I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

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

“um ackshully it’s required to be within 95% the same as the brand name” but IS it?
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.

A new scoop for The Reengineer!

The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

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
the shitstorm that’s already brewing because of Bari’s decision to spike this story is going to end up being vastly more damaging to her and to the admin than allowing the story to air would have been

she’s an evil propagandist hack but she is also very bad at doing it in a way that isn’t hamfisted

I’ve never run across a bear while hiking and had it get visibly mad about my decision to avoid it and follow me like “Hey what’s your problem? Something against bears? Stuck-up bitch”, the bear is always just as relieved to see me go as I am.

Bari Weiss & CBS pulled the plug on 60 Minutes CECOT special just hours before it was scheduled to air.

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

This article by The Guardian shines light on the torture & abuse they suffered:
Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador endured systematic torture, report finds
Human rights groups accuse Trump officials of complicity and draw comparison with scandal at Abu Ghraib prison

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
