Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.

Haitian immigrants moved to Colorado on the promise of a good job and a place to stay—only to be mistreated. Now, they could be deported

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

It may be—for now—a mild form of fascism. Political opponents aren’t being jailed or shot, entire opposition media outlets aren’t being shuttered, and books aren’t being burned.

But from Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America. trib.al/a0i8hTE

Because antifa is not a cartel or an organization this can literally only mean going after leftists in general

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

In addition to destroying ICE and DHS, we should probably start thinking about a reparations framework. If they keep records on which officers conduct arrests, we could make individual officers liable to pay damages to their victims.

There are only two paths forward: trying and sentencing Stephen Miller for crimes against humanity (in this world, it's a capital punishment) or no humanity. That's it!

The NYT can't wrap its mind around the idea that not every politician is a piece of shit like their guy.

Mamdani has the right policies and ideas for NYC and its residents. His voters love him.

Trump lies to his base and is bad for the country. His voters love him.

But the same, right

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Fun fact: last week I got my royalty statement. It was for the last 6 months, and it was for my two books that have been banned.

Just so you know how rich we get off banned books, that check was a whopping $51.

No, not a badge of honor. No, not money-making. KIDS JUST LOSE ACCESS TO BOOKS.
