Detainees, often with no criminal record, were subjected to what is unambiguously torture at Ron DeSantis' so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida. There need to be criminal prosecutions
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Worth noting just how impressive it is that public opinion has so steadily turned against Israel in the United States considering the fact that news like this basically does not get covered in any of the legacy media publications.
🔴 Top Israeli Ministers Proudly Adorn a Global Symbol of Racial Terror

Israeli Nat'l Security Min. Itamar Ben-Gvir & allies were photographed wearing gold noose pins in public to signal support for executing Palestinian detainees. Also visible in the image is Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu...

Easy to be so glib about doing something you know the department will get sued over when it will just come from dc tax payers and never touch your pension
NEW— DC Metropolitan Police just shared a tiny bit more body cam footage from the March US Institute of Peace raid in response to my FOIA lawsuit w/ @rcfp.org

One clip shows USIP President George Moose being escorted out.

Moose: You know we're gonna see you all in court.
MPD: Yea we figured that.

Didn’t get a picture but saw an anti ice protest just on the side of the road this random Wednesday in Honolulu, about 8 ranging from a guy in his 20s to a woman about 70? Also had someone in one of those inflatable dinosaurs

It is actually pretty impressive how the worst elected Dem is still better than the best elected R.

Like, can I actually think of any currently elected Rs that Fetterman is worse than? I don't know that I can!

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

for the record, it is extremely fucked up how much we reasonably fear reprisals against civilian populations if anyone harms the armies of criminals occupying our cities

And, like, while that quote can maybe be defended as stumbling while trying to walk a balanced line, if parsed carefully

RTing Ryan Grim's red-brown dreams is a lot less defensible

Holidays are coming up, a perfect time to remind your MAGA family members that Epstein is only part of the story, Trump has been importing foreign sex traffickers and giving them special protection.

Then ask, "so did Trump bring the Tate brothers here as a replacement for Epstein's services?"

Journalists will only defend each other when it comes to one of their own facing scrutiny for mundane things like unethical sexual conduct
…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

i think that it is critically important to retaliate.
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Im honestly surprised she even knew the dsa was a full fledged organization and not just candidates self iding as socialist

this really clicked something in my brain about how, for lack of a better term autistic, the centrist strategy is. Its aping the most charismatic politicians of all time, without an understanding the part of human communication that matters for the "make them trust you" step
Any triangulation requires you to have the ability to lie to every single interest group at the same time (making wildly contradictory claims) and make them believe that you're telling the truth to only them.

This requires a level of charisma that zero elected centrists have.

being TEMPORARILY banned from blue sky dot app is not being disappeared, its psychotic to using this phrasing while people living in america are genuinely being disappeared, taken from their families and sent to countries foreign prisons
BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.
