Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

There are a lot of bright shiny things to chase every day with Donald Trump. The principle of a free press has to remain among our North Stars. Attacks on the press are an attack on democracy itself. Yesterday a judge stood up to Trump & ordered him to stop. joycevance.substack.com/p/trump-vers...

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

At DOJ, we used to call these “for profit prisons” and when BOP or a state used them, those inmates were still considered to be in the custody of that prison system for relevant legal purposes. There is no reason El Salvadoran terror prison should be any different.
And when are we going to start talking about the fact that the United States is paying El Salvador to use the prison!

Perhaps the news media and press should be reframing all these DEI stories as white supremacy stories. My guess is life would be a tad different.
