And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

The double standard exposes the anti #Palestinian racism at the heart of not only #Israel, but the US and Europe as well. Palestinians are simply not seen as fully human in western capitals and media. That's why you just don't hear about so many #Israeli crimes.

Contrary to the administration’s contentions, “there was neither ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion’” in Oregon, the judge ruled. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Didn't the administration try to claim that this woman didn't even work at the daycare -- that she just happen to run into the building after fleeing an immigration stop? Seems pretty clear that was a lie.

Pls read. Justice Brown-Jackson is actually trying to strengthen the appeals case…. Sucks for now, but better if the full court hears the case
