Strong read on the logistics of concentration camps & what actually rolling one out entails
and what we can expect of DHS's mass purchase of warehouses to hold thousands of people each.
and what we can expect of DHS's mass purchase of warehouses to hold thousands of people each.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

Olympics is the perfect time to obsess over this brilliant idea some more.
there was a post going around awhile ago re. what a women’s sports version of “Heated Rivalry” might look like which enforces oppressive norms of femininity the way the men in Rachel Reid’s books feel trapped by oppressive norms of masculinity, and I have been thinking about this nonstop ever since

I think what bothers me most about those AI-generated caricatures is that they reveal what the user's been inputting into their LLM of choice- job information, personal history, etc. That's so much PII getting sucked up by Big Data...!

I think there's some of these kicking around my parents' house
One of the more memorable aspects of Team Cheerios (and General Mills cereals across the board) during their Olympics promotions in 1996 and 1998 was the in-box giveaway, these sweet shiny plastic Olympic coins! I still have mine (pictured here) from Nagano '98!

This was written by Irving Berlin in 1941. Today, Berlin is probably best known for writing "White Christmas." Some art is just timeless.

“Haven’t we all met terrible people” yeah sure but we haven’t associated with them for years after finding out how terrible they were and then lied about it until the DOJ releases a stack of PDFs.

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

...or to me, the more obvious interpretation that it's all xenophobia, not wanting to allow laborers to establish permanent residency because of the fear they won't/can't assimilate, rinse and repeat over the last 150 years.

I don't have railroaders but do have other enterprising folks who came in with the merchant exception (and at least one paper son so the people who say, "I just want illegals out" absolutely would've kicked out my ancestor(s)).
This could be interpreted as pulling up by bootstraps in hard times...

Re: last reskeet- learning my own family history is what radicalized me, because I don't think the general US population is aware of the Chinese being the first group that US immigration laws were made against, and that I exist as a 4th gen *in spite* of that legislation.

There has NEVER BEEN AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY.
There has been a racist, nationalist fear-mongering problem in this country.
There has been an immigrant worker exploitation problem.
But there has never been an "immigration problem."

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

any politician (especially Dem) that calls for better training or body cams for ICE is unfit for office. years ago we were saying Defund was a compromised position to Abolish and were called too radical. and this is where it’s gotten us. ICE is funded higher than most militaries in most countries.
