Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

"The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has obtained a list of more than 700 people who have been detained or appear to be scheduled to be sent to the Florida-run immigration detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz."

We do have a secret police in the United States now. Unidentified agents, without accountability, serving an autocrat and targeting law-abiding people who present no threat.

Republicans just voted to kill their base. They don't care because they had one assignment: placate the billionaire donors.

It's the rest of us vs. the oligarchy.

The majority vs. the 1%

We need fighters willing to stand up and lead on this.

On the top of the horror of the Senate bill, another depressing aspect is watching all the Democrats and Democratic groups spring into action with their boilerplate fundraising emails about "fighting back" and "not giving up."

Just complete and total autopilot. No real leadership or inspiration.

Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is a 1,116-page wrecking ball for America. It dismantles our social safety nets, sells out our future, and lines the pockets of the wealthy. That’s not β€˜America First'-it's selling our economy to the highest bidder.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

David is right. What JD Vance is saying is nothing is more important than destroying this country’s basic principles and crash the economy to expel a population he doesn’t like.

There are other options! Ones that actually make this country BETTER, not WORSE.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

To be clear: the Trump administration is trying to send migrants to Libya specifically *because* of their gross human rights record - not in spite of it.

They want people to be afraid to come here, so they’re sending them to the worst places they can find.

The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexicoβ€”a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Fascinating to see so many otherwise intelligent and privileged people discover that Trump is disastrous for America and the world at the exact moment their bottom line, wealth, and stock portfolio took a hit.

As long as Trump was attacking "the woke" and college students, they were on board.
