This is "everyone is 12" but for history. You cannot say one field of history is more important than another and be an adult. That's a child's logic, and ignorant children should be taught but not listened to as experts. It is too bad this is an adult man, but still, he's 12.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.

This thread, and the leaked CBS documentary, puts Bari Weiss's post-hoc excuses to the lie. It's a thoroughly researched piece on CECOT atrocities, with on-screen interviews of the torture victims, statements from the administration, and footage from inside the concentration camp.
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

During the Turkey Trot yesterday the topic of making Thanksgiving themed tutus came up and I caught myself before I said “we could go to JoAnns.” This video had the best timing. And I have a year to figure out where to buy the tulle.
