🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks.

To think that there is nothing to be learned and innovated on from the safety practices of other industries is lunacy. AI tools are power. They are not magical or exempt from safety practices that work for other complex systems. Governing AI requires disenchantment; break the spell.

This site is one of the most contaminated sites in the entire country. It's a former military barracks where forever chemicals in drinking water have been found to be 575,000x over the federal limit. It's run by LaSalle Corrections foundation, the "charitable" arm of the LaSalle.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother, a daughter, a wife, a neighbor, and a Minnesotan. Nine months ago, an ICE agent shot her, then allegedly refused a physician's offer of medical aid.

Her family deserves accountability and justice. It's long past time.

It doesn’t matter what polls or the pundits say — we can’t afford to take anything for granted with the midterms as the regime threatens to sabotage this election.

That’s why our organizers are busy bringing new voters into our coalition and recruiting more volunteers to protect the results.
