“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”
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.

Don't be fooled by different names—all these voter suppression bills have the same goal: block millions of eligible Americans from voting.

It's a coordinated attack on our democracy while they ignore real problems.

ICE had the worst of the worst after all. Not in custody, but on payroll.
Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Nils Lofgren and his music are woven through the sound track of our lives for the last several decades. This song, “No Kings, No Hate, No Fear” is truly a street anthem for Freedom’s gladiators. I have goose bumps.

This administration is a criminal administration.
Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?"

ICE Director Lyons: "Yes."

Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

I think all Democratic governors should have a dinner to discuss the real future of the United States. He's just going to spit a bunch of lies at his dinner. But we're going to need all the help we can get if we are going to win back the majority in November.

Every state should be putting safeguards in place NOW!
This is a great list to get in place before the midterms that we all know they are actively trying to manipulate already.

Every vote is a voice. Don’t ever let them take your voice away. Call your state’s representatives today!

NBA, NFL, MLB, & NHL players make around 50% of total league revenues. WNBA players make 9%. Their demand for 30%, still a bargain, has been rebuffed by owners, who offered 15%.
As Harold Meyerson writes, sports unions have always struggled for a fair share of the enormous profits they generate.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023.

He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours.

They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds.

Without them, he will lose the organ.

This is how people die.
