A federal judge has ordered a hearing to determine whether the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia stems from a vindictive prosecution, citing evidence that it may be. Thank you!

“Israel's attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla is a crime against international law.

We demanded that Israel immediately release any detainees.

The EU must sever relations with Israel now.”

El ataque de Israel contra la Flotilla Global Sumud es un crimen contra el derecho internacional.

“President Trump told a gathering of military leaders Tuesday they should use American cities as “training grounds” and described a federal crackdown on crime in major cities as necessary due to “a war from within.””

We don't want a shutdown. We are opposing any budget deal that threatens to gut healthcare and gives Trump a blank check for his extremist agenda.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Gwynne Hogan @gwynnefitz.bsky.social · 22d

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

We thought No Kings Day in June would be a good protest. We did not know it would break records, with 2,169 protests in every state and 27 countries.

Yesterday Ben Habib, leader of Advance UK, formerly Reform, refused to condemn Elon Musk’s speech at the far right #UniteTheKingdom rally.

Our spokesperson @seemasyeda.bsky.social debated him on BBC Radio 5 Live, where he defended the ‘carnival’ of hate supported by the US billionaire oligarchy.
