I will never forget waking up at 3am every morning as they turned the floodlights on outside to place more bodies into the mobile morgue outside my window. Everyone’s beloved dead, stacked nightly like so much excess, while the waking city was a claustrophobic nightmare. Never.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

NEW FROM ME: "As Bloomberg says, DHS *wants* to create its own deportation airline. But we’ve known that since last year. What the new documents actually show is that they’ve failed. No one wants be an ICE pilot or an ICE flight attendant." gillianbrockell.com/whats-missin...

What’s missing from Bloomberg’s story about the DHS ‘deportation’ fleet

Uh, Dana, allow me to introduce you to former President Theodore Roosevelt (who served from 1901 to 1909), who wrote this in a newspaper editorial published in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918, during World War I, sharply criticizing then-President Woodrow Wilson’s conduct of that war.

A graphic showing a close-up black and white photograph of President Theodore Roosevelt's head, to the left of which is this quote of his: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt
