Contaminated food, rancid water, and no access to health care — these are the horrifying conditions at the Delaney Hall detention facility, where ICE agents pepper sprayed Senator Andy Kim for trying to do his job.

Trump’s Un-American War Against Immigrants Continues. Don’t Forget About It: An ICE facility in NJ won’t let the Governor of NJ inside. A U.S. citizen, mother of four, shows her ID’s to ICE agents and they still shackle her and detain her. And the Trump administration is trying to change a 70yr old…

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only do corporate media readers have no idea that this is a year-long war with lulls but *no ceasefires or deals*—just Trump lies intended to manipulate markets so he and his pals can profit—but they don't know how bad America is losing.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Martin Soto went out to buy diapers for his children when he was detained. Now his wife is sleeping outside Delaney Hall begging to see him. Officials are reportedly trying to transfer detainees involved in the hunger strike to try to end it. Something is very wrong with this country. #SheShed

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’m glad the ACLU is suing but this is yet another example of how state and local leaders are opting to leave their own constituents to the wolves. I understand why it’s a very difficult decision to restrict federal actions, and why they just want to wait it out. But that is an abdication of duty

4/ Then there is fusion engine. ICE is paying Palantir $30 million to build ImmigrationOS, pulling Medicaid records, IRS files, license plate reads, and Social Security data into one targeting platform. The ACLU has breakdown. Once that exists, it does not get unbuilt www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

They are trying to delete history, piece by piece

U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship in the United States. Ask: “Am I free to leave?” Say: “I choose to remain silent.” Say: “I do not consent to a search.” Fight ICE, fight Trump, fight fascism with constitutional and lawful advice: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

NEW: Colorado’s League of Women Voters has withdrawn a planned “Leader of Democracy” Award for Gov Jared Polis after he gave clemency to Tina Peters.

The income gap is about to get insane and the govt is doing nothing about it

Rep. McGovern hits the nail on the head again: it took YEARS to get 9/11 victims compensated. But Trump easily found a way to give a bunch of convicted criminals & conmen our hard-earned 💰. This slush fund is a slap in the face to every law-abiding, tax paying citizen. Of course Trump is neither.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

Breaking: The New York Times just reported that well over 100k children have been separated from their parents since Trump’s second term began, and a majority of them are American citizens. We are torturing them. Please. Call your reps and tell them NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE! 5 calls has a script

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

🚨NEWS: Republicans just pulled a vote on an Iran War Powers Resolution because they knew they were going to lose. They don’t have the guts to end a war that’s costing BILLIONS of dollars and putting lives at risk while driving up the cost of gas & groceries.

Mike Johnson just canceled the vote to end Trump’s war in Iran after it became clear that the measure would pass. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

New from me: Some of Donald Trump’s favorite world leaders have been scoundrels, bullies, and dictators. The China summit showed, yet again, that such men can both intimidate and flatter Trump into taking their side, even against the United States. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Congress already handed DHS $191 BILLION. Now Trump and Stephen Miller want $70 billion MORE for mass deportation with no oversight, no reform, and no respect for due process. This isn’t safety. It’s cruelty with a price tag. Congress must say no. Learn more: americasvoice.org/press_releas...

The U.S. national debt approached $39 trillion as analysts warned about long-term inflation

Donald Trump wants to create a $1.7 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay January 6 insurrectionists and his political allies. This is quite literally corruption paid for by the American people.

My Former Political Party Is To Blame. They Created This Fascist Monste: Donald Trump is doing something unprecedented, completely wrong, and utterly corrupt. He’s stealing $1.8 billion from American taxpayers to give to his political friends and use against his political enemies. Who’s to blame…

A corrupt sociopath sits in the White House because the Republican Party wanted power more than democracy. Trump voters made the deal. Republican leaders signed off on it. Now the country is paying for it.

Rising gasoline prices pushed inflation to its highest level in almost three years in April. Consumer prices were up 3.8% from a year ago. n.pr/42uYCuY

The American people deserve to know what is happening inside these facilities. Congressional oversight is how they find out. A policy designed to make oversight more difficult is a policy designed to keep the public in the dark.

President Donald Trump has withheld federal funds and slow-walked assistance to Democratic-led states that anger him. States are fighting back in the courts. Kevin Hardy and @jonshorman.bsky.social report for @statesnewsroom.com: tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/11/r...

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.

I fail to comprehend why the state assembly can’t simply use the new map under the legal theory that the OG state constitutional amendment the voters changed wasn’t posted for 90 days either.

Exclusive: In letter 40 lawmakers demand the FAA address allegations of mistreatment of immigrants and the ‘urgent need for transparency’

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

Former Confederate states are trying to lock Black and Brown Americans out of political power.
