Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments.
Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions.

ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

"That is a fundamental difference between Vice President Vance and I," says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in response to JD Vance's defense of the ICE agent who shot and killed Renée Good in Minneapolis.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control.
Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

In 2021, Jared Kushner claimed he was leaving politics. Instead, armed with billions in funding from Middle East autocrats, he is brokering “peace” deals for Trump that double as real estate ventures and positioning himself at the center of Trump's media ambitions. None of it is an accident.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?
