I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

There is no justification for rape. Those who commit rape must be held accountable. Those who rape children are ducking evil. Those who knowingly associate with people who rape (children) also need to be held accountable. Apologizing after you are caught is meaningless. #EpsteinFiles

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

Heritage Action on Twitter: “President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state.

Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop.
These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.
