happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
— A disabled, incontinent prisoner had his wheelchair confiscated and was given just 3 adult diapers a week.
— Starving prisoners were forced to kneel w/ hands cuffed behind their backs and eat their food like dogs.
Just 2 of many newly documented horrors inside Israeli prisons.
Hitler’s 1st concentration camp was specifically created for political enemies or “persons who endanger the security of the state.”
The earliest prisoners were:
journalists, editors, writers, lawyers, priests, trade union leaders, & liberal politicians.
Anyone who could influence public opinion.
Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.

every improvement in measurement finds worse news. thats not uncertainty. thats the answer
Bernie Sanders just said it plain:
“Tonight, Democrats voted with Republicans to raise healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way to kick 15 million off Medicaid. 60,000 will die every year, so the rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.”
This was a betrayal of working people.
Wild that we still have to say this in 2025 but here we go:
There is no such thing as a “teen prostitute.”
If someone is under 18, they cannot consent.
No consent = not a prostitute.
They are and were trafficking victims. Full stop.
That careless language is exactly why predators like Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell got away with it for so long.
Stop using terms that protect abusers and blame kids.
