More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

There is truth to the idea that media outlets are drawn to negative, sensational news. Everyone writes about Florida eliminating vaccine mandates. Yet we have a letter signed by over 1,000 Florida physicians opposing this decision, and no outlet would published it. They don't even respond at all.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP‼️
The executive branch is a lost cause and Vance is as unhinged as Trump. We’re barely a year in and this feels like the start, not the end.
Our only move is to take back Congress—grab the gavels, hold hearings, expose everything, block every rotten move.

What we're unraveling in the Epstein case could be a bigger scandal than Watergate involving billionaires & foreign governments.
My motion to subpoena the files is bringing us closer to getting the full truth for survivors & the American people. We will keep fighting for transparency & justice.
