Al Jazeera English’s Fault Lines investigated several recent deaths of detained immigrants at California’s Adelanto Processing Center.

It's time to shake the table this November.

When we win, we need to deliver. If we do not, the backlash will be severe. Our nation and the world cannot bear that. We need to not only defeat Trumpism, but tackle the conditions that led to its rise.

The possibility of the Democrats taking control of the Senate this November makes the stakes especially high. Musk could become the target of congressional investigations, while his companies might be affected by bills related to tech and AI regulation.

With book bans on the rise, I want to recognize Banned Books Week. Banning books threatens our First Amendment rights and censors critical voices that deserve to be heard. We must continue to support our libraries and educators to protect the freedom to read for all Americans.

“No matter how much extra carbon we throw in the atmosphere, no matter how many gas generators we deploy, no matter how much water we waste-all the money and energy (both of which could be put to much better use) is not going to produce the spark that will create this artificial super-intelligence.”

Good list @rokhanna.bsky.social

DHS was founded out of a profound national trauma. But we cannot add new pains to old ones. We must heal old pain and create new opportunities.

Today, I am proud to announce the Reimagining Safety Act, a community-led roadmap to establish the Department of Community Safety, dismantle DHS, abolish ICE and CBP, and reinvest resources in our communities.

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor discuss their new book, "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World."

We never punished the people who authorized torture and the last 20+ years of our politics are a consequence of that.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation. n.pr/4xPdcvp

One of the biggest legacies of 9/11 was the rapid growth of mass surveillance. Whether it's the PATRIOT Act, Palantir, or Flock cameras, Americans don't want more erosions of our civil liberties in the name of "security."

The United States: where giving a frail voter waiting in the Georgia sun a glass of water is punishable by a year in prison, but the president can offer everyone $5k to vote for his party.

The people who organized, marched, went on strike, and fought for things we now take for granted like weekends, the 40-hour workweek, overtime, safer workplaces, and the right to organize. It’s worth remembering that none of that was just handed over because companies suddenly decided to be nice.

happy labor day

“public safety“….

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

we have immigrant concentration camps, diarrhea lettuce, zillion dollar gas, suicidal soldiers, measles resurgence, national park land sold to the highest bidder and teachers crowdfunding school supplies, but the real problems facing our country are a muslim senate candidate and an influencer

The amount the Trump regime has spent waging war on Iran could have... -Funded free school lunches for every child -Lowered health insurance premiums for 20 million people -Doubled the National Park Service budget -Fully funded public radio and television ...with money left over. Priorities.

Switching from Flock to another ALPR provider or other police surveillance technology isn't a fix, EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @NPR.org. "You're just replacing one color of camera for another. Those dangers you were concerned about are still going to be there."

Let's talk about real "public safety." The more societies spend on social control, the less they have left for social investment. But social controls are both deadly and unsustainable, requiring more oppressive means of terrorizing communities and draining resources that actually help people.

just quietly showing us all another way is possible.✨

"This isn’t just meant to stop liberals from engaging in anti-ICE activism. It’s meant to destroy trust among activists, who must now constantly worry about whether HSI has infiltrated them. It’s meant to drive out of public life anyone the administration disfavors." — @snipy.bsky.social

“They’re Fascists”: Silicon Valley Journalist Gil Durán on “The Nerd Reich” Takeover of U.S. Politics https://www.democracynow.org/2026/8/17/theyre_fascists_silicon_valley_journalist_gil

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

After significant pressure from protesters for financing private prison companies that work with ICE, Citizens Bank has divested from CoreCivic and the GEO Group. “The pressure became too much for Citizens to bear, and they had to do the right thing.”

Billionaire logic is that it makes more sense to terraform Mars rather than to stop venusifying Earth, and that it is a better strategy to build underground bunkers than to make the whole planet a better place to live for everyone.

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

We found that thousands of parents have been separated from U.S. citizen children and at least 79 kids were doused with chemical agents. 🗓️ On July 21, join us for a virtual discussion on how children have been caught in Trump's immigration crackdown: https://propub.li/4fiHDSF

we must never forget that tom homan is a bitch

It’s really this simple

We are clear: ICE a danger to our community. We must abolish it! My Melt ICE Act would strip DHS of its authority and prohibit them from using funds to detain or monitor immigrants. Every Member of Congress should be a cosponsor of H.R. 7190. Let’s get it done!

Immigration and civil rights advocacy groups are demanding an independent investigation into the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant and father of three who was killed by ICE agents in Houston on Tuesday morning.

ICE fatally shot a man in Texas. His son reportedly witnessed the death.   The greatest threat to our safety is DHS. CBP and ICE continue to violently attack our neighbors and trample the rights of our residents.   Enough is enough! We must pass my Melt ICE Act and dismantle DHS!

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting

Record Heat Waves Are Preview of Our Future on a Warming Planet: Climate Writer David Wallace-Wells

I interviewed a former prosecutor yesterday who said this one thing that I cannot stop thinking about : “I think the most radical thing I learned from becoming a prosecutor is how much violence women face in this country and how little people care.”

A new PBS documentary, 'Woody Guthrie and the Ghost of Tom Joad Today,' revisits his work in the 1930s and 1940s and shows how it's connected to today's aggressive ICE enforcement under President Donald Trump.
