These are warehouses for HUMAN BEINGS: windowless concrete concentration camps.

Stephen Miller wants the Land of the Free to be "The Land Where They Stash Humans They Don't Like In Warehouses and Bill The Taxpayer For It."

The final boss of capitalism is humans in warehouses. For profit.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 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.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.

Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

It's not just the decision to give public money and public data to a sworn enemy of everything we stand for, appalling though that is. It's also the secrecy and illegal shutting out of any competition. What does Palantir have on Streeting and Starmer - and did Mandelson give it to them?

In the wake of the BLM protest movement, rather than insist on any meaningful reforms, Biden diverted billions of dollars of Covid relief from two massive pork barrel bills to militarized police. The unbridled brutality stemming from those moves plays out in our police state every day, now:

I sent a request for comment to Justice Kavanaugh through the Supreme Court’s Public Information Office about the transcript out of Minnesota, highlighting Kira Kelley’s comment.

As with my prior requests at 50 and 100 days, I have heard nothing from the justice.

How much bias, zero objectivity Typical Polly Toynbee garbage again!

No It was Starmer's bad judgement
No Starmer is not "a decent man"
He has, and is now enabling and abetting a genocide
He has attacked the poorest in our society
He's a Zionist

Bullshit Polly

With three years left and a huge majority, Labour can govern with more humility and deliver real change. But with Starmer at the helm? I can’t see it, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

Every time people invent a new way to monitor cops, they immediately find that they're regularly breaking the law, violating people's rights, and basically being criminals.

Roughly 25% of voters identify as Dem. Roughly the same identify as GOP. That means the votes of 50% of voters are up for grabs, they don't identify with either dogshit party. Democrats would rather chase the votes of the other 25% than attempt to earn the votes of that 50%. That's stupid AF.
