If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

It’s true, and it’s wild the way current drone technology has snuck up on us because a) it’s incredible, and b) it’s the integration of so many different technologies that makes it work.
Every time I watch live sports with drone coverage I'm amazed at just how much it adds to the experience. It's so essential now.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

We should disseminate this information as widely as possible, in the interest of making sure everyone knows they shouldn’t boo JD Vance, as it would make him and the IOC very sad. Everyone should know the IOC doesn’t want them to boo JD Vance. It’s very important that they know this.

Riding bikes through like 5 or more consecutive mild winters, I was lulled into believing “hmm well a warm and wet winter is in many ways worse than a cold and snowy one,” well we finally have a real-ass winter again and, NO, THIS IS FAR WORSE.

Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”

I’ve been good for a long time about not doing too much political posting and especially not wading into intra-left shitfights. On the latter point, it’s mostly because I don’t actually care about most of these disputes beyond uniting against fascists, but also because it can get very unpleasant.
