Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

"Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. 'I guess,' he says."

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

Mothers and the disappeared Pregnant child detainees are sent to Texas, as harm crosses generations.

The Trump regime is sending every pregnant girl they've kidnapped to Texas. I think you can guess why.

This doesn't just show us the natural endpoint of the anti-abortion rights movement in the US. It has dark echoes of dictatorships in our not-so-distant past.

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

Two out of three Black Americans do not have a valid passport & passport ownership rises with income & age.

So document demands & their costs hit young, Black & poor voters first. That is what SAVE is built to do. Tell your senators to keep SAVE off the floor & vote no on it!

Grocery bills grew while Trump claimed he'd lower prices. Coffee, meat, produce - all up double digits. His policies directly contradict his campaign promises to working families. #TrumpAffordabilityMeltdown

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop on Feb. 19, according to security camera footage reviewed by The Post.

He was found dead five days later.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

The victim was interviewed by the FBI four times.

The last time was the day before Jeffrey Epstein died

John Oliver and team do a great job here of explaining how Twitter/X is a cesspool and why you shouldn’t go anywhere near it. Only thing it misses is new research showing that its right-biased algorithm “works” in that it shifts users’ views rightward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG...

As measles spreads, these 9 vaccine-preventable diseases could be next When it comes to infectious diseases, measles is “the canary in the coal mine,” one expert said. Here are other vaccine-preventable diseases that may come back.

There are more than 900 confirmed measles cases in the United States, as of the CDC’s most recent weekly count

Some experts worry the U.S. will lose its measles elimination status this year, a designation it has had since 2000.

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

The tariffs ruling is the right result from a terrible process The conservative justices — even the ones who ruled against Trump — are making it up as they go.

"Kavanaugh doesn’t need rigid legal reasoning. His 62-page wallop is not for you or Congress or the companies that sued the administration or anyone else. It’s for Trump, so that Trump can see just how far Kavanaugh will go in order to ensure that his power swallows that of Congress and the courts."

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc
