Detainees in the Adelanto ICE Processing Center have noticed contamination in the drinking water. Last week, we reported on footage from inside the facility that showed evidence of the inhumane conditions inside the facility. The full story: lataco.com/contaminated...

Lindsay Graham was, I think, one of the most contemptible figures in US politics, a titan of respectable bipartisan foreign policy for years who displayed no principles, no insight, and no beliefs beyond a gleeful and vicarious love of violence. An indictment of every institution he served in. RIP.

In case you don't follow UFC (don't blame you), alleged rapist Conor McGregor was top billing tonight and came out swinging like a crackhead, only to instantaneously blow out his knee on the very first kick, get punched in the face approximately 11 times, and lose immediately

I don't want to hear politicians running on "we need to see each other as neighbors again" bullshit. No I want you to run on expanding the commons and offering actual SPACES in communities where people can gather across differences. That means no rhetoric but ACTUAL $$$ invested.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

DR Congo superfan denied US visa to support team at World Cup

Michel Kuka Mboladinga is iconic for his motionless tribute at DRC games, but a US World Cup repeat has been denied.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Federal agents track down Syracuse woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

BREAKING: VA Gov Abigail Spanberger just vetoed a bill that would ban ICE from making warrantless arrests inside of courthouses. VA Dems have the House, the Senate, and the Governorship. They have all the power and still under a Corporate Centrist Democrat, align with fascist ideology.

Spanberger (D-Langley) is vetoing collective bargaining rights for a broad swathe of VA public sector workers. It's an immense betrayal to a core part of her coalition, in a moment when they're under attack. She didn't even offer amendments but a "substitute" bill that would've delayed til 2030...

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

BREAKING—Tennessee Republicans have voted to draw new maps that will *eliminate* the state's only Black-majority district & the only seat held by a Democrat. @justinjpearson.bsky.social: "As long as we never quit, they cannot win. We may lose some battles along the way, but this war is a long one."

People have been saying this for weeks but it's no less true: federal immigration agents have continued to abduct people in the Chicago area since the end of Midway Blitz, just with less fanfare. And with spring here we're seeing a marked increase in ICE activity compared to the winter.

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

Blackness is never foregrounded in political punditry in this country and as such it has been criminally under discussed how millions of black people are about to lose their political representation. What should be one of the biggest stories of our life has been reduced to mere horserace coverage.
