Since 2016, Trump, rightwing media, & the coal industry have obsessively painted him as a friend of coal miners & their families—& he has stabbed them in the back over & over again. I speak w/ the indomitable @kimkelly.bsky.social @inthesetimes.com @therealnews.com

Kim Kelly: Coal miners are dying, and Trump betrayed them
“We don't expect anything good to come out of the kind of people that Trump puts in charge of these agencies, or Trump himself, but it's like, what is the constituency for ‘Kill More Coal Miners’”?

I am a fan of @long-haul-mag.bsky.social! I've been reading it cover to cover since the first issue came out last year, and I've been consistently impressed with both the depth of thinking and the level engagement with the actual lives of workers of all sorts. Also, it's always beautiful!

In Episode 2 of WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT PRAIRIELAND, we answer the question: was a shooter hiding in the woods? Was Benjamin Song seen right outside the woods and near the woods, concealed and lying in wait to ambush ICE officers?

WANT TO KNOW what really happened at Prairieland Detention Center last July 4th?

The evidence in the Prairieland case has FINALLY been made public, so now you can see for yourself. And BIG SURPRISE - it's NOT what you heard from the government or on the news.

From the article: "13 minors under the age of 6 years old were detained by ICE in Virginia during that same period."

Even one is unacceptable.
According to an analysis of ICE data, obtained by VPM News through the Deportation Data Project's FOIA-released dataset, ICE has made nearly 11,000 arrests during the period between President Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration and early March '26

During all of 2024, ICE made 1,595 arrests in Virginia
Immigration enforcement in Virginia has risen sharply in the last year
Over 7,000 people have been booked at Riverside Regional Jail.

The sham of a trial, and the repression of people who had only published newspapers in the "land of the free," sparked the labor movement worldwide. It's the reason we still celebrate May Day, a hundred and forty years later.
