I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

Dr. Catharine Young: We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone. A preventable disease resurging. This is an abject policy failure.

Pro-democracy Americans need to tell their Trump-loving family and friends that the Trump regime is calling on Americans to stop eating beef and switch to liver instead.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already.

Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.

Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.

Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.

My report:

Trump's pick for Surgeon General.

In the first year of his second term, Trump visited his properties 198 times, including 116 visits to his golf courses.

That's 39% of his days as president!

If this man dies, ICE murdered him.

This is how they work. They don’t need mass graves and unburied shell casings they will just put weak and vulnerable people in positions where they can suffer and die and then wait. If they survive they can do it again.

You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough.

Lydia Kaiser survived a brain injury after the deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis last August.

A judge in AL, Trump appointee Corey Maze, becomes the latest of 33 judges to side with ICE's mandatory detention policy.

He says a man in the US for 27 years, with 6 U.S. citizen kids, has no more due process right than someone who just crossed the border. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

Our running list of judges who have ruled on ICE’s mass detention policy POLITICO is keeping track of the federal judges who have ruled on the administration’s effort to systematically lock up thousands of people.

NEW: Here’s our searchable list of federal judges who have ruled on the legality of ICE’s mass detention policy β€” with links to key decisions by each.

At least 380 district judges have rejected it in ~3,800 cases. 31 have upheld ICE’s approach ~180 times

A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.

ICE agents crashed directly into a 19-year-old refugee's car, pulled him out from the wreck, threw him on the ground, then rushed him off to detention before he could locate the immigration papers in his car that proved he's here lawfully. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...
