DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

Obvious to everyone here but If you really want to understand what's happening and how to fight it, you need to look at U.S. History and American policing.

Just in case you’re still not boycotting CBS and Paramount … please watch this video.

One of the Survvior 50 contestants hurled antisemitic and cruel remarks at Eliza and the network is choosing to ignore it.

They’re once again proving to be nothing more than state sponsored propaganda.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Frederick Wiseman Dies at 96: The Documentary Legend Was One of Cinema’s Greatest Masters Wiseman's 50-plus year career started with a bang, "Titicut Follies," and only got better.

In film after film, Frederick Wiseman watched with preternatural patience as systems revealed themselves through the tenacious, irreducible vitality of the people inside them.

I kept returning to his films while reporting my book, hoping to absorb some of that patience.

Such a profound loss.

This is an *excellent* synoptic view of our authoritarian present that shows, among other things, that the crisis has long been "hiding in plain sight."

How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

My condolences to Al Blumstein's family and friends - what a remarkable career. He was one of the first criminologists whose work inspired my own and I still often reference his findings.
