1/4 At ICE’s Krome Detention Camp in Florida, Cuban immigrants formed a human "SOS" on the patio—desperate to alert the world. The facility is nearly 200% over capacity. Built for 600, it now holds 1,700. People sleep on floors, eat only a cup of rice a day, and go without medical care.

And some say women are too emotional for positions of leadership 🙄

If we're going to ban green holders from owning land, are we going to ban non-citizens from owning property full stop? Asking for all the kleptocrats jacking up real estate costs across this country.

I want to say a few words about my arbitration case against Twitter, because I really care about labor rights, and I am sad that people think companies can or perhaps should be allowed to do whatever they want. 🧵 1/

We won. That's it. That's the Tweet. Fuck Elon.

Facts. 💯

There needs to be a spreading hands emoji for posts like this. This is so well said.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

something to be said about how these people view americans as inputs to be used up by capital

The people: we want lower drug prices. Trump: if we raise prices for other countries our prices won't seem so bad. Art of the deal.

Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

This story is haunting me. Why is ICE over 900 miles from the border? Why are they operating without uniforms or badges? How do we know that these aren't just deputized Proud Boys or other MAGA militia? Where's the oversight? The accountability. I fear we have crossed the Rubicon with this one.

What the eugenicists don't understand is that if they get their wish, we become the walking dead, and they become the desperate survivors. There is no winning. We never stop coming for them. They live in fear forever.
