As a result of our lawsuit, guards at "Alligator Alcatraz" are required to allow people detained at the facility to call their lawyers, in accordance with the Constitution.

Yet when our clients asserted their right to access phones, guards brutally beat them. ICE must be held accountable.

ICE is ignoring rules put in place to avoid family separations, researchers say. Many mothers “had no contact with their children…for days or weeks.”

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

ICE is flagrantly violating the 4th amendment.

But no matter what the article implies, you still have the right to refuse ICE entry into your home without a judicial warrant.

We don’t just give up our rights because ICE claims they have impunity to break any law they want.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child.

Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie.

Absolutely vile.

ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices.

It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season.

My sister died suddenly. Her funeral is Monday. We just got 4 of her 7 kids — they came with nothing. I’m turning my garage and my dad’s basement into a home while grieving and planning 2 funerals.

This is survival. If you feel it, please help. Even a share matters.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

In this moment, the obvious choice is for Stephen Colbert to do a new hilarious show on PBS. Cancel Paramount/CBS and get a PBS Passport - so much less money anyway! (Older people might remember Mark Russell; he taught me singing your opinions is good, Reagan was bad & Iran Contra was…confusing).
