I can explain it right now tbh, they don't consider the rest of us human much less American. It's not national suicide, it is a family annihilation perpetuated by people who lied and grifted and stole they way into power and are using it to consolidate resources ahead of the climate catastrophe

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

β€œIn October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review.

Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”

'An Iranian missile landed on him': Sky News speaks to son of expat who died in United Arab Emirates Saleh Ahmed, 55, was delivering drinking water when he was fatally struck by debris after a missile attack on the first day of the war. His son tells Sky News he does not believe his father knew the c...

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under Β£500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

How State and Local Leaders Are Responding to ICE: Your Questions Answered How are states restricting ICE activity? Can local prosecutors charge federal officers? How can local leaders prepare for ICE deployments? We provide answers about local responses to the immigration crackdown.

Are you wondering if your police department is coordinating with ICE?

Our research editor Ethan Corey explains how to find out. Many local agencies have visible contracts to hold detainees for ICE, but other forms of cooperation are more subtle.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

I've seen people saying that Israel is behind the US' imperialist actions, or even that the US would cease to exist without Israel - which seems both ludicrous and, to be entirely honest, a little too close to conspiracy theories about Jews running the world.

Fascists are stupid whether they call themselves multipolar or antiimperialist, and the great power contradictions between US and China were always much more shallow than their infrastructural, economic and material codependence, hence China doing nothing for Iran and why the US can go full Samson

If you must pay for a Proton account for a radical project, pay with cash (you can mail it) or washed crypto (Monero -> Bitcoin).

All credit card payments are traceable, even to a privacy-focused company.

Your security model should not rely on a business to fight the state on your behalf.

Minneapolis’s Underground Health Networks Can Offer Lessons for Other Cities When ICE forced families into hiding, informal medical networks sprang up to deliver critical health care services.

After about one-third of her patients stopped showing up for appointments, Munira Maalimisaq, co-founder of Inspire Change Clinic in Minneapolis, said, β€œWe have to do something.” So she called a physician friend. What if they just started seeing patients at home?

1) Collect & tell stories from local history taken from working & marginalized communities.
2) Create public spaces where these stories can be shared & discussed.
3) Tie those stories to the ongoing struggles for justice & liberation.

It’s Not Complicated The mainstream media failed the public during the genocide in Gaza. The Key's editor-in-chief shares her vision for what comes next.

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets."
