Visited the Haymarket Martyrs Memorial and gravesites.
We didn’t realize a lot of other comrades are buried here — Voltairine De Cleyre, Emma Goldman, Ben Reitman, & of course Lucy Parsons.
Very cool to see folks still leaving offerings, we left some of our own.
Solidarity forever 🏴

This was a problem FBI faced many years ago and they claimed to have fixed it after I and some others absolutely lampooned THE SHIT out of them for it, and now they're doing it again because learning from experience is for suckers.
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
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.

Really interesting by @polphilpod.bsky.social. One of the central points is that those who saw the danger of Trump first (often women, queer people or of colour) are often embedded in conservative-dominated communities and have insight into bigotry via their own experiences of being marginalised.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

Some Black military veterans say they would have difficulty recommending service in the U.S. Armed Forces for Black Americans, given the Trump administration's targeting of diversity.https://capitalbnews.org/black-veterans-military-trump/
A Growing Warning From Black Veterans: The Military Isn’t Safe for Us
Some say prospective service members should find another path. Others think that it could be dangerous to cede the military to the current administration.

This is a pretty huge, and damning, internal revelation about the NYT's ongoing overt campaign to stigmatize trans people. Holy shit.
How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.
