We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

People need to realize that, along with citizens swept up in immigration raids, they have also detained citizens for being involved in activism.

Bad Bunnyโ€™s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of โ€œAmรฉricaโ€โ€”among many other thingsโ€”and some Anglo journalists are like โ€œhis performance wasnโ€™t political.โ€

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Aliya Rahman is a U.S. citizen who was violently arrested by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Rahman says she repeatedly told agents she was disabled, but they ignored her pleas for medical attention or other accommodation.

Their argument is: rich white people are allowed to do whatever they want, and that includes pedo islands or rounding up the rest in camps.

There is no contradiction, no hypocrisy, no argument that will sway them. The ideology is: power is moral

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last yearโ€” unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of powerโ€”but without any real accountability/justice

Mamdani Forces Delivery Apps to Pay Back $4.6 Million Cheated From Drivers New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has already scored a major win for deliveristas working for three delivery giants.

The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

Apparently Latino agents murdered Alex Pretti. Itโ€™s not a shock. Many Latinos support Trump and MAGA (I say this as a Vietnamese American whose community has many such supporters).

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
