Congress was just notified of the 15th death in ICE custody since Trump took office.
This is the direct result of this administration expanding the use of private, for-profit prisons that put their bottom line over people’s health and safety.

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore $500 million in UCLA medical research grants.
The grants were suspended over allegations of campus antisemitism, use of race in admissions, and recognition of transgender identities.

I agree. But, people who do not have their basic needs met are easy to control and steal from. So we have what we have.

Trump just murdered 11 people on a boat off of Venezuela to distract from the Epstein victims speaking out tomorrow.
My guess is an even larger escalation around the time that the victims start speaking in the morning.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.
This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.
Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

colleagues in an email Friday that he was submitting what he called an “involuntary resignation.” He explained that ever since his whistleblower complaint became public, the agency’s actions against him amounted to retaliation that ultimately drove him out of his position.

Hi, immunologist here:
(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)
RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

ICE raids at domestic violence shelters abandon survivors of abuse and embolden their attackers.
I’ve introduced legislation to block ICE enforcement at domestic violence shelters and similarly sensitive locations. Congress must pass it now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
