Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country. First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

There was real debate on whether this kind of torture was justified to use on members of Al Qaeda who were a threat to America (spoiler: it wasn’t) So why the fuck is it being used on refugees just trying to make a better life for themselves?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period. We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Crockett on Homan: For instance, when you are talking about solicitation, and it has to do with, say, prostitution, it's not a matter of whether or not the prostitution took place. The solicitation is complete. Once you actually engage in the agreement, that is enough for solicitation.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.
