Immigrants make our society better. There is no viable “moderate” anti-immigration position that does not boil down to using state violence to protect a racialized oligarchy. In 2026, there can be no justification for preventing the free movement of the working class into the US.
This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.
Tragedy and Farce: “To-day the United States is practically sovereign on this continent, and its fiat is law upon the subjects to which it confines its interposition.” Secy of State Olney, 1895

Hakeem Jeffries gives Trump a B+, with minor feedback, for the wildly illegal, unconstitutional, imperial, colonial kidnapping of Maduro and plan for U.S. oil companies to pillage Venezuela.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.
For their anti-immigrant, white nationalist post about 100 million deportations, DHS stole the artwork of a non-white foreigner: Japanese illustrator Hiroshi Nagai.
Apparently no white Americans were available to design an image. View Nagai's work here: hiroshinagai.com/contents.html
Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"
It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
Am I reading this correctly?
A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza?

When Biden’s bombs began eviscerating Gaza and its hospitals, I was caring for a late stage cancer patient, and my mind went naturally to those caring for sick relatives there, left with no care, power, water, food, or hope.
