Every country that has built camps—processing or otherwise—and empowered private paramilitary groups ended up committing atrocities. Moreover, once the mass deportation is finished, those paramilitary groups will not be disbanded. They’ll be used to go after the opposition, & other US citizens.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

Politico reports this morning that Erik Prince, the war profiteer behind Blackwater, the PMC which engaged in extensive human rights violations in Iraq, is part of a group of military contractors that is asking the Trump White House to get in on the deportation game. The blood chills at the thought.

Some 2400 years ago, the ancient Romans levied the aes uxorium on the unmarried, a tax to discourage childlessness. Today you might ask whether a family size Kinder Surprise deal doesn't operate as much the same towards those desiring a single egg. But the supermarket manager is usually uninterested

i really chafe at the idea that 'wokeness' just means 'empathy' in almost the exact same way i dislike the popular sentiment that reading makes you a more empathetic person. end of day it feels like bending the concept of empathy around to compliment yourself for traits you already believe you have!

Half an hour or so if they forced a vote = 172.5 hrs. On a typical day in session, ~5 hrs. from call to order to adjournment. So that's ~35 regular Senate days that could have been burned just on denying UCs, without anything else. For context, there have only been 29 such days so far this Congress.

This thing where the media seems incapable of calling obvious nazi salutes "nazi salutes" reminds of the theory about nuclear weapons, arguing that because they are so terrifying, their use stopped being a imaginable option and thus part of their deterrent effect got lost. 1/

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
