Everyone knows that there was a “reverse Underground Railroad” too, right? That there were gangs hunting down Black people — some self-emancipated, some born free, didn’t matter — and dragging them to a slave state? That it wasn’t just Solomon Northup, it was tens of thousands of people? Because ⬇️
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Millions are about to see huge increases in their healthcare premium costs.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

Holy shit.

Congressional candidate and anti-ICE warrior has just been charged with federal crimes for protesting at the Broadview detention center.

Watch this. And listen to what she has to say. FIND YOUR COURAGE.

The regime is terrified. It wouldn't be acting this way otherwise.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Here is Mike Johnson complaining he is tired.

40 million people are about to starve.

Rep. Grijalva was elected five weeks ago and he still hasn’t sworn her in.

AND YOU SAY YOU’RE TIRED?

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

Amen.
Please note that CNN is spreading RACIST DISINFO by leading you to believe the LIE that Mamdani's aunt WASN'T scared of racists post-9/11.

The only "pushback" here is a bullshit claim that one of Mamdani's aunt's isn't his aunt.

CNN is trafficking in right wing, racist trash.

Eternal shame.

Lawyers for the government tell Ellis it would be “frankly, dangerous” for her to ban agents from using tear gas.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs scoff at the notion that it would be dangerous to prevent agents from tear gassing residents of Chicago.

I rode the 1 train with Linsey Davis on the way to our ABC News interview yesterday, and talked about how in the wealthiest city in the world we can't simply accept that people have to sleep on the streets or the subways.

It's not a question of resources. It's a question of political will.

This is so crazy; expensive; inhumane; maniacal; Trumpian.
ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.
