What's happening in ICE detention centers is horrifying. People are being tortured & deprived of all civil & human rights. If it can happen to them, it can happen to us! Trump told El Salvador's President he wants to lock Americans up. "Homegrown criminals are next. I said homegrowns are next."

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

I don't think Americans really understand just how fkn shitty our corporate overlords have made our country. In China they got cars under 10k... What would Americans financials look like with one of those instead of the COVID vehicles most are stuck with that hold marks for 50k+ vehicles.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

Being bullied for my height as a child made acutely aware of how the powerful harass and exploit the vulnerable — and set me on the path of activism.

this is incredible

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Ohio gave Meta, Google, and Amazon a sales tax break for data centers. It was supposed to cost $136 million in 2025. It cost $1.6 billion. Gov. DeWine vetoed the legislature's attempt to end it, insisting the tax exemption is needed to lure data center developers. signalohio.org/ohio-data-ce...

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

I'm fine with this response to Budget Goebbels Stephen Miller. Pearl clutchers should go live inside a cave and write an essay about civility.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

When I exited the center, my staff told me that there’s been a major escalation. I saw a large line of ICE agents staring down a line of protestors. I walked in the space between asking for the head of the ICE contingent. (6/19)

New York Democrats have introduced a bill to tax 100% of all funds any New Yorker receives from Trump's January 6th slush fund.

"If you want people to come to your cause, be attractive." Illuminating to have read that energy & self-organizing ("Freedom", "brat summer" "White Dudes for Harris," "Queers for Harris" etc) at outset of 107 Days got squashed because advisors saw base liking it too much.

“We’re not here for trouble… we’re just here to see our family members.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark on Day 4 of the hunger strike, a 10-year-old whose father is detained inside confronts masked guards, asking why they won’t show their faces. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

We can fall into trap of thinking mobilization must draw millions to "work." But the right stages a march with 100 randos and calls this an illustration of their might. We need all sorts of direct actions - relentless, courageous, defiant.
