An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country.

- Reposted by beth4158 🙄This is damning. The Treasury Secretary just admitted that it's "up to the President" whether the DOJ sues or investigates Warsh if he fails to follow Trump's direction at the Fed. They're saying it out loud - Trump will only accept a sock puppet as the head of the Fed.

- Reposted by beth4158 🙄More to come on this; the rule makes a number of other changes to the Board of Immigration Appeals process (such that it will exist should this rule go into effect in 30 days without a court order blocking it). But top line; it's quite bad! public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-02326.pdf
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄CORRECTION: This rule does not go into effect tomorrow, it goes into effect 30 days after tomorrow. My apology.
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄The appeal to the federal circuit court ALSO costs $600. So now anyone who loses in immigration has to pay $1,000 to be automatically denied in nearly every case, and then $600 to seek an emergency stay of their imminent deportation. AND THIS APPLIES EVEN TO PEOPLE IN DETENTION.
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄The goal is clear; mass deportations over due process. An order of removal does not become "final" until the Board of Immigration Appeals denies an appeal. After that, ICE can deport the person unless they file ANOTHER appeal to a federal circuit court AND get an emergency stay.
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄The Trump admin is ALSO changing the rules so that rather than 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal, people will now only have 10 days (in most cases). That's just 10 days to find $1,000 and appellate counsel for an appeal the government says it will likely automatically deny!
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
- This week, someone told me that concerns about that are "overblown." I replied, "So you acknowledge it's a problem to at least some degree." "Some" Nazi is a nonstarter, people. There's no amount of Nazi that's OK. There are other platforms. If you're making money on Substack, that's a choice.

- Reposted by beth4158 🙄Dems need to abandon the idea, fed to them by certain commentators, that Trump's 2024 win represented a durable cultural shift against immigration. It's blinding them to the possibilities of this moment. Check out this exchange with @brianbeutler.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/2061...
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄Crucial from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: Anyone selling warehouses to ICE for camps should prepare for video leaking of "people inside being tortured."

- The war in Iraq lasted just shy of nine years, and the U.S. lost ~4,800 service members. (Totals vary.) It is mind boggling that Russia has lost more than 1.2 MILLION men in less than half the time that we occupied Iraq. How? How, in this age of “modern” warfare, does a country lose WWI numbers?
- Reposted by beth4158 🙄Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning? No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!
