Those held at CECOT were forced to sleep on cold metal benches (mattresses were brought in for photo ops) and given a single water bucket for washing and drinking. If anyone was seen washing themselves not at 4:00 AM, they were taken into a cell, tied to a chair, and beaten.

At CECOT, the detainees said, Venezuelans were held in cells of nine to 15 people with metal benches for beds — thin mattresses were brought in for photographs and then taken away — and water buckets for drinking and bathing. “It looked like a cage,” González said. On the first day, Blanco vomited and had no way to clean his shirt for several days, he said. Eventually the detainees said they were given soap and toothpaste, but not regularly. It was uncomfortably hot during the day, González said, and frigid at night. The cells reeked of urine and sewage, Blanco said. The detainees were awakened at 4 a.m. and given time to wash themselves, González said. If they were seen cleaning themselves with the bucket outside of showering hours, he said, they were taken to a dark cell for punishments, where they would be shackled to a chair and hit with a stick. Blanco recalled hearing the screams from down the hallway.

Somebody mentioned in a reply on here that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch looks like Bib Fortuna and I can’t remember who, but know that your statement has wormed its way into my head and taken up residence.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim.""Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

Rashid Johnson is an artist whose work is on display at Guggenheim. When I shared some photos on Instagram, someone replied that they disliked him because of his success as a Black artist focusing his work on race, identity, and racism who made “palatable” work for white donors and audiences

Do you have objects that haunt you? Things an ex bought you, or stuff you hold onto that brings back painful or complicated memories? What are they? Why? I’m writing about this this week and could use your help

Now I can run on passing executive orders that will allow JSOC to arrest and detain every American billionaire and seize their assets for redistribution

The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority just took away lower courts' single most powerful tool for reining in the Trump administration's lawless excesses, stripping them of authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

Lander is saying the most basic, correct things—“Do you have a judicial warrant? … I will let go when you show me a judicial warrant … you don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens. I am not obstructing”—and yet or maybe because of this he is detained, too.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.
