Not only are incarcerated kids receiving drastically less educational instruction time than their non-incarcerated counterparts, but time in the classroom is also being replaced with time in solitary confinement.

The regime's attack on immigrants is starting to affect the availability and quality of childcare for all children. Staff are terrorized and some are leaving. Programs are afraid to take children on walks. Parents are finding it harder to find childcare. Soon, already outrageous costs will rise.

It is far past time for the country to start punishing those who torture and those who authorize it or send people to be tortured. Obama's "look forward not backwards" guaranteed torture's return. Now we see it in ICE detention centers, private torture facilities, and overseas torture centers.
This 37 minute episode of the Daily is the most harrowing, infuriating piece of reporting I’ve heard in a long time. Everyone needs to listen to it. A sane country would be debating only the length of the prison terms of the people who did this to these men. We just moved to the next scandal.
Trump Sent Them to a Notorious Prison. Torture Followed.

One thing I appreciate about FIRE is that they do actually *try* to be principled. Not always successfully! But I’m sure many of their employees and certainly their donors are fans of Charlie Kirk—and yet they’ll defend his critics.
FIRE is suing on behalf of Monica Meeks, a veteran and Tennessee state employee who was fired for criticizing Charlie Kirk on Facebook following his murder. Argues that "her termination was unlawful retaliation for her protected expression" and demands reinstatement.

Israel killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children, in overnight strikes on the Palestinian territory.
The attacks came after Israel claimed its soldiers came under attack by Hamas militants, though the group denied responsibility.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
