"The humanitarian needs are overwhelming. One truck, three trucks, even a hundred trucks of aid per day are simply not enough to meet the scale of needs among two million people. We cannot address a crisis of this magnitude with piecemeal solutions".

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is beyond catastrophic.

Over 600 days of hostilities, coupled with severe restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian relief, continue to inflict immense & widespread suffering on civilians.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Public media is under threat. Millions depend on the NPR Network every day. Silencing journalism is one way to silence truth and erode the power of the people. Donate now.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off
the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia.
Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your
name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new
passport, and you fly home? They do this all day
for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there
are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have
that happen to you but it's not like your life is over
or anything. And the government should definitely
write you a nice check as an apology.

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says that it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Here's the evidence ICE submitted in his case: a "gang worksheet" filled out by local cops in 2019 saying:

1) he had on Chicago Bulls gear
2) a confidential information said he was part of an MS-13 clique in a state he'd never lived in.

ICE agreed they had nothing else. Read the full context here:

Trump administration concedes Maryland father from El Salvador was mistakenly deported and sent to mega prison | CNN Politics The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because ...

A Maryland father was wrongly deported without due process and is now trapped in a dangerous El Salvador prison, torn from his family.

ICE calls it an "administrative error." We call it a grave injustice.

Purple background, picture of actress kathryn hahn winking with the caption crisis pregnancy centers (CPC) promising to offer unbiased health care information.

Here’s something that *should* be an April Fool’s joke, but isn’t: CPCs outnumber real abortion clinics 3 to 1 in the US.

CPCs aren’t real medical clinics and have a shady agenda to scare, shame or pressure you out of getting an abortion. Here are 3 ways to spot them so you don’t get fooled ⤵️

How to Save a Democracy Americans can learn from opponents of authoritarianism elsewhere.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

So, according to Republicans, attacking our Capitol & beating police officers with their own shields is “free speech” that gets you pardoned, but signing your name to an op-ed in support of Palestine is “causing a ruckus” that gets you deported.

Do I have that just about right?
