Call these ‘detention centers’ by the right name: they are concentration camps. The nazis said their camps were places to which people were ‘deported’. Guards accountable to no outside authority, ran amok. Inmates ‘disappeared’ in them, losing any legal visibillity. Just as in the ICE centers.

He packed his lunch for Italy and is filled up a whole plane?

Worth listening to. Particularly striking that he explains how Trump intersects with Russian intelligence services. Chilling.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Epstein is being described by the Polish PM as a possible Russian spy. If so, it would explain a great deal. All the Epstein “evidence” would actually be kompromat taking in the rich and powerful to serve Kremlin interests. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I know there are some on here who think this won't happen, or that acknowledging the threat is voter suppression or something, but personally I would take this seriously

Allison Gill reveals she’s been in contact with a woman who reported trafficking tied to Trump’s modeling agency to the FBI. The tip appears on the Epstein file pages that went viral — the FBI interview is missing.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

New reports reveal that the UAE royal family secretly funneled $500M to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, just days before his inauguration and months before the President agreed to sell the UAE highly advanced AI chips that many fear would end up in the hands of China. 🧵

That child looks like he has been drugged.

He’s running a fever and throwing up. A child that young can die FAST from dehydration! Get him medical care and return him to his mother!!!!!!!!

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

This doctor’s statement needs to be re- posted, again and again.

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Donald Trump is mentally ill, and has dementia. This has been evident for a long time. Today it became clear that Keir Starmer is becoming co-dependent on him, as unskilled carers for the mentally ill often do, by trying to appease people who are sick.

A striking pattern has played out in the past year: powerful elites capitulate, lower ranking officials and civil servants refuse. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Schumer and Jeffries rose by making deals and, perhaps, fundraising. They have no idea how to lead the public. Neither the skills, nor the temperament, nor the experience, nor the innate ability, to organize and motivate ordinary people.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

The facts of this own-goal are correct. Britain has handed America £3 billion, which will come out of the NHS budget.

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

What is it about the likes of Reform that these invertebrates don't get? You don't negotiate with malevolent incompetents, as Yale and Harvard learned - and certainly not way in advance.

The former Massachusetts congressman praised California U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters for her decades of LGBTQ+ allyship at a recent PFLAG awards ceremony.

Well, he's certainly stayed consistent on that point!

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

Where is Kamala Harris? Where is Barack Obama?

Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel noted that "many of the people whose information was released were never informed that they were named in complaints & have no idea what information was released to the federal government. The release of this information has had a chilling effect on campus."

The release of personally identifiable information that was not relevant to the government’s Title VI investigation was improper. The Trump admin is investigating how the UC responded to claims of antisemitism, not the individuals named in the complaints. The AAUP condemns this move by UC Berkeley.

The great human rights scholar and advocate Connor Gearty has just died.

Attendees of this conference included members of a Chinese company accused of human rights abuses of Uyghurs, an issue I promise you the Islamophobic Trump admin could not give a whit about. It’s “omg we love Nazis but hate campus antisemitism” all over again. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...
