71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Ex-Israeli minister Ayalon: "There is no famine in Gaza."
Me: "Why does the IPC say there is a famine?"
Ayalon: "The IPC changed the criteria."
Me: "That's a lie. What criteria did they change?"
Ayalon: "They changed many criteria."

I don’t know about you, but anytime I see a famous person say that “the Epstein list is a distraction” or that “it doesn’t exist” my first thought is that they or one of their friends is on the list.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill?

-Tax cuts skewed to the rich
-Medicaid & SNAP cuts
-Ends IRS Direct File
-New powers for Trump over the courts
-Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage

It's a big, ugly nightmare.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday.

The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

Rümeysa Öztürk is home in Massachusetts!

She can now return to her studies and community in Somerville while her case proceeds.

This is cause for celebration, but our fight for Rümeysa is not over. The First Amendment is for everyone – we will not back down.
