Plane to purgatory: how Trump’s deportation program shuttles immigrants into lawless limbo 44,000 immigrants, 1,700 flights, 100 days: a Guardian investigation of leaked flight data and government detention data reveals the inhumane journey of immigrants shuttled around and outside the US

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... — GlobalX (centered in this exposé of life inside the U.S. deportation surge) is one of three airlines that has been flying ICE flights out of Pease in Portsmouth.

Pressure may be having an impact at Pease, but shifting the problem back and forth is not the long term goal. Stop ICE flights from New England.

NH folks — please sign our petition to keep pressure on the Pease Development Authority — www.change.org/p/stop-ice-d...

‘What are we allowing to go on?’ New Hampshire residents participate in Gaza solidarity fast By choice, Jesse Gillis has only eaten one small meal a day since May 22. Working as a forester, the reduced nutritional intake has taken a toll on his body.

Thanks to the Concord Monitor for covering our #Fast4Gaza — entering into Week 4 of the 40-day strike. We have comrades who are hospitalized. And hundreds dying daily in Gaza, starving and shot at when seeking food. Join us in demanding the siege end — www.concordmonitor.com/Hunger-strik...

Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump has committed at least 15 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below:
"1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
3.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither (partial offense)
4.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
5.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
6.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
7.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
8.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
9.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
10.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
11.	For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
12.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
13.	(Partial offense), abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
14.	(Partial offense), and destroyed the lives of our people.
15.	He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and (partial offense)"

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part.

Particularly notable right now:
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

Megan Chapman: Stand up for our constitutional rights or will be eviscerated To the editor:

Took about a month to get printed, but it is more relevant than ever as rampant attacks on freedom of speech escalate — how many more Mahmoud Khalils, Badar Khan Suris, Rumesya Ozturks, et al, before we all take a stand? How long until citizens are targeted? www.conwaydailysun.com/opinion/lett...

Today’s #HandsOff rally in Conway #NewHampshire may have been the largest in the history of that town of 10,000 people — Approximately 800 peacefully protesting MuskTrump overreach, demanding protections for Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans, & civil liberties, among many core issues.

Gotta say — 19 hours in and counting, I can’t stop listening to Cory Booker bringing so much heart to this stand he has taken. May he break the hate-filled record of 24 hours & 18 minutes — and seed the next phase of the #Resistance. Please tune in and show support & love: www.booker.senate.gov/live

He said it all. Most importantly, “At this particular moment in history, despair is not an option. Giving up is not acceptable. And none of us have the privilege of hiding under the covers. The stakes are just too high.”
