look, now that we’ve shaken off the woke and we’re all smoking again, we can just replace all those “lattes” and “cappuccinos” with American-burnt ash dissolved in American-boiled water.

Link Preview: Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On: The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers.

literally detained by and at the mercy of a fascist administration, Khalil dictates a defiant public statement. meanwhile many of the wealthiest and most comfortable people in the world race to surrender their purported principles and say “thank you, sir”, as Trump aptly put it.

does anybody else find a prison no one is ever released from just prima facie suss? no release, no contact with family, no evidence any given detainee is still alive. no one to describe what goes on.

if they want to onshore manufacturing and remain remotely cost-competitive, you'd think they'd be promoting their new guest worker programs rather than turning the US into an arbitrary detention and perhaps permanent rendition hellhole for our most inexpensive labor pool.
