This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Howard University students launched a solidarity encampment, DC and campus police threaten arrests. It's a direct attack on peaceful protest and student power. Howard students demand justice— they’re calling on community to mobilize and defend the encampment. Show up. Speak out. Stand with them.

Several years ago, mobile manufacturers began making battery replacement nearly impossible by design. And even if you find a tech who does it, this voids the phone warranty. Now an entire generation knows nothing about getting a new battery instead of a new phone.

wild seeing so many people surprised the govt will criminalize + punish people w/o sufficient evidence or due process for sociopolitical reasons AND then refuse to correct miscarriages of justice -- even in life threatening circumstances. Have y'all not followed any death penalty cases EVER?

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

The entire Congress should be supporting and joining in this. And not just for Garcia. Every single person we sent to that prison needs to be checked on and returned, either to the US or their country of origin.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will remove gender dysphoria from disabilities protected under federal law. It’s unclear what the move means for a related lawsuit that could dismantle protections for all people with disabilities.

If we taxed billionaires out of existence and used that money to make sure everyone has what they need, those former billionaires would still be very rich. But they don't want to be “very rich.” They want to be “insanely, unimaginably rich." And now we can’t afford anything.
