🚨"They're sent back to be kidnapped or slaughtered!"
Lucky Philistine, a member of the Haitian American community in Ohio, spoke up at the vigil for 20-year-old student Pierre Damas Bel, who recently took his own life after being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE agents. Since June 2026, more and more Haitians in the U.S. are being abducted and required to wear ankle monitors after the Trump administration abruptly ended their Temporary Protected Status, a move deemed unlawful by the ACLU and many human rights group.

A whistleblower just confirmed Trump's mail-ballot verification system is broken enough to lose or reject people's ballots ahead of the midterms.
I am calling for an immediate stop to this rollout, and I am demanding that USPS leadership come before Congress to testify under oath.
The American people deserve answers before a single ballot is put at risk.
Louisiana is imprisoning people beyond their release dates. Multiple people are filing a class-action lawsuit for being detained after courts had authorized their freedom.
One woman said she lost over 100 days.
A previous departmental review found that over 2,000 people were overdetained annually by an average of roughly 71 days. Between 2012 and recent years, roughly 25% to 27% of people released from state custody were held past their legal release date.
Millions of dollars in taxpayer funds are paying jails to incarcerate people who are legally free.
This is obviously an egregious violation of basic civil liberties. Regardless of how we may personally feel about any incarcerated individuals, the continuation of captivity after the state's legal authority has expired is basically kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Detaining an individual past the expiration of their court-ordered sentence is a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This should be much bigger news.
Our federal government has an obligation to put an end to unconstitutional overdetention.
Disgusting. The U.S. is treating AI-generated child sexual abuse material as constitutionally protected speech, while simultaneously escalating efforts to restrict speech, protest, boycotts, and political expression when it comes to opposing Israel and Zionism.
Wait. So a woman in the military was raped by her commanding officer, because he used his key to sneak into her quarters, and a judge just decided that being raped was "one of her duties" and declared it a workplace accident??????????
Who the fuck is this judge? How does one even come to that conclusion??
As a LIFELONG caregiver to my disabled parents, that is a large share of our healthcare, nursing aide, and hospitality industry in chains headed on those planes. People who are and have been the BACKBONE of our communities.
God help us.
Nearly two weeks without power is not simply an inconvenience. It means spoiled food, disrupted businesses, lost communication, unbearable heat, and families wondering when help will finally come.
What is happening in Gary, Indiana, raises a deeper question about whose communities are treated with urgency. Black communities have too often been expected to endure neglect, absorb the consequences, and keep surviving.
No community should have to prove that its families are worthy of immediate care.
Our communities deserve more than survival. Black communities deserve to be valued.

Black people in Gary, Indiana have gone without power for almost 2 weeks. Democratic politicians could be speaking about this and doing something to help, but they would rather spend all their time talking about how American Jews are somehow the most victimized in this country.
Apparently there’s been a blackout in Gary, Indiana that’s been going on for a week???? And folks are getting robbed and b34ten. Why is there nothing in the news or online trending about this?
Remember, kids. To Catch a Predator wasn't cancelled because they caught someone who was transgender or a drag queen. It was cancelled because they caught an assistant district attorney who hit the escape button rather than face the consequences of his actions.
The death of Jason Arday hit so close to home that I had no words yesterday. But I woke up with words.
To be a prominent antiracist Black scholar is to know you are a target, almost totally surrounded by resentments. You know that at any point, the attacks can come like a lynch mob.
And if you die from all the attacks, the media still calls the attacks on you “accusations” to wash their hands of the blood. Your lynchers announce your death as if they had no role in your lynching.

The media calls Nolan a man while calling his white friends “teens,” because protecting whiteness often starts with deciding who gets treated like an adult, who gets afforded innocence, and who doesn’t.
“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK
Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point:
“Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?”
If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map.
But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument.
Number one: Right to exist where?
Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders.
So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law?
So, right to exist where?
Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from?
States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries.
The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
What happened to their “right to exist”?
People have rights, not states.
And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map.
The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.
"When people talk about the need for Black Excellence I counter with an insistence on Black mediocrity: the right for black people to be as average, flawed, compromised & mistaken as any other group of people. The right, ultimately, to be human." R.I.P. Jason Arday
I’ve never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege (that was your assumption). Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych. Furthermore, I’m the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on “white privilege”, do ya research on that one. I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it.
Leaked video from men's ICE detention center—detainees are coughing up blood.
"People have tuberculosis—I witness it working in the kitchen," he says.
"They lock them in punishment cell... instead of medical center."
"Conjunctivitis is spreading cause 76 people are in 1 cell."
"There is a flu going around that never goes away because we are overcrowded."
Video footage comes from inside the River Center ICE Detention Center in Ferriday, Louisiana.
"This video is intended to reach health authorities and the media, so that the reality of what we are all experiencing here is known."
