I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Starmer slams Trump:

"Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House... for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland."

Popok: He meets with so many people in the White House, from reporters to oligarchs to bootlickers and sycophants. Has he ever invited you or any of the survivors to meet with him in the White House?

Minneapolis residents have joined a church-run effort to donate groceries to immigrant families who fear being caught in public by federal agents. What started with a couple of hundred deliveries a week has quickly swelled into a vast operation involving thousands of volunteers. trib.al/1qT1xMw

Trump cut funding to universities and slashed the federal work force.

He dropped out of the Paris Climate Agreement, opened nearly a million square miles of ocean floor to drilling and tried to stop new wind power projects.

He sent the National Guard into American cities to police the citizenry.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

THIS is how it's done Justin JONES! Side note: Hannity is vile. Invites people on his show to shout at them and talk over them? He's psychotic!

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
