A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year. The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
