We’re in court challenging ICE’s denial of access to legal counsel to people held at the detention center cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz."

Also, it is not lost upon us how the Democratic leadership and establishment has repeatedly failed to show up for Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and others.
Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.
No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.
Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.
The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

Ignore the New York Times. Trump is *pretending* to "change course" in Minneapolis as a ruse. Little has changed on the streets. Trump is just feigning a change in tack to placate Congress members calling for hearings and to wait out the horrible PR nightmare ICE has created for the White House.

The United Nations reports Israel displaced over 37,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in 2025, a new record.
The main driver was Israel's military operations in refugee camps across the northern West Bank, but thousands were also displaced due to home demolitions and settler violence.
