Read these words. This is your country doing this:

“Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.”

Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors
(1/4) ICE detention has become a black box. Oversight has been gutted. Families are being separated. Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered.
Miscarriages, infections, neglect: The pregnant women detained by ICE
Until last year, Congress required reports on the pregnant, postpartum or nursing women in ICE custody, including ‘detailed justification’ for their detention. This requirement no longer exists, Kelly...

If ICE has nothing to hide from its raid in San Antonio, why did they smash security cameras?

If authorities are so sure they arrested 51 members of Tren de Aragua, why can’t they offer proof? www.kens5.com/article/news...
The latest: 51 of 143 detained in major San Antonio raid are Tren de Aragua members, FBI says
The Nov. 16 raid in the area of San Pedro and Basse was the result of an investigation into a drug dealer, according to records.

Watch our reporter Lizzie Presser discuss Tierra Walker's story on @msnowreports.bsky.social:

“What I want to be clear about is that this isn’t a bug in these [abortion ban] laws, this is a feature ... Anti-abortion activists have fought hard to keep health exceptions outside of these laws.”

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Recent emails obtained by House Oversight Democrats show why Trump is so desperate to hide these files. Epstein disclosed Trump "knew about the girls" and “spent hours” with at least one. Yet, House Republicans continue to cover up the truth—denying survivors the justice and respect they deserve.

This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!
