  • Judge Gettleman has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide three meals a day, adequate supplies of water, access to prescription medicine, clean bedding and space to sleep for any detainee held there overnight, with “adequate supplies of soap, towels, toilet paper, oral hygiene products (including toothbrushes and toothpaste) and menstrual products for women detainees.”

    Holding cells and toilets are to be cleaned, and detainees should have access to showers “at least every other day,” according to the order.

    If you have to order the waiter to bring you a soup the chef didn’t spit in you should probably just skip ahead to finding a different place to eat

















  • And what’s the point of that? NOTHING has changed,

    Not true, hundreds of individual people have been released orat leats had their deportations paused

    The onslaught of legal rejections has come in hundreds of individual cases, typically filed on an emergency basis after ICE’s targets are arrested at courthouses or check-ins with immigration officers. Though a handful of class action lawsuits have been filed seeking to block the administration’s expanded detention policy, they have advanced slowly and seem weeks — perhaps months — from resolution.

    Lots of terrible things are being done and any kind of justice is happening unacceptly slowly and arbitrarily, but saying “NOTHING” is happening isn’t true and makes things seem more hopeless than they are




















  • Yeah, this is super illegal and sketchy as all hell, the country’s military being beholden to some private oligarchs is some “end of the Roman empire” type of stupidly corrupt and destabilizing idiocy

    However (and I only noticed this after posting and kinda feel bad for being misled), this is also some stupid fascist theater that’s trying to make the administration and their dipshit oligarch friends look more powerful than they actually are

    The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

    They want us to despair and think that everything is all over and they’ve won everything forever, but in reality they’re morons who ruin everything they touch who have to keep doing terrifying performative fascist bullshit to keep their followers from noticing how stupid and incapable they are. Don’t get me wrong, that performative fascist bullshit hurts and kills people, but these scumbags do not have resources or the competence to hurt and kill all of us as much as they try to project that image.

    We all know they’re evil, but what we need to remind ourselves and constantly remind all of their supporters is that they are weak. The fascist mind cannot handle that.
