At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Is it the companies or the guys that have amassed the billions? Name a good guy among any of these guys. All abusers in one form or another:
Thiel, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, Gates, Sam Altman, Xavier Niel, and Robert Miller (why haven't we ever heard about this guy's crimes?)

This was something...wonder the response?

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Yeah this will work out.

Yeah, you need to hate Artie instead.

Such had been the case for a long time.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order by the Secretary of State, the nation's top DIPLOMAT, and by the National Security Advisor. It does not help the military to kill US diplomacy. 14/

The United States Could Lose the Gulf Iran’s attacks on its neighbors are a reminder that the United States cannot protect them.

Here, none of that. @abuaardvark.bsky.social describes the shock in the Gulf at the US inability to protect countries to which it had made security promises, if not treaty commitments. One may think the US should not be in the Gulf, but this is chaos. 8/

White House wages online propaganda campaign with aggressive and tasteless videos seemingly designed for young rightwing American men.

This is sick. And useless.

This was fascinating. Add in the lack of intelligence and criminality in the current regime to this kind of mindset-scary.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social is here among us.

My choice as well.

This is such a good film.

Another reason we can cut LeBron.

Yes. Because Trump's rationale is extremely pathological, (also Hegseth), and they dumped numerous admirals and generals (DEI), Bush looks like a Mensa.

I just found this song and artist after starting with Al Green and Take me to the River.
Heart wrenching.

Which game? I was pleasantly surprised by the not too obnoxious announcers on USA vs Brasil on Big Fox. Actually decent. Also Dodgers good, as expected.

The World (Is Going Up in Flames)

The world is going up in flames, and no one wants to take the blame.

Don't tell me how to live my life, when you never felt the pain.

I can't turn my head away.
Seeing all these things.

I truly believe the #WBC should get the #NobelPeacePrize!

The Kingdom of #Netherlands team speaks 4 languages: Papiamento -- an Afro-Portuguese Creole language, English, Spanish and Dutch.
Team #Brasil speaks Portuguese,
Spanish, English, and often Japanese.

We’ve got to spread baseball to more countries. I want to see Transylvania vs. Mongolia in the next WBC.

Love it

I love that the two strongest factors in Brazil having a competent baseball team are:
1. The Japanese-Brazilian community
2. The children of MLB players and their Brazilian wives

I'm loving how this Brasil team stayed in the game against wildly bigger "stars".
