People are supposed to help each other. It's the only job worth doing, and we could probably do it a lot more efficiently.

And before anyone tries to say that "Some immigrants are Black..."

I was a Black immigrant.🤷🏿‍♂️

And I've introduced innocent people to immigration attorneys and defense attorneys.

I've paid legal fees to help innocent people get out of immigration detention and get out of county jail.

Some horrors only become apparent when they start happening to people that aren't Black.🤷🏿‍♂️

I want to push forward to a future where this doesn't happen to Black people, and it doesn't happen to immigrants.♥️🕊️

But some of y'all want to go back to a world where this only happens to Black people?

No.

Hey, since we're all talking about CECOT again, And how sending innocent people to solitary confinement is a fundamentally evil practice...

Can we talk about solitary confinement in US prisons and jails yet? No?

It's only bad when the GOP does it?

It's okay when it happens to Black people?
Fine. Let's compare CECOT to being in solitary confinement in a US jail.

In both cases we have innocent people.

In both cases we have what international organizations have defined as torture.

In one case we have people in a cell 23.5 hrs a day (CECOT), and in the other 23.26 hrs a day (county).

Honestly no excuse. From a general legal standpoint, as a descriptor of *either* party's stated values (I say being very cynical of both), if you think the constitution *or* the alleged founding principals of the country are real--which again, I don't particularly! Others should agree moreso!
anyone saying that an attempt at impeachment & removal would be ineffective needs to be shouted down.

support for removal needs to be built. It can be built by campaigning.

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

As a US national living in Canada, the fact I'm in Canada means I can access news reporting about the crimes my government back in the US is committing. If I were in the US, it would be censored.

This is a straightforwardly factual comment I can make on December 22, 2025.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.

The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.

CBS News is state media. This isn't even the usual spin or trying to paper over a political embarrassment we get from biased media, they are literally acting to cover up a concentration camp
