You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.
We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.

The headline should read, "Trump suing to deny food assistance, for which the funds are ALREADY THERE". That's some Jesus-level effing compassion, CHRISTIANS.

This. Exactly.
This is why conservatives are so against many things that would make America stronger, safer, and more economically successful, like free college, improved public education, healthcare, voting rights, DEI measures, etc. Because all these "woke" things infringe on the exclusivity of the "in" group.

This. Exactly.
Sounds pretty good to me!
Mike Johnson: "Imagine a scenario where they were in charge and they didn't have the filibuster. We would have nationalized elections, they would infringe on our 2A rights, they'd pack the Supreme Court, and they'd make Puerto Rico and DC states."

need a mike johnson doll that when you pull its string it says "I dont know. I haven't seen it."
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

I agree. As painful and awful as things are now, we will also have a chance to rebuild a country not beholden to Big Money, and one that truly serves the people. Mamdani is the type of Democrat leading the way. God bless him.

The US has revoked the visa of a Nobel Prize winner in literature after the author called President Trump "Idi Amin in whiteface." Nigerian Wole Soyinka, 91, said the US consulate told him to bring in his passport so it could be canceled in person. www.bbc.com/news/article...
