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.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Canadian Media: bringing you Heated Rivalry AND a sobering episode of censored journalism on American torture camps
Bari Weiss is so wildly unqualified for her job she didn't know to check for international streaming rights before spiking the 60 Minutes CECOT piece. Blame Canada.

we, in the United States, through Trump’s mass deportation scheme, have engaged in abductions and torture for the past year, none of it in secret, much of it attested to in legal documents. there is nothing to expose, only to face.

people can be so freaking rude to patients who have issues with generics, especially stuff like ADHD meds that might be baseline stigmatized or already hard enough to get *any* manufacturer in stock

NEW: Billions of prescriptions for generic drugs are filled in the U.S. annually.
The FDA reports testing only a few dozen of them every year, and it has largely dismissed warnings about contaminants, irregularities and other issues.
Here’s what we found when we did our own testing:

This is a great example of what we're trying to tell you about the breadth of information historians use to do our research.
NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.”
The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.

maintaining the fiction that cbs news would remain relatively objective under her leadership was a *lot* more important — to the admin, to cbs news, to david ellison and to bari weiss — than killing this story was, and it’s incredibly funny she didn’t know that

Men who had been sent there risked their lives to tell their stories, and they’ve been silenced by the regime.
