So what's happening with the warehouses now? Well, ICE is now trying to offload most of them "at a steep discount." In other words, ICE effectively set millions of dollars on fire for a complete boondoggle. Reporting courtesy @projectsaltbox.com. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/ice-puts-s...

ICE puts seven warehouses purchased for detention on the market

The properties were among 11 warehouses ICE bought for $1.07 billion to expand detention capacity. Seven are now being marketed for sale at a steep discount.

In addition to the utter disgust and fury I've been feeling towards the sorry excuses for men who raped that young woman at Cornell, she has me thinking of every woman in my life who has trusted me enough to share the story of her own rape. They all share something in common:

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Carrying That Weight—Again

I can’t stop thinking about the Cornell rape case

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Exactly. As he becomes more deranged and politically weaker, he will become more desperate and more dangerous.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

Never forget that for many of these tech billionaire creeps, "disrupt" has always just meant "break the fucking law."

“An astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and the “largest theft of labor in human history” is what a Microsoft executive privately said about GenAi as shown in newly unsealed court filings. And these court filings get worse. These execs knew all along the immense theft they committed.

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

I am so fucking tired of the daily ‘should trans people be allowed to exist’ argument. The vast majority of society dgaf about us until democrats and republicans alike decided to turn us into their niche culture war issue after people like Jesse Singal and JKR decided we needed to be eradicated.

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

Trump is not just the worst president, but the worst US citizen of my entire lifetime. A world historical failure of humanity and morality. He and his wicked entourage have burdened us with the task of repairing his damage and eradicating his evil legacy for the rest of our lives.

michael wolff’s hard drives should be seized by a guerrilla army of journalists who will actually write the fucking stories that need to be written instead of waiting for a personally advantageous moment to trickle them out

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Michael Wolff is revealing two “red flag” letters Harp sent Trump in full.

most people want to think of what they do as being a net positive for society, so when you've been working in a field that is widely acknowledged as such it can be very difficult to adapt when that vibe shifts... the Detroit executive class in the 70s-80s are a canonical example of this

This is part of my "minimum standards" requirement. None of this "the past is behind us, let's move forward" shit. More of the "this country will never do this again, and I'm going to make sure of it."
