FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Was it “self defense” when an ICE agent repeatedly raped a detained woman?
Was it “self defense” when it denied detainees critically needed medical care and killed more than 50 people in detention?
Was it “self defense” when it shipped detainees to a foreign torture camp?
ICE doesn’t “defend”

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

WHY NOT? Medicare could be modified to benefit all American Citizens, not just the old. Instead of putzing around and getting nothing done, it's time for our elected officials to step up and join the other democratic nations that have already made healthcare a citizen's right.
