Soulless ghoul, Stephen Miller, has ordered DHS officials to have “inhumane” & "cruel" detention facilities. ICE is still on our streets terrorizing men, women, & children. I share one of the latest horrors in NJ & explain how ICE may be violating yet another court order: youtu.be/aA8UE8DDmPw?...

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Journeys to destinations including El Salvador and Venezuela could take days and cost millions. Officials cautioned that discussions are still preliminary.

When Jon Husted voted against the release of the Epstein files, he chose to protect predators and enablers instead of fighting for survivors like Annie Farmer, Sharlene Rochard, and Wendy Pesante. I’m honored to be joined by these women in our fight to hold pedophiles and their enablers accountable.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Marco Rubio has a meltdown when asked about Kimberly Guilfoyle: "I'm not playing this game ... you guys are not gonna be our only source of information in the world. I'm sorry to tell you that. No... I don't even know if what you're reporting is true." (It's true! The Journal has her text messages!)

THIS is why an independent prosecutor is essential in the Cornell case. How could the Tompkins County DA's Office refuse to consider additional evidence before deciding not to pursue criminal charges?? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/n...

Records show that campus police officers informed Tompkins County prosecutors that they had conducted additional interviews beyond taking a statement from the woman who said she was raped.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

For the Tompkins County DA to go from "I recognize the reality that it can take years of therapy & healing for victims of sexual assaults to fully process & understand what happened to them" to "the evidence did not support the filing of criminal charges was legally correct" makes my blood boil. 1/
