EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses.
For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view.

“From the internment of Japanese Americans to the mass detention of Jewish people across Europe, to the confinement of kidnapped Africans aboard ships during the transatlantic slave trade, history offers stark warnings on targeting entire populations for confinement.”
“The design and intent of these facilities are unmistakable. The floorplans resemble industrial storage operations more than humane environments: rows of bunk beds under constant surveillance, minimal access to outdoor space, and little to no access to lawyers or immigration courts.”
ICE is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to buy and convert warehouses into immigrant detention camps, endangering our neighbors and loved ones by putting them in an already deadly system.
Communities across the country are pushing back and successfully stopping these plans in their cities.

I keep saying this but the 90s were also the era in kid culture in which we watched diverse groups of kids from around the world could come together, learn things, and save the world from climate destruction, corporate greed, and intergalactic colonizer aliens.
good thread 🧵 read it
in a lot of ways, I do see the 90s as the absolute apotheosis of the white hegemonic empire that is America. it's as far as you can really take that idea. 9/11 accelerated it, but it was always gonna turn on itself and start eating itself alive.

King Charles’ choice to ignore the Epstein survivors underscores that he punished his brother Andrew, not for victimizing such survivors, but for victimizing Charles by allowing Andrew's behavior to be made public. Such a dreadful inconvenience for the royal family!
