They thought they were in court for a routine immigration hearing, but walked into a deportation trap
In a court system with a backlog of about 3.8 million asylum cases, families have been torn apart and lives upended. Due process seemingly is an afterthought.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Meanwhile Trump is selling bleeding edge military tech to the nation behind 9/11 and who will cheerfully pass it on to China.
Mike Johnson's current argument is that the Epstein files contain national security secrets that must stay classified.
That Epstein was so very intimately involved in the CIA and FBI, for some reason. Don't ask why. Definitely do not ask why the world's biggest pedophile was told all these secrets

This is what the Big Ugly Bill is doing to people’s health insurance costs.
From $350 to $800/month. Coinsurance increases from 30% to 40%. eith insurance I have to pay almost half of all costs until I spend the $9800 max out of pocket. I was gonna have a procedure done for back pain but since I'd have to do it again in a year, I'm not doing it. I'll just live with pain.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

And in the case of grocery stores like Walmart, our tax dollars are going right back into their coffers when their employees use SNAP money to buy food there. Walmart is double-dipping on public benefits, costing taxpayers over $6 Billion annually. dataspace.princeton.edu/handle/88435...

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has encouraged us to record or write what it means to us to live in a democracy. So today I spent some writing things I want from a democratic government.
We had these things as recently as last year, 2024. And that gives me hope that we can/will have these again.

The reason for military rules of engagement and adhering to laws of armed combat is not “political correctness,” it’s better strategy, serves long-term national interest, and is a way to make an awful part of the human experience a little less awful, based on lessons learned from centuries of blood.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation.

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.
Now that summer is over, Chicago is still on track to have fewer homicides in 2025 than almost any other year since 2001. This is especially impressive considering that the five most violent years of the 21st century have all been in the past decade.
