the right also owns the headlines. the right also did a great job convincing way too many people about the notion of a "liberal media". Very few if any "liberals" sit in ownership chairs in the media space.

This well reported piece tracked 23 DHS warehouse purchase/lease attempts, how they have attempted to skirt local regs & officials, & avoid opposition.

"'If they are going to house people there, it is a death camp. I don’t say that lightly,' said Arizona Sen. Analise Ortiz." shorturl.at/fmMj9

Even without the political messaging

The MAGA pitch is my "yeah we're creepy and evil and brutal but you need us to protect you from *the other*"

Here's "the other" you need to fear: a bunch of hot people dancing and having fun

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Eric Clapton maybe. Elvis. Tons of actors.

nbc superbowl pregame seems to be mostly about the stadium. telemundo's superbowl pregame seems to be mostly about Bad Bunny and Owen Wilson

Minneapolis’ Hotel Workers Are on Edge Staff across the city told NOTUS how their lives have changed since the start of the federal immigration operation. “It's frightening,” one said.

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

They're afraid.

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ‘disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports
