ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office β€” a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work - Bolts Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished.

She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted.

A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.

This is awesome--I use a similar set of rules but add a couple more things if that's ok:

1. One drawing from reference and one drawing from imagination per x pages (to keep these two things in close stylistic quarters)
2. Try to use these things in service of the story as much as you possibly can

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others.

After one inspection, the children just β€œcried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

Tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen referencing cuts to food assistance for hungry children, quoting a report claiming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth oversaw $93 billion in Pentagon spending in one month, including $2 million on Alaskan king crab.

β€œRotten”: Trump Lashes Out at Female Reporter Over 2020 Election Lies PBS News Hour reporter Liz Landers debunked Donald Trump’s claims to his face.

Journalists are getting better at asking an aging Trump hard-hitting questions, and he's starting to get truly ticked off.

Trump snapped at PBS News Hour reporter Liz Landers today after she dared to push back against his false claims about the 2020 election, calling her "a rotten reporter.”

Meidas Health Urgent Warning About Trump's Surgeon General Pick Future Surgeon General? Dr. Vin Gupta Responds to the Casey Means Debate

The Surgeon General is the nation’s chief medical communicator.

Casey Means can’t fulfill that role because she isn’t a board certified, licensed physician.

How can you speak on behalf of other doctors when you’ve tried so hard not to be one?

DC Needs a Series Exploring the Justice League of Earth-1985 Teased several years ago in the series Doomsday Clock, the more classic Justice Leage of Earth-1985 is something DC needs to revisit.

7 years ago, #DCComics briefly teased the concept of "Earth-1985" in Doomsday Clock, then quickly forgot about it. But I think this unexplored parallel world would make for a great series, in the #XMen97 mold. I explain how it would work for @nerdist.bsky.social nerdist.com/article/dc-n...

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."

Trump is working hard today in the middle of his war campaigning in Kentucky against fellow Republican Thomas Massie, because he co-sponsored the bill to release the Epstein files. Nothing to improve the lives of Americans as he continues his Revenge & Retribution Tour.

"The first 2 days of this war cost $5.6 billion. I seem to remember a president coming into office on the pretext he would focus on America First. And yet he's cut healthcare, cut food assistance, sent the cost of everything higher, but we have plenty of money for war."

Donald Trump owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600.

That’s $1,700 owed to every household.

I’m demanding Congress end his illegal tariffs, rein in this lawless President, and deliver for working families.
