Chinese ICE Detainee Dies by Suicide at Pennsylvania Detention Center A Chinese ICE detainee died by suicide at Pennsylvania’s Moshannon Valley detention center in Pennsylvania, a private jail run by GEO Group.

Moshannon jail is now the largest immigration detention center in the Northeast. The speed of its growth risks creating dangerous conditions for detainees, including crowding and lack of sufficient medical and mental health resources.

In the end, it doesn't matter what terms you use. The underlying principles remain the same.

If any of those words become problematic because of political talking points, we will continue to teach evidence-based, effective methods regardless of the terms we use."

#Belonging

If half of the country hears the word “equity” and doesn’t associate that word with “fairness,” then we’ll talk about being fair. I’m happy to change my vocabulary so quickly, the pundits and pols don’t have time to mount a propaganda campaign.
#Integration

It makes sense if the meaning of “racism,” “oppression,” “equity,” and “victimhood” are altered to fit a particular political ideology. That’s why the Headway team suggests that we not insist on using specific terms if those terms have been undermined or corrupted.

People have succeeded in trashing TESLA's brand. A similar determined campaign can do the same to ICE.

When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.

Just a reminder that transgender people are not causing Americans to lose their retirement savings.

The “black jobs” Trump was talking about.

Which is why they want us out of government, academia, and the corporate work force.

Text reads: In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military. Now, there are zero.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none.

Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

"Does publishing trans writers constitute promoting gender ideology?” But to pursue this line of questioning is in itself a moral compromise. The term “gender ideology” is not only condescending, but like so much fascistic vocabulary, it is also unintelligible." 1 / 2

Chen on Monday made his comments about the alleged racial motivations behind Noem's decision while probing the plaintiffs' equal protection claims. But it was not clear how he was leaning on more technical issues, including whether he has the power to hear the case at all.

The National TPS Alliance and a group of Venezuelan TPS recipients have asked Chen to postpone the April 3 effective date of Noem's directive pending the outcome of their lawsuit. They claim that Noem failed to follow the proper procedures to end TPS status and to adequately explain her decision, and that her move violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution because it was based on racial animus.
