FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

I'm gonna be honest, I think "Venezuela stole the oil in the ground in Venezuela from the US" is going to be a hard sell even for the faithful

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

Poor Americans and people in a country trying to protect their natural resources will be put in harms way to gain things for rich Americans. Same as it ever was.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Jersey City Folks - where can you go to find out whether parking rules in our city are suspended or not? The Twitter account has been abandoned, and nobody seems to be updating the City website. @eleanalittle.bsky.social do you know?

Dick Cheney is looking up and smiling.
NEW: Trump covets Venezuela's oil. He has talked about seizing it. His envoy secretly pushed Maduro on it. Machado, the opposition leader, tells Trump's allies that she'll open up the industry to US companies. And US officials talk about pushing out China. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Breaking news is tricky ... but FYI when news outlets don't use "alleged" in their headlines... they're not afraid of being sued. Which suggests the evidence is really really solid.
