Great news: the courts will have a chance to rein in the abuses at Camp East Montana, the infamous tent camp built on Fort Bliss in El Paso. I have known seasoned veterans of this field who visited the camp and came away saying it was one of the worst ICE detention centers they’d ever been to.

No Kings in the USA! See you all in the streets!

Amid stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks, Israel has intensified its attacks across Lebanon and on Wednesday issued an evacuation order for all areas south of the Zahrani River — about 14% of the country. “It’s hard to see an end in sight,” says Ramzi Kaiss, researcher at Human Rights Watch.

Rep Brandon Gill asked a weird question to Jessica Waters, a senior scholar at the American University School of Public Affairs. He asked her what her “favorite type of abortion” is. I like the type that prevents women from dying from an ectopic pregnancy. @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

CARTOON OF THE DAY

On average, someone has died in ICE custody every 6 days this year, yet the agency is rapidly expanding detention by converting warehouses into immigration detention camps. ICE is putting lives at risk and must not move forward with this reckless plan.

Abortion access nationwide will be severely restricted, even in blue states after this. Will require in person dispensing. Pharmacies can no longer fill prescriptions and just stop dispensing. Providers like aid access may still be able to mail pills due to their setup.

The Roberts Court, their corruption, destruction of democracy, and overt racism must spurn the People of this nation to reform the Court, pass laws to protect Black Americans' rights...let this be the thing that pushes us to fight for VRA2 and radical reforms. The racists don't get to win this.

The GOP can't win unless they deprive millions of Americans their rights. They are an undemocratic, unAmerican party of cheaters and p3do protectors.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Wow! Chills!!! What a way to make a statement... #SheShed

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.
