James Holzhauer, the "Jeopardy!" champion who won 32 straight games, earning a total of $2,462,216, has donated a portion of his winnings to a Chicago-area pancreatic cancer walk. And he did so in Alex Trebek's name. https://t.co/gZaFkcoXu2

But the detainees in these camps are all guilty, right? Well, no, but I would also submit that people can't be guilty if they've never been charged with a crime and have never stood trial. @AOC is right. We should all be deathly afraid of the proliferation of these camps.

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

The German American internment camps of the early 20th century, the Japanese American camps of the mid-20th century, and the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base at the turn of the new century--these are all examples of #ConcentrationCamps.

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

It may be uncomfortable for Americans to think about, but the fact is that not only do the camps on the US southern border fit the definition of #ConcentrationCamps, the U.S. has a well documented history of creating such spaces outside law.

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

When people hear about #ConcentrationCamps they think about the Nazis, but here's a bit of U.S. history (I'm looking at you @Liz_Cheney), many of the ghastly practices that found their way into Nazi concentration camps, were inspired by the US https://t.co/TJm55PBmdS

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

It gets worse though. Because detainees of #ConcentrationCamps are outside the formal legal system, they are vulnerable to a whole host of other abuses. The history of #ConcentrationCamps is a history of people experiencing abuse, from torture to experimentation to sterilization

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

And this is what makes #ConcentrationCamps so terrifying. Detainees have no Privilege of habeas corpus (i.e., to be charged or let go). They can be held indefinitely, unable to see their family & denied the psychological comfort of knowing when & if they will ever see them again

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

Follow me on this: The immigrants detained in concentration camps are intended to be OUTSIDE the formal legal system. Once removed from the #CriminalJusticeSystem the state is largely free to do whatever it wants. As Hannah Arendt might say, "everything is possible."

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

Why are they called concentration camps? well, to state the obvious, it's because large numbers of people are "concentrated" in camps. A better question is, why don't we just call them prisons? We don't say "prisons" because prisons are a part of the formal legal system.

[Lester Andrist @landrist]

I did my dissertation on #ConcentrationCamps, so I have a few thoughts about @AOC's use of the term to describe the build up of camps on the US southern border. For those in a hurry, here's the take-home message: By any reasonable definition, these are concentration camps

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Millennials aren't struggling because they're lazy or wasting their money on avocados. They face unprecedented economic challenges due to decades of policies to help corporations and the top 1% while leaving working people behind.

This is Kendrick Castillo, the lone fatality in the Colorado high school shooting. He leapt from his desk in a literature class and charged the two attackers, giving his life to buy his classmates time to escape.

He was 18-years-old.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

In 2017 the top 65 health care CEOs made $1.7 billion. The 25 highest-paid CEOs in the pharmaceutical industry made roughly $440 million.

It should be no surprise that health companies and their political groups will spend enormous sums of money to stop Medicare for All.

No. No, it's not.

When will CNN or FOX be reporting on the fact that the US provides military assistance to over 70% of dictatorships on Earth?

[UnacceptableTV @UnacceptableTV]

The stock market is a Ponzi scheme. Fake money. Distract circus act. Gaming.

[Lee Camp [Redacted] @LeeCamp]

Looking at the stock market to judge the economic health of our country is actually like looking at a dying man and judging his health based on how the leeches look.
