a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

Israel just bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. They previously bombed it in October 2023, killing hundreds of sheltering civilians. Afterwards Israel claimed it was a misfired Hamas rocket, despite all evidence to the contrary. The world let them get away with it and now they did it again.

I recall the Bruenigs calling for a tax on the elderly to pay for large nuclear families—and claiming that was somehow socialism. Of course they wanna collab with fascists.

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.

Florida officials are demanding that universities send lists of all research that faculty/staff have published or publicly shared in the last 6 years, even if it wasn't publicly funded. It's not clear what they'll do with the lists, but my bet is on nothing good. www.tampabay.com/news/educati...

One of the more popular "it's not fascism unless..." arguments has been "fascism rises as a response to a left threat." Of course, this has been empirically disproven. But it's always seemed stupid to think this meant the threat from the left had to exist outside the right's fevered imagination.

UPDATE: ICE has awarded a new contract worth up to $3.8 billion for the company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss — its largest contract yet. It's the first time ICE is moving ahead with plans to detain thousands of people arrested on U.S. military bases in tents before deportation.

It was already true before all of this, but the objectification of Salvadorians — people dehumanized into a thing through which disconnected experts can further show off their legal theories and editorial prowess — has somehow hit new heights.

Outrage that 75% of the Venezuelan men rendered to El Salvador have no criminal record implies approval that 25% of those Venezuelan men deserved to be rendered to El Salvador. Where do you draw the line? Is an illegal u-turn deportable behavior? Stealing a candy bar? Growing weed?
