Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itโ€™s always a matter of will not resources.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of whatโ€™s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.

But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.

No compromise.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges.

Good, they arenโ€™t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.

After 164 years, descendants of Frederick Douglass and John Brown finally meet The great-great-grandsons of Frederick Douglass and John Brown rendezvous in Philadelphia at a play about their ancestors.

John Brown & Frederick Douglass were prominent 19th-century abolitionists with a close yet complex friendship. Both sought to end slavery, Brown advocated for armed insurrection (including the 1859 Harpers Ferry raid), while Douglass preferred speeches and political action. whyy.org/articles/des...

Frederick Douglass: Scotlandโ€™s Anti-slavery Agent | Hist Env Scot Discover the life of African American freedom fighter Frederick Douglass and his mission to win Scotland's support in his fight against slavery.

He also had a profound impact on Scottish attitudes about slavery & divesting from investments in its fruits after he visited there to give several lectures. A campaign called โ€œSend Back The Moneyโ€ was so widespread, the Scottish Free Kirk did.

In the last few years alone, the Bay Mills Indian Community has made historic investments in jobs, infrastructure, health, and housing.

Theyโ€™re growing and building support services like a pharmacy and EMS, improving access and lowering response times for their surrounding neighbors.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noemโ€™s blankie.
