The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

Platner as the nominee in Maine would make it harder for national Democrats to tear into this fucking guy.

He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.

Being a combat medic is hard core, though. That’s noteworthy.

An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.

Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.

The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

Recently, Angela Y. Davis said, β€œThe courage comes from a collective sense of strength. As one person, we can do very little. But as hundreds and thousands and millions of people, we can change the world.”

Man, @nicollewallace.bsky.social is interviewing a former national guard leader who was in Dubai when the war started and he is talking about how this government absolutely abandoned Americans and it was the UAE that got them out.

Just damning incompetence and failure.

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future β€œThis is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

"This isn't a border checkpoint. This is your neighborhood. ICE is now running facial recognition on phones β€” stopping people on the street, scanning faces in real time. What happens when the algorithm is wrong?"

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

I had five calls today with new and developing activists from Texas to Connecticut.

People are doing shit everywhere. And not small things.
