ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aids—and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

“This child has been dragged from detention center to detention center, to places that are not meant for children. They are definitely not built for children with severe disabilities. It’s inhuman, illegal, and unconstitutional.”

I could get mad about Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil, but I'm old enough to remember when US intelligence said a Russian GRU unit was paying bounties to kill American and coalition forces in Afghanistan. But Trump "didn't know anything about that".

One year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was taken by ICE. He is now out.

Around the same time, Leqaa Kordia was taken and is still in ICE detention.

Her apparent crime is using America's First Amendment rights to protest for peace.

She is the last Columbia student still in detention, and Khalil wrote to her

How Democrats flipped 22 Georgia counties with a utility board race The campaign for once-obscure regulatory positions could be a bellwether for midterm elections as skyrocketing electricity prices drive voters to the polls.

In a stunning upset, Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson by record margins — installing Democrats on Georgia’s Public Service Commission for the first time in more than 20 years.

Uploading Pirated Books via BitTorrent Qualifies as Fair Use, Meta Argues * TorrentFreak In an ongoing lawsuit, Meta now argues that uploading pirated books to strangers via BitTorrent qualifies as fair use.

In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles.

13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger.

The law didn't change.

There Was Just an Unusually Unsettling Pentagon-Related Resignation at OpenAI It wasn't an acrimonious departure, but this specific resignation coming right now might be cause for some soul-searching internally.

This seems ominous if you care about the rise of fully autonomous robots used for killing people

Not a single person that Joe Biden pardoned was re-arrested.

33 of the J6ers that Donald Trump has pardoned have been re-arrested.

Not a single US citizen was shot by ICE under Joe Biden.

23 American citizens have been shot at by ICE under Donald Trump. 8 have been hit, 3 have died.

It’s monstrous that fascist senate republican Tim Sheehy has gotten away with violently breaking the arm of a US Marine dressed in full military uniform which was captured on video and the scumbag later bragged about doing it on social media. MAGA is a violent terrorist cult.

Chicago, IL

ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center.

ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot dead by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

White House Says It’s No Big Deal if Russia Is Helping Iran in War White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had quite the reaction to reports that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran.

On Friday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that reports of Russia giving Iran intelligence to target U.S. assets didn’t matter—a baffling answer given that Iran has already killed multiple U.S. service members in retaliation.

ICE cannot be reformer. DHS was poison from the beginning.

Abolish ICE
Dismantle DHS.
Prosecute every person who violated the law or abused the public trust.
