Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

you know, you could probably write a book about how many people's fixation on violent, retributive revenge is really fucking up society

like, a lot of books
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

One thing among many that always bugged me about this is saying "RCP 8.5 is implausible" is a comment about human society and the probabilities around human decision making with regards to greenhouse gas release.

This is not the core area of expertise for physical climate scientists........
incredibly frustrating how RCP 8.5 is controversial has been burned into the brains of everyone including climate reporters

Ms Martinez showed incredible courage by fighting to ensure this footage was released to the public.

She’s standing up for Silverio Gonzalez.

For Keith Porter.

For Renee Nicole Good.

For Alex Pretti.

She’s exposing ICE/CBP for who & what they are.

Thank you Marimar.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Kindness is not weakness. Kindness is a challenge run. A challenge run I am probably failing by writing this thread, but fortunately percent completion counts towards the overall score and we're judged as a group. So just try your best.

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005."

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.
They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

The reason why all the first programmers were women, is that they had already been programming their whole lives.

Even when it turned out to be extremely useful for such as *putting humans on the moon*, men still thought of the labor as women's work: tedious and repetitious and unengaging.
