Luis Sandoval is the 60th person to die in ICE custody. From Folkston ICE Facility to El Valle Detention Center, ICE detention is deadly.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Abolishing ICE won't mean much if the people doing things like this are just allowed to mosey on to some other police job afterward

The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.

yup.
This weekโs main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you โa very young boy.โ

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Five days. Ten Palestinian children killed by #israel in #Gaza.

one thing thatโs incredibly difficult to come to terms with is that isr**l is killing children (specifically little girls) faster than the man honoring one every Sunday can keep up with.
Today, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair has announced that he will honor 8-year-old Fatima Al-Bayook, who lost her entire family in an Israeli airstrike in 2023 and survived two days beneath the rubble, only to be shot and murdered by Israeli forces in Gaza two days ago.

With 83% of the vote counted nationwide, Lula has stretched his lead to 2.8 million votes. That's a lead of 51.4% to 48.6%. That puts him on track for a victory that could be larger than his 1.8% win four years ago, which would be an immense comeback. He's even up in Minas Gervais now, by 0.6%.

"Alexander says he didnโt come back to Ingram to help deport his neighbors... he just ended up making it part of his job. Alexander and Ingramโs other patrol officer had delivered at least 70 people to immigration agents. Within a year, they would hand over the equivalent of 10% of Ingram to ICE."

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: โI donโt think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myselfโ

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

U.S. citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was brutally detained by ICE in Long Beach while he yelled for help and said his arm was broken. This is a pattern of abuse and violence from ICE. No one is safe and our communities are being terrorized. We need ICE out.

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.
this is the same thing as democrats embracing the idea that immigrants are a threat and validating the notion that something needs to be โdoneโ about them. you cannot out-bigot the party of bigots. you are simply a republican if you think and validate these ideas.
