rbreich.bsky.socialThe United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave.

joshtpm.bsky.socialThere were a lot of folks here insisting yesterday that weather service cuts had no impact on Texas flood deaths. There’s zero way you can draw conclusions like hours later. Important follow up here.

atrupar.comNew in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

jfallows.bsky.socialYes. For the past couple of years I've been saying that the pious John Roberts is the Roger Taney of our day. I realize now that is unfair to the memory of Roger ("Dred Scott") Taney.

joncooper-us.bsky.socialDon’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.
Andrea Pitzer
andreapitzer.bsky.socialI wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

50501movement.bsky.socialPeople in Alligator Auschwitz describe the inhumane conditions in the concentration camp—insufficient water, scarce and unsanitary food, lack of medicine, denial of religious rights, etc. “They're not respecting our human rights. We're human beings—we're not dogs. We're like rats in an experiment."

rotterdamvvg.bsky.socialReports begin to emerge regarding the inhumane conditions under which people are being detained at the Florida Everglades concentration camp. • One meal per day • No showers • Maggot-infested food • Lights on 24/7 These are known torture tactics. Many detainees are legal residents. #OnYourSide
