Imagine spending four decades of your life behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit.
That alone is cruel and unusual punishment.
You finally manage to secure your freedom, only to have ICE immediately grab you and send you to a detention centre.
Justice for Subu.
Let him go.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

interesting that justice barrett thinks it's appropriate for a judge to appear on a transparently partisan propaganda network like FNC
Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Just a thought, but did anyone ever check to make sure the orange demon never had a Gray’s Sports Almanac?
Why didn’t we take the warning back in 1989?

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?
I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.
So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

And this is why monopolies are bad, kids.
Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.
