Dear Sec. Noem: Last week your spokesperson said this ICE officer’s excessively violent conduct was "unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE." The video evidence hasn’t changed. Does DHS now support ICE agents assaulting women in front of their children?

NEW: On behalf of the Democratic Party, today we filed our brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to defend a campaign finance law that has been on the books for more than 50 years from Republican attacks. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

HUD today fired two civil rights lawyers who spoke publicly about their whistleblower complaint over the Trump admin's cuts to the office that enforces fair housing laws.

MAGA America get ready

The government runs out of money TOMORROW. Democrats are ready to pass a bill to keep the government open AND stop massive increases in health care prices. Where are Republicans?

It appears the first direct deportation flights, two so far if this is accurate, have departed from Alligator Alcatraz (aka TNT) in the past few days.

Today we honor the birthday of Botham Jean—an innocent Black man shot in his own home by a Dallas officer. He should be here celebrating with loved ones. Instead, his family is left with only the memory of the promising young man. Your light still shines. Happy heavenly 34th birthday!

Chicago approved a $90M settlement for 180 Black residents framed with false drug charges by Sgt. Ronald Watts’ corrupt police unit — costing nearly 200 YEARS of wrongful prison time between 18 innocent people. This accountability was overdue.

Lt. Col. George Hardy, the last surviving Tuskegee Airman to fly WWII combat missions, has died at 100. He was among many firsts — the youngest Red Tail fighter pilot w/ the Tuskegee Airmen, the 1st Black aviators of the U.S. Armed Forces. His sacrifice paved the way for generations. Rest in Power.

True every time, but especially more so now...

NEW: Oregon says Trump/Hegseth’s deployment of 200 National Guard troops is an unconstitutional abuse of power. The case has been assigned to Judge Michael Simon, an Obama appointee (and nephew of Neil Simon!) www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Did I say two mass shootings in 24 hours? It was actually four. Waterfront bar in North Carolina. Casino in Texas. Bourbon Street in Louisiana. Church in Michigan. This is America. Every bullet is policy. Every corpse is a legislative choice. This is not freedom… it’s state-sponsored terrorism.

So exhausting..

Here you have an agent caught on body cam footage admitting he mocks migrants who ask for medical attention because he thinks they are “animals.”

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Project 2025 is in hyper drive. They’re getting scared. They know the number of people not accepting this new way of life is growing.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

1/2 With ABC News reporting Count 1 in Comey Indictment is about Comey allegedly authorizing Daniel Richman (not McCabe) to be anonymous source to media. A problem for DOJ is Comey can claim Senator Cruz's poorly worded question conflated it with McCabe, so he thought was answering about McCabe:

We stood with Tyre Sampson’s family after his tragic death at ICON Park. Now, after the heartbreaking loss of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala on the Stardust Racers ride at Epic Universe, we are demanding transparency. This ride must be shut down until we have answers about what happened to Kevin.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

When I tell you that BlackPast has been my literal lifeline since like....2018!! It's a big reason I have memorized all the dates I have stored in my head. BlackPast and BlackFacts were my "teacher" before i became a bibliophile. I owe this man who i didnt know ✊🏾

The Comey indictment coupled with today’s executive order targeting so-called antifa groups and supporters is another significant acceleration in our descent as a nation to one marked by overt political retribution and absolute abuse of executive power. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Hegseth has called for a rare and urgent meeting involving hundreds of generals and admirals. Everybody needs to relax, payday is Tuesday and Oktoberfest is approaching soon, so all these guys need a Safety Briefing from the new War guy.

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Serious medical incidents happen at Alligator Alcatraz, for example, a detained person had surgery for hemorrhoids and another suffered a cardiac incident. In one case the family thought their loved one was dead for days due to being unable to get in contact with that person.

Trump rushed to condemn “radical left Democrats” for a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, but he still hasn’t said a word about the shooting of a Black police officer at the CDC in Atlanta. Instead, he undermines confidence in our institutions with his constant political interference.

Black Public Media (BPM) is fighting back after losing $1.8 million in federal funding. The Harlem-based nonprofit has launched the Black Stories Production Fund to raise $9 million over two years.
