Trump Sent Them To Hell. Now He's Erasing Them Altogether. Dozens of U.S. CECOT detainees’ immigration cases have been dismissed – denying Trump’s victims their day in court.

Trump has sent hundreds of people to El Salvador's CECOT for indefinite detention, without charge, trial or sentence. DHS has dismissed dozens of their immigration cases in absentia: "essentially rid itself of its opposing party," an immigration judge wrote recently:

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.

Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

FACT SHEET: Medicaid Works For Women & Children — Protect Our Care April marks the 7th annual Medicaid Awareness Month. Medicaid is an essential source of coverage for women and children. More than 18 million, or nearly 1 in 5, adult women...

A friendly reminder that about half of all US children rely on Medicaid for healthcare. And about 40% of all births are covered by Medicaid. Where’s that culture of life we were hearing about? #medicaid

The strategic chaos playbook:
1. Create a moral panic
2. Blame it on a target group
3. Commence monitoring
4. Deploy droves of security apparatuses
5. $ Demand spikes for containment
6. Imprisonment through prisons & detention
