Imagine telling someone in the 1970s that the NYT and WaPo are bending the knee to fascists while Glamour and Teen Vogue are the journalistic champions of human rights and democracy.

Nine biological men being declared 'Women of the Year' by Glamour magazine is beyond parody even by ludicrous woke virtue-signalling standards... and, I suspect, the beginning of the end for Glamour magazine.

The Mar a Lago bathroom/storage was so cheap looking and cheap. The Lincoln bathroom (saints preserve us) is ugly and cheap looking, but since he’s spending our money not cheap.

I mean, Lepore later (in 2021 or 2022) put her name on an open letter defending a fellow professor who’d been accused of sexual assault, so I feel like anything she had to say about “public shaming stuff” and implied censorship on college campuses is a load of BS.

“A transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers” is, quite literally, the EXACT phenomenon that Hannah Arendt was referring to when she coined the phrase “the banality of evil.”

dell cameron @dell.bsky.social · 1d

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”
