Excellent reminder article for effective boycotting with a

Because they aren't just detaining undocumented people. They are also detaining permanent residents & citizens & you could be next.

DHS, ICE, CBP & DOJ—under Trump, Noem & Human—are massively corrupt & proud of it. They lie. They obfuscate. They violate the constitution. They break the law. They refuse to follow judges’ orders. They lack morality, common decency & good character. They are dangerously out of control. PROSECUTE!

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

These are the courageous ones!

Trump, Johnson, the GOP, & any Dems, oligarchs, AGs, lawyers & others who participated in this coverup directly AND indirectly, are corrupt cowards enabling a pedophile ring & must be held accountable legally, politically & historically.

The use of the military as a domestic police force by a president is not normal – and it puts our individual liberties at risk. Elizabeth Goitein and other legal experts discuss troops in U.S. cities on the latest episode of The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/4i8DYHZ

The information contradicts the Trump administration's narrative that it is targeting the "worst of the worst" when conducting immigration enforcement. and seems to violate a 2022 federal consent decree that puts strong conditions on warrantless arrests. n.pr/4i6rNLX

The case that Venezuela or terrorists based there attacked America, or pose a serious threat to do so: nonexistent

The case for removing Maduro by force and assuming things will just sorta naturally improve from there: very weak

Abortion bans, forced pregnancy & restrictions on women’s health care is a MAJOR contributor to inexcusably high rates of preterm births & maternal & infant morbidity & mortality rates. Plus, millions of women lack access to affordable care, food & housing security & experience domestic abuse.
Today, the U.S. earned a D+ grade for preterm birth for the fourth year in a row.

As a preemie mom, I’m leading the charge in Congress with @robinkelly.house.gov and Rep. Kiggans to designate November as #PrematurityAwarenessMonth and address challenges faced by families of premature infants.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP

"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

In the five months since Florida officials floated the idea of a tent camp in the Everglades, the state's expenses for immigration detention facilities have reached well over $743 million* and climbing.

Aside from a handful of DeSantis cronies, no Floridians' lives are any better for it.

Pregnant women have been living physically demanding lives—hunting, fighting, farming, traveling hundreds of miles, heavy lifting, eating raw food, etc., for millions of years AND giving birth to babies. There’s NO set “physical activity” that can be said with certainty to cause a pregnancy loss.
#AntiAbortion #HatingWomen

South Carolina is trying YET AGAIN to pass a bill that will impose the death penalty or imprison women (life sentence) who lose their baby for any

Death penalty and life imprisonment for a miscarriage or abortion is pure hatred of women.
