I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

It’s moments like these (the BBB house vote) that I WISH I could be, frankly, inebriated out of my mind. The thought of this legislation passing and signed into law makes me want to vomit.

Bo Ericksen Reuters - It's 12:20am EST inside the House chamber and former Speaker Pelosi is one of the only Democratic lawmakers left in the chamber, as GOP wait for 8 members to vote. Pelosi just walked up to floor staff & thanked them for their late-night work. "Total foolishness!" she added.

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

On every single level, Trump shows his allegiance is to Russia.

David Frum @davidfrum.bsky.social · May 2

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

Kamala Harris is set to step off the sidelines and go after Trump on Wednesday in her first major address since leaving office.

The former vice president’s return to public life, the day after Trump marks 100 days in office, will be at a San Francisco event encouraging women to run for office.

This! While there are many fronts to fighting this regime, this is (to me) the most important. It’s essential to our very foundation as well as to the immediate welfare of the humans detained. How can we stand for freedom otherwise?

This is classic “disappearing. It is when persons are secretly detained by the state & the gov't denies knowledge of their fate in order to leave victims outside legal protection. Used by dictatorships to silence dissent, it is internationally recognized as a crime under a 2006 UN convention. Evil.

288 people have been rendered to El Salvador’s mega-prison. We only know 257 of their names—and not because the US or Salvadoran governments shared them.

It shouldn't be up to civil society to compile things like this table. Of course, none of this should be happening at all.

See admis.me/b/2un

Here is what we know about the people disappeared from the United States and were apparently rendered to incommunicado prison in El Salvador:
Country Known Names Unknown Names Total
Venezuela 245 7 252
El Salvador 12 24 36
Total 257 31 288

Venezuela, 252 people. 137 rendered under the Alien Enemies Act, the rest with final removal orders:

238 people rendered to El Salvador on March 15. Names leaked to CBS News on March 20.
7 people rendered to El Salvador on March 30. Names leaked to Fox News on March 31.
7 people rendered to El Salvador as part of a group of 10 on April 13. Names are unknown. We only know it was 7 people because El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, tweeted on April 20 that 252 Venezuelans are in Salvadoran custody, and 245 Venezuelans were already in El Salvador.

El Salvador, 31 people, all with final removal orders:

23 people rendered to El Salvador on March 15. From much reporting, we know the identities of two: Kilmar Abrego Garcia and prominent MS-13 leader César Humberto López Larios, alias “Greñas.” The other 21 remain unnamed.
10 people rendered to El Salvador on March 30. Names leaked to Fox News on March 31.
3 people rendered to El Salvador as part of a group of 10 on April 13. Names are unknown. We only know it was 3 people because El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, tweeted on April 20 that 252 Venezuelans are in Salvadoran custody. As 245 Venezuelans were already in El Salvador, that would mean that 7 of the 10 were Venezuelan, leaving 3 Salvadorans.

Happy World Book Day! ❤️🌎📚

Poor Kara (aka Supergirl)! Looks like Babs (aka Batgirl) has given her a bunch of homework to do in the form of a big pile of books to read. No matter. Sure she'll read them in a flash and be back to flying around the globe in no time! Hopefully with a lot more knowledge about it. ❤️
