If this unfortunate man is still alive, and returned to the US, it will be a media feeding frenzy as the torture inflicted on these prisoners is exposed. The WH felon doesn’t want this to be exposed for it will change many attitudes on our home soil.

When Rep. Adriano Espaillat began to see reports of Puerto Ricans and other citizens being questioned and arrested by ICE agents, he demanded answers from the Trump administration. That was more than 10 weeks ago. He has not received a response. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

In 2018, the first Trump admin. wrongfully deported an Iraqi man, despite a court order. The U.S. govt quickly recognized the mistake and worked with the man's attorneys to bring him back. He was later returned. My story on the difference from then to now: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

NEW: A whistleblower report submitted to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel reveals that DOGE and Elon Musk appear to have mishandled and manipulated sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board — and worked to cover its tracks. The NLRB is a small independent agency that…

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Simple question. Would you rather be a slave or a slave owner? You can't choose neither.

This is tragic news. I’ve reached out to Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren and offered my support. I can only imagine how heartbreaking this is for the Navajo community members who are served by Diné College. www.12news.com/article/news...

I tried to articulate something that I thought was missing from most assessments of Blue Origin's all-women stunt flight: that its message was profoundly sexist. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

. Korea’s parliament vowed to impeach their president every single week until his party stopped covering for him or he resigned in disgrace. No other business got done. Meanwhile in America, we’re just…vibing through the collapse. 🥴 .

Oh, they've been here all along, and what happens is they run into the wall of "don't engage, just block" and then they get frustrated that no one will bother with them. They just mewl "debate me" in sad, abandoned tones, out in the cornfield, all alone.

Texas has been undermining public health and vaccine funding for years. That’s a major reason measles blew up there. “We haven’t had a strong immunization program that can really do a lot of boots-on-the-ground work for years”, according to a health department official. Link below.

Hey ICE you are now slavers chasing - hunting for the slave traders and you are so proud you have to wear masks and hoodies. What a country.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

This is GREAT NEWS… Pass. It. On. 😎✨

I found something disturbing in satellite imagery of the CECOT mega prison in El Salvador. This was taken March 20, 2025. In one of the open yards, there's a massive reddish stain surrounded by pale scattered shapes. Please read this whole thread and spread it as much as possible. (1/5)

238 people so far have been sent from the US to the torture prison in El Salvador. net deportations are essentially flat, occurring at about the same rate as they did under Biden. I take this as confirmation they don’t have the resources/logistics ability to massively increase deportations. (1/?)

YIKES: The College Football Playoff National Championship trophy completely falls apart as JD Vance picks it up. A metaphor for this disastrous administration. (via Philip Wegmann)
