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.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Only 4 days until the GA-14 special election to fill MTG’s seat! With 20 Republicans splitting the field, @shawnforgeorgia.bsky.social
is the lone Democrat ready to win and check Trump’s rampage against our democracy. Let’s get it done. πŸ—³οΈπŸ‘

My kids have measles, there are no jobs, and the country is at war. But at least now I can buy raw milk with my HSA card.

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Someone said Democrats would probably refuse to hold military leaders accountable for their actions in this war after this administration ends but I look back at the atrocities from Iraq/Afghanistan that were prosecuted and say we can do it again. We can do more.

Google’s sneaky trick to sidestep an Iowa county’s data center zoning rules Just convince a nearby city to annex the land.

Whatever happened to that whole "don't be evil" thing?

Jobs are down, gas prices are up, wages are depressed, and we’re in the middle of another illegal war. Trump is just like every other Republican president.

Look, on the one hand, there’s a wildly illegal war going on & we’re murdering people on the high seas & it should immediately end this presidency. But on the other hand, now we’re really facing the β€œstagflation” that never existed but we pretended to be obsessed with when Joe Biden was president.

How does recent growth compare to recent years?

Economy added just 0.16 million jobs over 12 months to Feb 2026.

Job growth stopped.

Trump's economy lost 92,000 jobs in the month of February.

The unemployment rate has also risen to 4.4%.

Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.

πŸ“ŒNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

This is your economy on Democrats. This is your economy on Republicans. Any questions?

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany RodrΓ­guez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

RodrΓ­guez, who was in the car with her husband β€” a U.S. citizen β€” has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, RodrΓ­guez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. β€œMove fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him.

6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says β€œsome people will die.”

No. Peter Thiel cannot be allowed to annex the National Science Foundation via this Palantir proxy.

It would be like putting a pyromaniac in charge of the Library of Alexandria: destruction of a global treasure with no "undo" button.

This is a "to the barricades" moment.
