The same old sentence wrapped in different words: look what you made me do. You pushed me. You deserved it. This is your fault. It’s the logic of abuse, a kind of moral alchemy that turns cruelty into consequence and makes a woman responsible for her own pain.

Read the whole story. It is shocking and horrifying. The United States government grabbed a man outside of his apartment and within less than 48 hours vanished him from the face of the earth.

He is probably imprisoned in El Salvador. But no one knows! He wasn't on the flight manifest leaked by CBS.
He disappeared after detention. Now ICE is silent on the fate of Venezuelan man
A Venezuelan man has disappeared into the U.S. immigration system. His family is looking for answers.

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.

The only thing that will change their minds is when donors close their checkbooks.
I’m absolutely fucking LIVID at my senators right now.

I cannot believe how absolutely feckless they are.

Truly disgusted right now watching them capitulate to Trump and Musk’s vile administration and dangerous agenda.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely.

These presentations are sometimes the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.

A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care.
U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother’s life.

My grandfather was born on Armistice day and his middle name was Victory in celebration of the end of the war in Europe. He also served in WWII. I never met him, but many relatives have told me they see him in me. Happy Birthday grandfather. Thank you veterans.
