ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.

Senator Banks calls the Supreme Court’s decision not to change the law on birthright citizenship “the worst Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.” Keep in mind that he was born and lived his entire life under the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment the Court kept in place.

Sen. Jim Banks refers to American citizens as "the babies of invaders" and compares them to Nazi spies and terrorists

The Trump administration has now canceled the contract that provided legal services for unaccompanied immigrant kids. That means thousands of children across the country, including hundreds being held in detention, are losing access to government-provided legal representation. (1/5)

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

"Has the Iran war been worth the cost?" Not worth the cost: 75% Worth the cost: 25% Marquette / July 29, 2026

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

How are you this racist? I hope you shit yourself today.

ANOTHER death in ICE custody, this time at the controversial Delaney Hall facility. This makes 54 deaths since Trump took office; 1 every 8 days in 2026. His mother says he was denied adequate medical care for chronic conditions, a common accusation ICE has strenuously denied.

Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

With at least 80,000 Flock cameras across the country tracking our every move and collecting our personal information, it's no surprise that police are abusing their access to this invasive technology. Mass surveillance doesn't keep us safe.

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

Trump is currently carpet bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran. If any enemy country of ours did this we would call for immediate regime change and war crimes charges. He’s the world’s most dangerous terrorist. Iran may retaliate and obliterate oil infrastructure in the Middle East now.

To me, any Democrat who runs for President and doesn't begin by promising to fire everyone at ICE on week 1, cannot be taken seriously about anything else.

This does not mean give up or stop it means go harder and get more people involved

Here are all 98 Democrats who voted *against* the amendment to cut military aid to Israel. As well, the 10 Democrats who voted "present":

BREAKING: A majority of Democrats in the House have just voted to cut the $3.3 billion/year in U.S. military aid to Israel. Rep. Thomas Massie – the leader of the amendment – was the only Republican in support.

@rokhanna.bsky.social claims that Israel is commiting a genocide and an apartheid state, but does not think armed resistance to that genocidal apartheid state. In Ro Khannas world view, Nat Turner was wrong, the Warsaw ghetto uprising was wrong, the ANC was wrong. youtu.be/acRpfIg4fA4?...

Join us tomorrow, July 12, 8pm at McKeldin Plaza (Pratt and Light Street) to honor Lorenzo Salgado Arujo, murdered by ICE in Houston. Together we will mourn, demand and organize toward justice, for him and all of this fascist regime's victims. None of us are free until all of us are free.

The world feels a little less evil, that's right Lindsey Graham has died. Satan brings another one of his warriors home. Lindsey died doing what he loves the most, supporting a genocidal, apartheid state (Israel), and praying for the streets of Tehran to run red with the blood of children.

especially when their cover is that white Leftists are *extra* racist. They are as racist as the rest of white people in the country which includes the white people who hate them.
