"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.

Certain grocery stores are now scanning every customers' face. Some Grocery Outlet stores are using facial recognition software from the company SAFR Guard to identify people on retail watchlists. As you enter these stores a sign reads "Face matching software being used to prevent shoplifting."

well, it needs some moisture otherwise it will crumble - books like this require a relative humidity (RH) of around 38% (between 30 and 50%). Light exposure and handling must be limited as well, but real talk, that book is their history and is more meaningful in the hands of the people.
