Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza.
They then took her from New Jersey to Texas—where she’s been detained for nearly a year.
Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.
Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.
The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

I don't like Ossoff, but I think this language should stick.
THE EPSTEIN CLASS
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

Trump market tested his campaign with Birtherism and inaugurated his run calling Mexicans “rapists and murderers.” There’s no new information in the latest outrage. But there is further confirmation that commentators who denied racism was Trumpism’s central motivating factor should be shunned.

What’s great about JD Vance is that unlike Miller, he doesn’t *want* to be hated. You can tell it eats at him that he is the object of universal scorn—that yet again he has given up everything in search of love, and found only contempt. This is what he deserves.
