This is so deeply horrifying.
It’s also very clear that these camps deliberately withhold medical care both as a form of torture as well as a method to cause mass suffering that doesn’t have to be recorded as an active murder or injury.

Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam and his dad today at the Texas ICE facility.
He shared this photo on social media that shows Liam either sleeping or lying weakly in his father’s arms.

With historian Timothy Snyder as his guest, Lawrence O'Donnell just made the comparison of Trump's reign of terror to what Stalin and Hitler did. We need more cable news hosts tying historical tyranny to the terror currently being carried out by America's pedophile führer.

There are many rumors going around about a large operation targeting Haitians in Springfield whose TPS is going to be stripped from them next week; we do not know if they are true, but the community is preparing nonetheless.
Notably, expect court decisions ASAP in pending cases to save TPS.
