people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god
"Niles, we're lost. That's the fourth time we've passed by the pile of frankly rather tasteless sheraton armchairs."
"Yes, the style clashes with the yellow wallpaper and endless billowing void. Then again, feng shui might fail to accommodate an open floor plan this... er, OPEN"

Scoop confirmed — Trump admin moving to buy up some privately run ICE facilities from GEO Group/CoreCivic
Tom Homan on Fox last night confirmed what senior administration officials have told me since March: ICE is looking to buy up privately owned immigrant detention sites in order to get around having to comply with local/state regulations and have control over the property amid protests/riots.

“A button on the app gives users the option to ‘text President Trump,’ which, when clicked, opens a text message draft on the user’s phone made out to a pre-selected number with the default text ‘Greatest President Ever!’”
One of the sleazier media tropes is when the US menaces a much smaller country that’s done nothing to the US and it’s framed as “heightened tensions” between the two countries. Cuba is being unilaterally starved and threatened by the US. That’s not “tensions,” it’s US aggression.
@HeerJeet@loomdoop Kagi is fantastic, and actually their translator is really really good too. I don’t use any other search engine now, especially for research. Really nice being able to downrank sites I know won’t be helpful to me.
