These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

So many horrible things are happening that it's easy for a single incident or a single night to get lost in the shuffle. When people talk about ICE having shot a man in the leg in Minneapolis, remember that this night of terror was the context in which that violence occurred.
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

The Democrats rely on criminals to tell the story of the crimes. Now that you've finally figured out Cohen, quit boosting the Parnas family -- a mafia family, the patriarch felon of which called Trump the messiah. They're not reformed. They're overtly corrupt and you're chumps for falling for it.

Oh you finally figured out that Michael Cohen is bad? What gave it away -- the lifelong mafia ties, the pedophile coverup, or the ceaseless grifting?
Everyone who boosted him should be ashamed. You went on his show for fame. You could have said no. I said no multiple times. But you have no ethics.

One reason many folks no longer trust corporate media is because corporate media promotes the same talking points that defend billionaires & corporations & tell Americans to ignore their own eyes, ignore their own experiences & ignore data.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.
SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.

When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you'll have a [laughs], you know, you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great."

Trump's initial reaction to the 2008 economic collapse was joy at his potential to profit."!
"Life is what you do while you're waiting to die," Trump, then a real estate tycoon filing for bankruptcy, told Playboy magazine in 1990. "You know, it is all a rather sad situation."
"Life?" the interviewer asked. "Or death?"
"Both. We're here and we live our 60, 70, or 80 years and we're gone.
You win, you win, and in the end, it doesn't mean a hell of a lot. But it is something to do—to keep you interested."!2
Mass death did not mean a lot to Trump, but it kept him interested, and it was a rather sad situation. Trump's lifelong penchant for annihilation set the tone of the administration. But it was put into action by more skillful bureaucrats, who saw in the chaos an opportunity for grift](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fbrpboqe5jxnjiqb7af2c7vz/bafkreiccrpvofha4bnhg54v25oyzs5tskxvyjqgr7rikuxq3ukje57ih3m@jpeg)

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.
