Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

A family gathers in the backyard to ask five questions about America. They argue, laugh, smoke, cry but stay at the table. The Weight of the Table is a story about love, conflict, and what it means to keep talking when the country wants you to stop.

I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Every major media company around the world should be reporting on this every single day until those men are released.
In all seriousness, what is the plan for getting these apparently innocent young asylum seekers—dads, workers, dutifully checking in with US immigration—out of a foreign prison where they are facing torture and dehumanization while officials do Barbie poses in front of them?
ICE is transferring innocent people to torture prison in El Salvador.
