Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The Future Is Coming and It's (Literally) Sunny: Notes on the Solar Revolution I drove home to San Francisco from New Mexico last weekend, and in the western Mojave desert of California I passed in quick succession three vast renewable energy sites: the first was three solar con...

The solar revolution means that power can be decentralized, democratized, distributed far more justly. So it makes perfect and hideous sense, given the nostalgia of authoritarians for a golden age (of exclusion, exploitation, and inequality ), to tie themselves to all fossil fuel's problems.

For decades, I've been fighting to make sure insurers don't discriminate against patients with mental illness and addiction. I've passed 2 different laws to make them pay these claims.

But now Trump is taking the insurers side.

I hope you watch this. It's an important story.

Referring to yourself in the third person is something that narcissists do. As far as the hand makeup, he could have had a blood draw, and his vein blew. He might be on blood thinners for an irregular heart rhythm.

What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant.

"Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

FOIA records reveal Evanston data accessible to out-of-state police making ICE searches Unclear whether city responded to immigration-enforcement searches by Alex Harrison June 16th, 2025

The Evanston Police Department shared its network of 18 automatic license plate readers with at least seven out-of-state agencies that sent vehicle searches to other Illinois cities for immigration enforcement cases, according to a RoundTable analysis of public records obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.

The agencies were matched between records disclosed by EPD and the police departments of Mount Prospect and Danville, all of which contract with surveillance technology company Flock Safety to use its license plate reader hardware and software. Evanston has 18 stationary cameras, primarily installed along the city’s boundaries with Chicago to the south and Skokie to the west, as well as a mobile β€œflex” camera that can be attached to a squad car.

Five months ago, Evanston became a Welcoming City.

Today, we've learned that the Evanston PD shared its network of license plate data with at least seven out-of-state agencies conducting immigration searches in Illinois cities.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection.

Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

The reason many in the US / EU look down on Palestinians or try excuse Israeli crimes by blaming Hamas is not because they oppose terrorism but because they want to erase their own complicity in the genocide. If the victims are β€œresponsible for empowering Hamas” then what are you responsible for?
