In my book I tell story of grad student who was training as therapist at Oklahoma State University Psychological Resources Center, giving bargain-rate therapy to working-class locals.

Antifa exposed him as influential neo-Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally.

The school then let him graduate.

Just wild that a Bari Weiss, a supposed journalist, watched this segment and thought it should be kept from the public. Talk about the Streisand Effect. Everyone's scrounging the Internet to watch a bootlegged 60 Minutes segment that was censored by CBS. Seems like a historical pivot in slow motion.

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant

“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Just after I published this we started hearing a proposal to ban the phrase "globalize the intifada" in Australia. That phrase has not even a passing connection to this tragedy and this is instead a cynical attempt to use this violence to push an existing political goal. It won't keep Jews safe.
New from my newsletter: I pile through the responses to the recent antisemitic attack in Australia, all of which repeated the same policies that have failed to keep Jews safe and have been used to attack movements for justice. We need solidarity not police.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

A reminder that CBS is owned by Paramount.

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations.

The reporter called it a "political decision."

Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN.

Is that just a coincidence?

This looks like corruption.

The CBS 60 Minutes correspondent who did the CECOT report, Sharyn Alfonsi, has worked there since 2015. Reports include coverage of fraud after Hurricane Sandy, the Parkland High School shooting, the first photos from inside Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell in 2020, and the Boeing whistleblowers.

CBS, now under Bari Weiss's control, has pulled their 60 Minutes program "Inside CECOT" episode that was due to air, because "it needed more reporting." The 30-second show promo video has been pulled from YouTube and set to private so nobody can watch it.
It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.
