Private prisons making $1.4 billion charging corrupt ICE bureaucracy $307,000 “per bed” as top 15 cops in San Francisco make average of $700,000 is why shifting resources from systems of incarceration to systems of care is one of the most popular policies in 40 years of polling.

Court documents show undercover agents attending months of events at churches and libraries in Minneapolis.

Agents repeatedly write how organizers inside urged peaceful, non violent protest while agents in the parking lot collected license plate information from attendees.

Q: If you're elected governor, what's the first thing you want to do?

FRANCESCA HONG: We want to make sure we call a special session for the legislation on a moratorium on data centers

Sound up.

This video is from my bedroom this morning, side by side with a live map of all armed surveillance drones circling over Lebanon. The one I zoom in on is the one you can hear in the video.

They are loud and they are low, and we never know when or who they will strike next.

We are living in a hell created by billionaires profiting from the defense industry.

Drones are already being tested out by some American police departments.

The idea is to find a group of people most people regard as terrible examples, use them to make revoking passports a more acceptable form of punishment, then expand it from there.

If we wanted to win Ohio, we would focus on voter registration in Cleveland to reenroll voters targeted in the illegal voter roll purges and organize each neighborhood + suburb. Registering voters & talking to them is what works. We should try that before shrinking the tent

[Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin]

If Democrats want to win, we have to listen to the middle of the country. What works on the coasts doesn't automatically work in places like Michigan, Iowa, or Ohio. Figure out what works in the middle, and the rest follows.

Everyone should read what the Israeli military did to journalist Amal Khalil today in this minute-by-minute account as the international community watched in horror. First the text messages threatening her then trapping her and a photographer in a house then bombing them then firing on international rescue crews, all with the world watching in real time. There are no words left for the horrors that U.S. political leaders are enabling.

BREAKING— two Palestinians, including a child, killed and several other children injured in an ongoing Israeli attack on a school in the village of Mughayer northeast of Ramallah.

This is second attack of its kind in the last 24 hours, and comes after a convoy for an Israeli minister ran over and killed a child in Hebron, south of the West Bank.

Israelis are carrying out intensified and increasingly violent attacks in the West Bank with the purpose of dispossessing Palestinians from their homes and lands.

Here is the name of every senator that should be voted out after this unprecedented and abhorrent vote. They favor a foreign mining companies over our own country. There is a bullseye on all public lands by greedy capitalists starting today #VoteThemOut

Very, very sad to report that Hayam El Gamal, mother of 5 kids detained at Dilley for 10+ months, has suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE.

We can now share the following:

For many weeks Ms. El Gamal has been concerned about a growth on her chest that has caused pain for many weeks. She has made complaints to Dilley staff and ICE repeatedly but has been denied a visit to an outside doctor. She had specifically made requests for a CT scan to identify the lump and the source of her pain.

On Thursday April 8, a doctor at Dilley told her that he had put in a request for a CT scan but "higher ups" in either ICE or CoreCivic overrode his request, and so no scan was conducted. Medical records show she had been demanding help since February, at which time she said her pain had been already worsening for 8 weeks. A doctor at Dilley said the lump in her chest was merely a bone.

Mid-morning on Friday April 9, Ms. El Gamal began experiencing excruciating pain which she rated an 11 out of 10. She described the pain as being stabbed through the back to the stomach. At about 11 AM central time she began pleading with officials for painkillers and medical attention. After two hours of asking for help (at around 1 PM central time) she was taken to an off-site emergency room. While there she received lab work and, finally, a CT scan. The CT scan confirmed that the lump was not a bone, but it did not reveal what the lump was.

The scan also showed she has "fluid around the heart." The ER doctor recommended an ultrasound to determine what was causing the pain, but this was denied. Ms. El Gamal was told she had to go back to Dilley and was not given the ultrasound. We do not know if the lump is cancerous, all we know is that the pain is increasing, the incidents are becoming worse and worse, and she is not receiving proper diagnosis that could lead to proper treatment.

After 10 months in detention, Ms. El Gamal remains in pain. We are concerned that the systematic denial of medical attention may result in her death. Her children are extremely worried about their mother, who is now their only guardian. Her five year old child has been denied the right to go to a dentist for 13 cavities. Her 16 year old son was told to take tylenol when he suffered from acute appendicitis. All of the children are suffering from depression.

Please join us in demanding the El Gamal's immediate release so that she can acquire the urgent medical attention she desperately needs. This family has suffered enough.

i made a map to monitor data centers all around the world

tracks construction + nearby power plants + local AI legislation, and follows the politicians behind their bans (+ if they're getting paid to do so!)

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
