BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

Does anyone have this in Spanish? I want to print double sided.
Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

The Pentagon reversed plans to cut off critical military satellite data used for hurricane forecasting.
The data, vital for tracking storm intensification, will keep flowing through Sept 2026 after experts warned losing it could delay life‑saving alerts.

Bloomberg argues Zeldin’s plan to revoke EPA’s 2009 greenhouse‑gas finding is fiscally reckless: it might save ~$1T in compliance but risks ~$87T in climate damages.
Legally shaky and economically absurd, it shifts massive costs to the public, on top of massive health risks.
