On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons." The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

People want to have their basic needs met. They want to be paid a living wage. They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives. They do not want Venezuela. They do not want Greenland. They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🇩🇰🇬🇱 Denmark has deployed an advance military unit and equipment to Greenland to prepare for a possible larger force, - DR Danish Air Force aircraft has landed in Nuuk, though its role is unconfirmed.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Venezuela opposition reports the so called "capture" of Maduro was a negotiated deal between Maduro and US for an agreed exit strategy. We reported in November that this would be the case. The US bombed Venezuelan service members as part of a death theatre. #VenezuelaInvasion

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

This 66-year-old man has been in jail in Shelby County, Alabama, since June on a $400K bond for exercising his 1st Amendment right by posting anti-tRump signs in his own yard! Harassed by the locals until he put up fencing, then barbed wire and fireworks. #Pinks #ProudBlue #JerryLeeClark #Alabama

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "since Abrego Garcia's wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority."

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The Catholic Bishops Are Fighting FOR The Immigrants, and Against Chump and ICE.......

Tonight was a very bad night.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo flees New York.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

AOC: "The Supreme Court has given Trump a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and danger of this moment, but we cannot respond to that threat with cowardice."

Democratic women have made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

There’s nothing that can sum this up,

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Photos obtained by Law Dork show the dramatic extent of the first step in Trump's purported plan to build a new ballroom on White House grounds with private funds.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social
