The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

“St Marks is Dead” is great look into a microcosm in NY which rippled outward.

But boy oh boy, that SF camp of homeowners *really* like to act as the benevolent dictators of the polity. They are a special breed given how much wealth it takes to own property there.

I think that notion can be applied to most any ‘progressive’ camp in local politics across the US, even in ‘progressive’ cities

And it’s mostly due to age demographics. Most folks that bought houses between the Savings & Loan and ‘08 Housing Crises are belligerently ignorant of affordability issues

Why is *anyone* arguing over his class? The guy is an effing notsee and all arguing should stop there.

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

What Can I Teach? Will Martin Luther King’s Work Be Censored Next? I’ve taught “Letter From Birmingham Jail” more than 100 times and have never questioned whether I’d be violating university policy. Now I am.

“I’m a political science professor at Texas A&M San Antonio. I’ve taught ‘Letter From Birmingham Jail’ more than 100 times and have never questioned whether I’d be violating university policy. Now I am, and it’s a disservice to students.”

▶️A California woman who was freed from prison by a Trump commutation in 2021 & was then convicted in an unrelated case in 2024.

Donald Trump in his inauguration address a year ago:
"The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end…Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents."

NEW: Trump pardoned a porta-potty magnate named Arie Eric De Jong III who was sentenced to 5 months in federal prison for illegally disposing of sludge in cities across southern California.

Chicago Teachers Union leaders question timing of second federal inquiry into finances

The powerful Chicago Teachers Union that regularly slams the Trump administration received word on Thursday that its finances are being investigated by a federal agency on top of an already announced inquiry by a Republican-led U.S. House committee.

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights.

I’ve seen a million media stories about how sad Republican voters in CA are about losing their Republican representatives.

But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one talking about Demoratic voters in Texas, or North Carolina, or Missouri losing their representatives.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Or a grain silo.

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

Not it’s not.

This isn’t a sign of his demise. They’re not turncoats, they are opportunists.

They will say whatever it takes to stay relevant and squeeze whatever ounce of power they can out of their current place of negotiating power.
