Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

“Israel aims to establish a greater Jewish state from the Euphrates to the Nile. All Arabs are threatened, not only Palestinians. Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan—all are threatened.”

From Maryland to Texas, residents fighting data centers tell us the same thing: “It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on. It’s coming for all of us. And if we don’t all wake up and work together, we’re lost.”

The criminals shredding our laws and Constitution while shouting "law and order" continue to wage war on any institution that would hold them accountable for their crimes...

“Every president across party lines has poured money into ICE,” author and immigrant justice organizer @harshawalia.bsky.social tells us.

Few countries in the world have fought disinformation as actively as #Brazil. Now, the US is pushing to roll it back in the name of US-style “free speech.” New episode from @freespeechbattle.bsky.social

“We don’t expect the truth from the Department of Justice or from the FBI,” said the president of a legal group advocating for the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. “We expect a whitewash.”

Major outlets have evoked Israel’s ‘right to exist’ 1,001 times vs. only 6 for Palestine: by @ahjohnson.bsky.social

Across the country, in cities and rural areas, locals are pushing elected officials to introduce data center regulations and pause new construction

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

Establishment Democrats have racked up disastrous electoral losses over the past decade—so why are they furious when their own party actually wins?

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

As the United States of America limps its way across the 250-year mark, I’m asking myself the same question you’re probably asking yourself this July 4 weekend. "What, exactly, are we supposed to be celebrating right now?"... 🧵

More data centers and toxic disasters are coming to America, and your community may be next. This is how to fight back. W/ @govacctproj.bsky.social @rwu-org.bsky.social & @nikifabs2024.bsky.social

“The Black Panther Party’s embracing of socialism was clearly with the acknowledgement that this was an alternative to the present condition, but it was independent. What I see today with people is they’re trying to bring socialist politics into this bourgeois democratic political arena.”

From AI data centers to toxic industrial disasters, the USA has become a deregulated, corporate captured “sacrifice zone.” Now, a history-changing coalition of chemically impacted communities, workers, whistleblowers, and others is rising to fight back.
