These. Are. Concentration. Camps.
Gianl1974@Gianl1974

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

The Saga of Erika Kirk and Druski he’s just getting started. She’s not happy about the sketch.. and her supporter is mad as hell. These are the same people who think it was OK for Trump to post a video of the Obama’s depicting them as monkeys.

The Oscars In Memoriam ignored him but I cannot. He was my friend. I put him in five films. In early January I buried James “PJ” Ransone after he committed suicide… He was a complex, funny, talented, and undeniably reckless person. He was wildly alive and deeply loved. I know he said some infuriating things online, but the last time I saw him, he cried with regret for all of that. “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings,” he said. Please don’t trash him here. He is dearly missed.

Apple raised the MacBook Air price by $100 today. The base model now starts at $1,099. They doubled the storage to 512GB so nobody would notice. The timing tells you everything. Apple is announcing the MacBook Neo tomorrow, a sub-$800 laptop running an iPhone A18 Pro chip instead of an M-series processor. The Air needed to move upmarket to create room underneath it. You can’t sell a $999 Air and a $599 Neo without cannibalizing one of them. So you bump the Air to $1,099 with doubled storage, make customers feel like they got a deal, and carve out a $500 gap for Neo to live in. The iPhone 17 story is the same playbook. Apple added 120Hz ProMotion and doubled storage to 256GB while holding the $799 price. Sounds generous until you realize the iPhone Air exists now at a higher price point above it, and the iPhone 17e just launched at $599 with 256GB. Apple is building a three-tier ladder on every product line and adjusting specs at each rung so the jumps feel justified. Here’s what nobody is talking about: Apple is doing all of this during a global RAM price crisis. Memory costs have surged because of AI datacenter buildout. Every other laptop maker is raising prices or cutting specs. Apple is absorbing the hit on storage and display upgrades specifically because it needs the product lineup to make sense for the Neo launch. Mac sales dropped 6.7% last quarter to $8.39B, missing analyst estimates by over $600M. They need a volume play. The “value” framing is the misdirection. The real move is Apple turning its product line into a pricing ladder where every rung feels like a deal compared to the one above it, and every rung looks premium compared to the one below it. That’s how you grow a business that’s shrinking: you create a new bottom and push everything else up.

POV: You realise Apple products went from “overpriced” to “most value for money” in 2026. > Base Macbook Air with 512gb ssd > Base Macbook Air with 16gb ram > Base iPhone with 256gb storage > Base iPhone with 120hz display

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
