Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

Stoller stumping for an ethnonationalist socialism coming as a surprise to literally no one
Matt Stoller: “..Trump & Mamdani defeated establishment in their own way, representing hunger of voters on the right & left who want something different. If those sides cd come together.. that would be a sea change in how we organize our political economy”.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Actually Existing Lulaismo
President Lula and I are focused on increasing trade and deepening our strong partnership between Canada and Brazil.
We’re intensifying free trade negotiations with Mercosur — a bloc of South American nations with a GDP of over $4 trillion, and a massive new export market for Canadian businesses.
