We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

This is what I was talking about last year in my piece on the Everglades camp for MSNBC, when it was already clear the US government was talking to several countries. Not only is the US creating a domestic network of camps, "we’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network."

Journalists Jailed by ICE Are Revealing the Horrors of Incarceration The Trump administration’s attacks on journalists have a side effect: further exposing the violence of prisons.

ICE didn't know who it was messing with when it locked up gifted storytellers like Sami Hamdi and Rümeysa Öztürk. They're exposing abuses in ICE jails that are also prevalent throughout the rest of the carceral system.

The U.S. State Department has called for U.S. citizens in Mexico to shelter in place after today’s Mexican military operation that killed drug lord Nemesio Oseguerra, known as “El Mencho.”

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

3 million pages of evidence of a massive child sex trafficking ring in the US and this is how the FBI director is spending his time.

El Mencho was the last of the old guard—the final mass-trafficking titan standing alongside El Chapo and El Mayo—now fallen, marking the end of an era in Mexican organized crime.

This is a developing story.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

It’s fascinating that the MAGAs really seem to think fucking up American air travel out of pure spite (by suddenly shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry) on a day where a blizzard is hitting the entire Northeast will make people like them *more*

John Miller’s building materials company is also downtown. He and others formed a group called One Circle Community Coalition last July with concerns about plans to bring datacenters to the area. The group of about 150 locals includes “liberal Democrats and staunch conservatives”, he said. The coalition held a public meeting 6 January on ICE’s plans, and sent a four-page letter to the homeland security department on 29 January.

anti-data center groups pivoting to anti-ICE concentration camp groups. we love to see it.

This Is Exactly What Privacy Experts Said Would Happen CBP’s trove of biometric data is catnip for bad actors.

I was quoted in this 2019 article about the risks of troves of biometric data collected by CBP from travelers. Six short years later and our data is being used against us, just like pretty much everyone warned it would be.

Absolutely stunning display of inhumanity: double amputee in ICE detention forced to crawl through across the floor of a bathroom just to shower. Follow Tim's shocking reporting of detention in Georgia @onofftherecord.bsky.social

And don't forget, no pedophiles in power.

This is incest. There is a sick power dynamic. I'm disgusted that our society is complicit with powerful men abusing others and media normalizes shit like this.

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

Faiza, who was displaced from her home in Rafah, told us she was excited to receive a WCK #Ramadan kit because it contains enough ingredients for several days’ worth of traditional iftar and suhoor meals. (1/2)

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The three journalists who helped ruin Ava Cordero's life when she tried to stop Epstein in 2006 *currently* work at NBC News, New York Magazine, and News Corp Australia. The one at NBC News is covering... Epstein.

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech
