Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i... www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...
The DeSantis administration has not made public a list of names of the immigrants held at the facility in heavy duty tents at an airstrip in the Florida Everglades.
Individuals sent to the makeshift detention center do not show up in an
online government database that allows the public to search for immigrant detainees' whereabouts. Lawyers say they
have had difficulty locating clients sent to the site, often learning that they are there when detainees call family members.An enforced disappearance is considered to be the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law (Article 2 of the ICPED and Preamble of the Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance)
It is characterized by three cumulative elements (defined in A/HRC/16/48/Add.3):
1. Deprivation of liberty against the will of the person;
2. Involvement of government officials, at least by acquiescence;
3. Refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared
person.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care. It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

- OpenAl's former Chief Research Officer
All of these people are surely connected to fascist Peter Thiel, as Zuckerberg (Meta) and Altman (OpenAl) are his protégés.

According to Rep. Jimmy Gomez, ICE has had to stand up tends next to the federal building and is forcing people to sleep outside. Inside the building, lights go off at 5:00PM, leaving families alone in the DARK, where they've had to wait for over 12 hours to get food or WATER.
One attorney reports her client was held without food or water from 2pm through the next day. His wife and 2 kids waited 12+ hours with nothing. No water. No explanation. 3/8

A 20-year-old woman is being held alone. Her mother was detained in transit. They’ve been checking in with ICE for years. Their asylum process was legal and based on abuse. They were days from a court date. Now—they’re detained, separated, and with their future in limbo. 5/8

According to attorneys on site, ICE claims it can detain people indefinitely even if they have a legal stay. That means: even if a court says they can’t be deported, ICE keeps them locked up anyway. 6/8

I’m really not sure what’s worse. We don’t even have ballot initiatives in Indiana, so our state govt doesn’t even give us a chance to say what we want (other than who we vote for), but putting things to a vote then disregarding the results is pretty shitty.

I had forgotten that one of the points made in the Declaration of Independence ... ... was that Americans needed freedom from a king ... ... guilty of “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences" @jamellebouie.net in the NYT (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/o...
A screenshot with the following text; the final sentence is highlighted in blue:

More than a constitutional crisis, this is a fundamentally tyrannical assertion of illegitimate power. To claim the authority to remand any American, citizen or otherwise, to a distant prison beyond the reach of any legal remedy is to violate centuries of Anglo-American legal tradition and shatter the very foundations of constitutional government in the United States. It is to reduce the citizens of a republic to the subjects of a king. It is, in the language of the American revolutionaries, to enslave the people to a singular, arbitrary will. It is not for nothing that among the accusations listed in the Declaration of Independence is the charge that the king is guilty of “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences.”
