“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life. ... It is frightening in there... It is disgusting.” - @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines” while fighting back tears. Shocking reporting: azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

Not even anything to rally *against* Trump Commitments to block all confirmations? Not at all (see Tim Kaine, like last week). Dem consensus in the House for impeachments? Nope, about half of the caucus has yet to come out in favor. Planned demands based on upcoming appropriations leverage? None

U.N. Warns Nearly 1,000 Asylum Seekers Have Died Attempting to Cross Mediterranean in 2026

OOOF, all of the wage growth over the last year erased in one month

Trump is STILL trying to take $10,000,000,000 of taxpayer money for himself. I vehemently oppose this and call on congressional Republicans to do the same!

The U.S. is reinforcing its military presence in the Middle East ahead of upcoming U.S.–Iran negotiations in Pakistan. Fighter and attack aircraft have already arrived. 1,500–2,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division may deploy soon.

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

NEW: The Board of Immigration Appeals just denied Mahmoud Khalil’s bid to throw out his deportation case. However, Mahmoud can't be legally detained again until his habeas appeals process is exhausted in federal court. We'll keep defending his right to live in this country and speak freely.

"March’s persistent heat was so intense that the continental US registered its most abnormally hot month in 132 years of records ... Not only was it the hottest March on record for the US, but the amount it was above normal beat any other month in history for the Lower 48 states." Probably fine.

They were going to all of their appointments. And now their teachers, their peers at Burton Elementary, and Durham neighborhood are left missing them tremendously. Genesis, Denis and their parents were abducted without warning at a routine Charlotte immigration check-in on Monday.

bit.ly/4t7G2EU President Donald Trump promised to cut Americans’ electricity bills in half, but costs have increased. It’s becoming an aggravating issue for voters, even deep in Trump country where some fed-up West Virginians are paying more for power than mortgages.

All that remains of the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.

EXCLUSIVE: Last year, ICE arrested a Connecticut man who served as an interpreter with U.S. forces in Afghanistan. On Monday, it arrested his son. My latest @ctinsider.bsky.social story — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

Workers in the US are obviously not the primary victims of US imperialism, but they are abandoned and fleeced by the same war state that kills countless people abroad. From blood banks to food pantries, a snapshot of a country whose raison d’etre is increasingly open sadism and violence. My latest.

While Judge Hurson’s decision on the preliminary injunction will not resolve the case, it will determine whether ICE can continue preparing the site while the lawsuit proceeds — or whether the project is paused during further review.

After Trump and congressional Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire last year, over 120,000 Pennsylvanians had to drop their health insurance because it’s become too unaffordable. This is the reality of the GOP-created health care crisis.

Lebanon’s 10 minutes from hell ft.trib.al/QH0YsC9

Less than one day after the Trump administration agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran, Israel struck Lebanon in its heaviest and deadliest attack on the country since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began. At least 250 deaths have been reported.

U.S. House of Representatives Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to end U.S. attacks on Iran, as Donald Trump's party continued to prevent efforts to rein in the Republican president's war powers.

And to be clear, there are still students out on the streets, facing real harm in order to show what's happening in the country.

Hey Chair Comer, now that Melania is calling for a hearing with survivors, can we finally have one? We've been trying for months. The survivors deserve better.

“The American economy grew at a sluggish 0.5% annual pace from October through December of 2025, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in downgrade of its previous estimate…For all of 2025, the economy grew 2.1% last year, slower than 2.8% in 2024 and 2.9% in 2023.” apnews.com/article/econ...

Automatic draft registration: streamlined, efficient. Automatic voter registration: creeping deep state tyranny.

Again I’d like to point to all of the high school student walk outs that have been happening for months In Los Angeles even the middle school students are involved

This is sick and twisted from anyone, much less the president of the United States. Trump’s genocidal language and indiscriminate warfare cannot be normalized or accepted. He should be removed from office.

Speaker Johnson, instead of letting Congress sit back and watch our President threaten genocide, bring us back into session. Only the Cabinet can invoke the 25th, but we can and should be voting on a War Powers resolution to put a stop to his war crimes right now.

IDF issued an evacuation order for Beirut’s Jnah area, which incl 2 major hospitals: Rafik Hariri Univ Hospital and Al Zahraa Hospital. WHO confirms “there are no medical facilities able to receive ~ 450 patients from the 2 hospitals (incl 40 ICU patients), evacuation is operationally unfeasible.“

Pakistan Air Force established a "protective shield" across Iran and Persian Gulf supported by fighter jets & AWACS to protect Iranian delegation. The delegation arrives tonight in Islamabad.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.
