ICE said he killed himself and that was just a blatant lie.

We have no idea how many people are being murdered in these concentration camps.
A Cuban detainee’s death at an El Paso federal immigration detention center was ruled a homicide Wednesday, with the medical examiner finding he was suffocated while restrained, contradicting immigration officials’ claim that he died by suicide.

We need studies now for the news media to correctly report that companies will pass increases in costs to customers, rather than just eating them and reducing profits.
“Foreign exporters absorbed only 4% of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.

“Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans.”

This is Bari Weiss. She kills finished 60 minutes segment on documented abuse in Trump's El Salvadoran prison, but runs a story that clearly says CBS is completely unable to confirm. Why? One serves the Trump Regime, and one does not. CBS is worthless trash. So is Bari Weiss.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.
Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

Minneapolis city council member says POC should stay home:
Dear neighbor,

HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.

Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

look at these responses for yourself and see that few people can even be bothered to even respond (one investor rep seemed confused about whether they had actually invested?). they are banking on everyone moving on. cowardice as a crisis comms strategy.

In Minneapolis this afternoon—

Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota.

It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

Not to mention the news headlines will help them too by using vague phrasing indicating they can’t tell either while burying the truth in the last para
Vance and DHS don't care that you can watch the video. They're confident they can lie about what the video shows, and their target audience will buy it.

A post-truth movement. Doesn't ask "what does the evidence show?," asks "what words help my team?"

Worked with Jan. 6, the "Twitter Files," more.
Do Vance and DHS think we can't actually watch the video?

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops?

Whatever happened to that guy?

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.

I have a lot of issues with Bernie and how he ran his campaign. But he’s best at stuff like this - just saying things the people are feeling. Not going along to get along.

We need our elected people to speak up for us, loudly and incisively.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
