Migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison faced beatings, shaved heads, no drinkable water, no hygiene, and daily abuse - including sexual assault in β€œblind spots" not covered by cameras.

No charges. No due process. No trials. No justice.

Tell these stories! US media won't!

Memes used by the far right are about connecting to youth and bringing them into the fold thru recruitment. It's another tool of propaganda, ask your youth in your family what they think of it and what their classmates think of it this attempt at normalizing this insanity.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

This is what you voted for⁉️

Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies.

Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

This man was reunited with his family after being released from CECOT in a prisoner exchange.

A few men that where released needed wheelchairs. There are reports that these men where beaten daily.

This man had NO criminal record. Most of them don’t.

Last night we got another midnight special from House Republicans. A rescissions package that slashes public broadcasting, even though millions rely on it for life-saving emergency alerts. They also voted to cut foreign assistance, which helps keep us safe.

Have just realized that the silly β€œBezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy CondΓ© Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

Trump's Tariffs Are Just the Beginning Is Canada the next Ukraine?

This is not a fight about soyabeans and transistors. Trump is the front face of a right wing insurgency that has undermined the international rule of law. Canada is the front line standing up to his increasingly dangerous rhetoric.
Here is my latest piece.

🚨🚨🚨 Rep. Wasserman Schultz just toured β€œAlligator Alcatraz” and came out shaking: β€œIt’s 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, and defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don’t come close to the stench of it.”

We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

BREAKING: Judge rules that during its large-scale enforcement operation in LA, DHS/ICE has been arresting people without probable cause -- based on factors like accent and line of work.

She orders the agencies to stop.

Shut Down "Alligator Alcatraz" "Alligator Alcatraz" is an environmental and humanitarian disaster. The cruelty must end. Join me in telling Congress to demand access and block all federal funds until this compound is shut down.

The government is using $450 million of our tax dollars a year to fund an inhumane immigration detention facility called β€œAlligator Alcatraz.”

Tell Congress: Demand access and shut it down.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of β€œdemocrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.
