Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

Happy Christmas to all our supporters. It is heartbreaking and shameful that this is the third December of apartheid Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. And the third year of no sanctions or end to Irish state complicity from our government. We will never stop fighting

Food shortages, tents filled with sewage, and medical neglect are the grim norm at ICE's Fort Bliss detention center.
Every new facility that ICE rushes to open is destined to be plagued by the same inhumane conditions unless Congress takes action.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
