The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating floods across Texas—those who have lost loved ones & those still searching. Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead. TX-30 stands with you.

Wondering why your 4th of July barbeque feels more expensive than last year? Well, it is: since Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs, cookout costs have risen at a 12.7% rate. Is this what “freedom” is supposed to look like?

As Texas officials point to the National Weather Service failing to predict the amount of rain that caused this tragedy, it’s fair to wonder if the cuts made to the dept that many warned about played a role here. (Now add FEMA cuts & hospital closures)

You don’t have to love America right now. Not the one under assault from a vengeful despot. But I do hope you care enough to reflect on the commitment of our founders to form a union & free the new nation from a mad king and the yoke of oppression—care enough to be willing to fight for America now.

Mike Lawler told me, to my face, he would not vote for a bill that cut a single penny of benefits from Medicaid. Mike Lawler got MAD at me when I called him a liar for moving the bill forward. And now he broke his promise AGAIN. Mike Lawler is a liar and a fraud. And a terrible lay.

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.
