Hey. You know how the kid punching the I Love Ice boy and the woman setting fire to a potential concentration camp felt good and right?

That’s your worldview starting to change in a very necessary way. Sit with it. Be gentle with yourself and sit with it. We’re going somewhere.

"The bipartisan nature of the rot is the part people most struggle to accept. This was never about one party. It was about a class — a transnational network of extreme wealth, access, influence, intelligence, and leverage operating above the law, across administrations, around the world..."

Frost: We just can't trust them to investigate themselves because they've shown us time and time and again that they're not interested in justice and they're interested in covering their own asses from the Epstein investigation to ICE and DHS

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

I thought it was sort of laudatory, too. Especially after I informed her that sociology came first and she shrugged and said “nosy older sibling tracks.”

As a sociologist, I kind of like that description. 😁
My 12 year old just informed me that she thinks of sociology as political science’s nosy sister.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
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...

I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...
