🚨Italy detains our rescue ship #Aurora despite 71 people missing since the horrific Easter shipwreck in the Mediterranean. After rescuing 44 people stranded for FIVE DAYS on an abandoned oil platform, we now face a fine of up to €10,000 ➡️ sea-watch.org/en/italy-det...

I just finished this and EVERYONE should read it - they'll understand why DHS & CBP are ordained by the Supreme Court to engage in these practices. We were subject to them in Nogales AZ returning from Mexico - 2.5 hrs in a cement room w/no outside contact available. US citizens- thanks 4 the book

The Vice President’s parents-in-law came to the United States as foreign students, at the University of California.

This shipwreck could have been prevented if the @ec.europa.eu had created a search and rescue program. The dying at sea needs to stop - safe passages now!

“Once the Border Patrol operated primarily in the shadows of the borderlands,” Reece Jones writes. “After watching neighbors tear gassed, pepper-sprayed and beaten while exercising their right to observe police activity, it is impossible to look away.”

I wrote for the New York Times about how state violence that was hidden in the borderlands has burst into view in Minneapolis. The solution cannot be simply to send it back there www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
