And more proof that People Magazine is doing less sane-washing and normalization of the Trump Administration than NYT or WaPo - here they are quoting @andreapitzer.bsky.social accurately calling “Alligator Alcatraz” a concentration camp

As girls we’re taught to cover our drinks, watch what we wear and not to walk alone at night.
We’re taught vigilance because men won’t hesitate to sexually assault us.
Now we have to fear our partners drugging us & raping us in our sleep.
Release the names of every man in the “rape academy”.

I'm trying to be as generous as possible, so I'm just going to say that traumatic brain injuries, suicidal ideation, major depressive disorder, & multiple strokes are a hell of a roller coaster ride for any person and his poor family - and maybe recovery should be done while NOT one of 100 Senators.
I've never been so glad that my 80-something year old parents in San Antonio are Neptune Society members and I don't have to deal with Dick Tips during my time of sorrow and mourning.
Nearly?
Underlying story - IRS/DOJ about to shovel $10 billion in taxpayer $ to "settle" bogus horseshit case Trump brought against fed gov.
MSM has yet to cover or grapple with this theft & assault on the judicial system.
One can only hope all DOJ attorneys involved are named, shamed, & disbarred
Blinking bat signal for state AGs to file and join in motions to intervene to stop this disgusting behavior by the US Department of Justice.
I'm a prisoners' rights attorney, and I have to confess (a) this thread made me laugh, and (b) I can hear so many of my beloved incarcerated clients saying "da fuq?!" to all of this (followed by, "wait, whut, you wore a bear suit to do what?").
Exactly one year ago today:
Congratulations Shannon on this well-deserved honor! But no fur babies in your photo?! 😊❤️
As a result of our lawsuit, guards at "Alligator Alcatraz" are required to allow people detained at the facility to call their lawyers, in accordance with the Constitution.
Yet when our clients asserted their right to access phones, guards brutally beat them. ICE must be held accountable.
Your April 15 reminder that taxpayers' money is being spent on these crimes against humanity.
Reminder # 2 of the day: "Alligator Alcatraz" is still open. The Eleventh Circuit stayed the S.D. Florida judge's order to shut it down for failure to abide by environmental laws.
The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys.
Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.
From @theguardian.com: An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year to marry her 1950s American sweetheart is being held in a crowded ICE detention camp in Louisiana after she was arrested by ICE agents and cuffed by her hands and feet. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
Officials at “Alligator Alcatraz” are defying a court order and the Constitution. We’re fighting back.

A 70% reduction in teen pregnancy over the past 25 years is a "problem" according to FOX News?!
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.
🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody.
@kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.
Well this really makes me want to bike or drive rather than get on a plane anywhere in the United States
My chocolate Lab (RIP) would have needed no special training to find 50 pounds of raw poultry smuggled in a suitcase.
Also: I have sooooo many questions about this smuggling….
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.
