HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

JFC. Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.

As of this afternoon, ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for conversion into detention camps. 11 sales have been canceled. ICE has spent $1.04 billion on warehouse acquisitions. It will cost the government an estimated $7.57 billion to operate all 11 warehouses per year.

Reposting this 🧵 because it’s clear that if one sale is canceled or denied, ICE will pivot and search for an alternative. Keep vigilant.

ICE is using a Navy war-fighting contract (WEXMAC TITUS) to turn warehouses into detention sites in the US. They're using mil procurement to skip transparency & local safety laws. Call your Reps and demand: 1. Why is ICE using WEXMAC TITUS? 2. Where is the oversight? 3. What are you going to do?

Just FYI — we had a TikTok account for about three hours today to share video content. It was banned just a few minutes ago. The last thing we posted before the ban was an explainer of today’s article about GEO Group getting on to WEXMAC TITUS.

Thanks to documents released by N.H. Gov Ayotte and reported by Boston Globe, we get a better understanding of how ICE is planning on scaling its detention centers using its new warehouses. We also caught a bit of interesting coordination between USCIS and ICE in the metadata >>>

While private prison operators like GEO Group and CoreCivic remain the most visible beneficiaries of ICE detention expansion, dozens of disaster relief companies have also signed on to profit from the mass detention of our neighbors. 1/2

A great article on efforts to resist warehouse sales in rural America. Watch their substack for future nationwide Zoom meetings to discuss what is working and what you can do to resist the expansion of these detention processing centers.

UPDATE: A whistleblower's allegations of abuse at the Baltimore ICE facility have sparked a sustained protest movement outside the Fallon Federal Building. This week, a group of concerned community members are organizing strategically-timed weekday pickets. open.substack.com/pub/projects...

If you’re asking “What can I do with this information,” here’s the answer. Write the Lancaster village council and demand answers. Attend meetings as often as possible. Submit FOIL requests for contract records between ICE and the village. Build and join coalitions in and around Lancaster.

Thank you to @maddow.bsky.social for giving me the time of day last night. Thank you also to the THOUSANDS of folks interested in using our data for good. There's one other way you can help us, and it's by not giving us your money.

And don’t donate to us please! We like it when money goes to people who can use it most. We recommend asyleewomen.org

If this is connected to what I think it is, this the trail of breadcrumbs that brought PSB together. The government asked to lease roughly 35 properties that met law enforcement specs in cities all over the US. The wording looked like ICE, but we couldn’t prove it. (1/2)

ICE is buying warehouses and leasing spaces across the country. This site is tracking and reporting on these activities. ‼️This is another step in Hitler’s playbook‼️ projectsaltbox.substack.com

“That’s it, clear the room,” John F. Barr, the commission president, said immediately after the vote. “Off air, off air.”

So now the Office of Legal Counsel is relying on the word of a President who was caught lying over 30,000 times in his first term.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Maybe I was lucky as a kid, but my English teacher had us read books about the inhumanity of cruel manual labor conditions (I.E. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair”) Or farming during the Great Depression (The Grapes of Wrath”. ) Theres an ahistorical danger in romanticizing body-crushing labor.

We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.

“I exercise my right to remain silent. I would like to speak with an attorney.” Then STFU.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data. Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling. Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force." Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.
