An Irish man held by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing. But Trump is losing — and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

Right now, it seems a good moment to recall the famous last stanza of Sir Richard Lovelace's poem, "To Althea: From Prison." Lovelace may have been a royalist, but his poem speaks to the a spirit of defiance in all those who oppose tyranny and injustice, whether crowned or empty-headed.

As

threatens today to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy U.S. troops in
#Minnesota
(after having provoked civil unrest by surging 3,000
