NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:

Massachusetts.

Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...
Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts
As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

And five 737s from Avelo.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 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.

This is devestating.
In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The recent emergence of the phrase McClellan Democrats warms my bitter, nerdy heart.
Good. We’d be in better shape today if we remembered McClellan more. His early savior image, his narrow ability, his towering self-regard, his disgust for his own strongest supporters, his misreadings of enemy strength, his unwillingness to fight. In him we could more clearly see our own leaders.

These freaks are all, Republican and Democrat both, convinced that there's a huge pool of voters out there eager to die in agony in order to fuck over trans people.

That despite very clear evidence this does not actually win elections, every campaign has to chase this bigot block.

Dem leadership literally looked at Mamdani's landslide victory, despite their ratfucking, and then *continued* to appeal to people more willing to die in pain than see a trans person alive.

During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.

One of the reasons the Republicans are pushing so hard to kill ACA *while* making half of all their attacks on it focused on trans people, is that they're convinced the average American hates healthy trans kids more than they love their own sick cis kids.

Starmer is an electoral liability. Likely successors taking soundings in Westminster.

The next leader must not come from the Starmer camp.

abolishing ICE is not enough its members need to be prosecuted
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

-There's worms & mold in food

-300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows
