A federal judge has paused construction of the hellhole in the Everglades, not because of flagrant human rights abuses but because it was built without mandatory environmental reviews. Unfortunately, it can continue operating during this 14-day pause.

Hundreds of alleged human rights abuses in immigrant detention, report finds Sen. Jon Ossoff's office found "510 credible reports" of abuse against immigration detainees, according to a report first obtained by NBC News.

Forcing a pregnant woman to sleep on the floor, denying a child with a brain tumor treatment β€” these are just some of the damning allegations about ICE detention made in a new report from Senator Ossoff.

This report adds to what we've long known: ICE detention is dangerous and puts lives at risk.

Thank you @liz.sheshed.rocks for sharing. USAF denying early retirement to transgender service members is unacceptable. They served their country honorably & deserve the same benefits any other service member is entitled to. This administration’s war on marginalized communities has zero limits.

This Is Not a Drill: When the FBI Hunts Lawmakers for Political Resistance...You’re in a Coup The coup isn’t coming. It’s underway. And unless we treat it like a five-alarm fire, we lose everything.

They’re not arresting criminals. They’re arresting resistance. And if that doesn’t shake you, read this twice.πŸ‘‡

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Fact check:

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).

This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.

Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

Keep this in mind about John Cornyn getting his request from the FBI granted: It should read, "John Cornyn says Donald Trump has granted his request to help track down Texas House Democrats." Today, the FBI is an extension of Donald Trump. They are one and the same.

Let me say this so my intentions are VERY clear. If I see a man, any man, walk up to a woman and assault her in any way, law enforcement won’t be needed. But an ambulance probably will be.

Trump’s Attack on Wind, Solar Cuts Deeper Than Industry Expected President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on wind and solar power from the rhetorical to the tangible, mounting a rapid-fire campaign that exceeds the industries’ worst fears.

$22B of US clean energy projects have been canceled since Jan.
In recent weeks alone, Trump added new wind/solar permitting reviews; essentially prevented new projects on fed land; rescinded Biden-era decisions earmarking coastal waters for wind turbines; yanked approval for massive Idaho wind farm

James Cameron, who survived this lynch mob in Indiana in 1930, moved to Milwaukee and founded America's Black Holocaust Museum to bring attention to racist violence. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Cameron, who died in 2006. I suspect that MAGA racism would distress him – but not surprise him.
