At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.

Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

Same! I have always been baffled by the name and have no issues squashing them whenever I can (they’re invasive). Didn’t realize until right now that I am in the minority and there’s a genetic reason for it!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Mr Cuban,

I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Trump pardons Honduran ex-president who was convicted of drug crimes - NPR
Makes perfect sense. Blindly blow up boats and kill people because they might be related to drug cartels while also pardoning someone actually convicted of drug crimes and being in a cartel. πŸ™„πŸ˜‘ I can’t take him anymore!!!

Third Kentucky infant dies from whooping cough as statewide cases surge A third Kentucky infant has died from whooping cough in the last 12 months, the Kentucky Department for Public Health said Monday.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch β€œNuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

I agree. Don’t miss the commercials but I for sure miss just turning on the tv and having something instantly playing and flipping channels just to see what strikes you. It was actually easier. We definitely watch much less tv now

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Humanity is doing great

The most evil American is the President of the United States

The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire

And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

I really think these states should be able to hold on to federal tax money from they’re constituents since they’re picking up the bill
