We just got back from Delaney Hall and we can confirm that Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo died on Saturday while in ICE’s custody. More on what we heard today at Delaney:
Camp East Montana is known as a "graveyard for living people" where at least three people have died. Our recent litigation shows its horrors — medical neglect, beatings, minimal sunlight, filthy conditions, inedible food, and more. If ICE won't do anything about it, we'll keep seeing them in court.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3mo agoQ: Did you talk to Xi about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States? TRUMP: I did. And he talked about attacks we did in China. You know, what they do, we do too. We spy like hell on them too. I told him, 'we do a lot of stuff to you that that you don't know about.'
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not
Personally I’m glad the demented old dope continues to blather on about his chintzy ballroom. Rub that greed and disconnect in everyone’s faces until even the dimmest MAGA bulb gets it.
Another attack on satire, this time by Melania Trump. And note that this is another example of trying to silence speech through control of the news media.

Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter
Threatening war crimes is in itself a war crime. That threshold has already been crossed. And there is no statute of limitations on war crimes.
This is insane. We’re living in crazy world.
