right and wrong while imbuing it with unique personality traits.”
This Philosopher Is Teaching AI to Have Morals
The tech company has entrusted the philosopher to endow its chatbot with a sense of right and wrong.

I said we were done asking for rent money. But today I heard the horrifying fact that there are zero family shelter beds in the entire state of Minnesota. So we are going to try something new.

We are going to do peer to peer funding. You take on urgent‼️ funding for one family. You send to them.

You should very definitely be checking out @newdisabledsouth.org's work in general and this report on "The Intersection of Technology, Disability Rights, and Worker Rights," in particular. Their plain language summary is clear and accessible, and the report itself is extremely thorough.

Atp there is no theres no reason NOT to abolish ICE and anyone who supports them simply anti-American
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.

It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.

This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.
