The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American

An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

Excerpt: "A once sleepy rural town named Social Circle, Ga. — just over 40 miles east of Atlanta off Interstate 20 — has become the epicenter of the stealthy plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( #ICE) to rapidly create an American gulag archipelago of massive former warehouses adapted into detainment camps for arrested #immigrants.

"The plan to convert a newly built 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse into a #ConcentrationCamp where as many as 8,500 humans — double the size of the current largest federal prison — would be housed for as long as 60 days (or likely more) has riled up both residents and public officials in a place where 75% voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

"The frustrated city manager of Social Circle, which was offered no input as a cash-flush ICE recently bought the spec warehouse for a whopping $128 million, told the Guardian that he’s denying the feds’ request to turn on the public water as they race to open their #DetentionCamp there as early as April."

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

#media #journalism #authoritarianism

"Polarization"

IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS.

NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS:

THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED.

YES, IT'S SO SAD.

BUT THE TERM "POLARIZATION" CAN BE A FORM OF BOTH-SIDESING THAT OBSCURES SPECIFICS.

ARMED EXTREMIST: I'M HERE TO STOP THE TRANSGENDERS FROM DESTROYING THE COUNTRY.

TRANSGENDER PERSON: I PREFER NOT TO DIE, AND SOMETIMES SHARE THIS OPINION!

WHEN A MOVEMENT BECOMES EXTREMIST, DO WE REALLY WANT TO SEE THE OPPOSITION AS PART OF THE PROBLEM?

MAN: ANYONE WHO HELPS A 10 YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM GET AN ABORTION SHOULD GO TO JAIL!

WOMAN: THAT'S BARBARIC AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIGHT IT.

POLARIZATION ALERT

WOULD THIS BE BETTER?

MAN IN MILITARY GEAR: YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, SUBHUMAN!

LATINO MAN: I WILL POLITELY ACQUIESCE!

HOW NICE! NO MORE POLARIZATION! — "Polarization" IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS. NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS: THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED. YES, IT'S SO SAD.

#Trump said he would soon speak to #UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres, without giving details.

"We are very closely working with the #UnitedNations. In fact, I'm going to speak to the secretary-general in a little while, he's a good man," he said.

#Trump said countries contributed >$7billion to relief efforts in #Gaza.

"I'm pleased to announce that #Kazakhstan, #Azerbaijan, #UAE, #Morocco, #Bahrain, #Qatar, #SaudiArabia, #Uzbekistan, & #Kuwait have all contributed more than $7 billion toward the relief package," Trump said.

"The #UnitedStates is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the #BoardOfPeace,” he said.

" #Norway has agreed to host an event, bringing together the #BoardOfPeace," #Trump said.

Thinking this board is going to be expensive dinners & blowhard BS speechifying.

He touted the support he's gotten from European leaders.

"So many of our friends in #Europe are attending today, & we're eager to have them become full members. They all want to become full members," Trump claimed, adding he's had a "great response" from Europe.

As of Wednesday morning, Colbert’s YouTube interview with #Talarico had been viewed more than five million times, or roughly double what the comic’s #CBS program draws each night. The Texas Democrat also reported that he had raised $2.5 million in campaign donations in the 24 hours after the interview.

Not only had #CBS been aware Monday night that #Colbert was going to talk about this issue publicly, its lawyers had even approved it in his script, he said. That’s why he was surprised by the statement, which said that Colbert had been provided “legal guidance” that broadcasting the interview could trigger the equal time rule.
“I don’t know what this is about,” Colbert said. “For the record, I’m not even mad. I really don’t want an adversarial relationship with the network. I’ve never had one.”

#StephenColbert then took a copy of the #CBS statement, wrapped it in a dog poop bag, & tossed it away.

#Colbert had instead shown his Talarico interview on YouTube, but told viewers why he couldn’t show it on CBS. The network was concerned about #FCC Chair #BrendanCarr trying to enforce a rule that required broadcasters to give “equal time” to opposing candidates when an interview was broadcast with one of them.

“We looked & we can’t find one example of this rule being enforced for any talk show interview, not only for my entire late-night career, but for anyone’s late-night career going back to the 1960s,” #StephenColbert said.

Although #BrendanCarr said in January he was thinking about getting rid of the exemption for late-night talk shows, he hadn’t done it yet. “But #CBS generously did it for him,” Colbert said.

#StephenColbert isn’t backing down in an extraordinary public dispute with his bosses at #CBS over what he can air on his late-night talk show.

On “The Late Show” Tuesday, Colbert said he was surprised by a statement from CBS denying that its lawyers told him he couldn’t show an interview with Democratic #Texas #Senate candidate #JamesTalarico — which the host said had happened the night before.
