New at PB: @kirstenweld.bsky.social on why, 50 years after Franco's death, Latin America will never forget the Spanish Civil War.

Trump’s administration knows that if Kilmar Abrego Garcia is brought back, he’ll speak out—about the abuse, the torture, and the web of lies propping up this entire deportation scheme.
The Trump regime keeps upping its Big Lie about wrongly deported Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia because their entire dictatorial enterprise hinges on proving their ability to crush this one human

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

The trump administration admitted in court that Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador because of an “administrative error”, but they had no power to bring him back.

Abrego Garcia had fled El Salvador out of fear of gang violence in 2011. He was granted protected status by an immigration judge.

The idea that Mexico 'takes advantage' of the United States in trade is, frankly, absurd. Mexico is party to no less than 14 free trade agreements with over 50 countries.

With Mexico as a hub, the US economy has increased access to all of those economies and is actually taking advantage of Mexico.

We call for the immediate release of former Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Kahlil, a legal permanent resident of the US. His abduction is an assault not only on basic immigration law but on our 1st Amendment protections of freedom of speech & assembly.
