Medieval, sure. But they really needed a yummy scene like this for their propaganda film "Maga Hunger Games". *(apologies to the original franchise)

Another item to add to the very long corrupt acts list. I wonder how many of the sellers were concerned when they accepted the overly generous offers? Or was there a bidding war for warehouses?

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.

NPR spoke to an official at a government contractor whose company was approached to convert several of the warehouses into ICE facilities. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the government.

"No one that we spoke to at DHS was for this idea whatsoever. The deputy director told us point-blank that they had pushed back very hard on it. Everybody knew warehouses are horrible places to put people," he says.

At a meeting with a deputy director at DHS, he says, his company proposed an alternative: FEMA-style camps in Texas that would be more humane.

He says that idea was swiftly shot down. While White House adviser Stephen Miller was not at the meeting, they were told that this was not what Miller wanted.

The contractor says his understanding from that meeting was that "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."

Of course. The cruelty is the point. Miller clearly aspires to concentration camp glory.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

Pioneering feminist icon Gloria Steinem has died at the age of 92. According to her Instagram page, she "passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her." She was a tireless advocate for the social, economic and political advancement of women.
