BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Happy Birthday, Natasha!
Hey, skyfriends! Please help me wish this amazing woman Happy Birthday!! She provides such a fabulous service to those of us living with #bipolardisorder and to others who want to learn about it. Thank you @natasha-tracy.bsky.social!! #birthday #mentalhealth
It’s my birthday. I’ve made it 48 years on this planet—most of them living with a brain illness that tries to kill me. That’s no small thing.
Today, I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s helped me keep going, and made life worth living. You’re the reason 47 turned into 48.
#thankyou

It's not symbolic, it's intent. The Holocaust targeted Jews by design: it was planned, administered, and carried out with a level of coordination and scale unmatched in history.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

There are entire new cohorts of Americans, discovering in horror what the Black Americans always knew, feom their firsthand experiences…
This interview with James Baldwin was aired in the 1960s… and is so painfully valid today - on the day of ICE murdering another American.

For those who read Maggie O'Farrell's #Hamnet and have seen the movie adaptation, do you recommend the film? I loved the novel so much I don't know if I want to see the movie.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.
