Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023.

He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours.

They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds.

Without them, he will lose the organ.

This is how people die.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

ICE is likely paying a premium to get the deal through quickly. E.g., in Hamburg, PA, the warehouse was purchased in 2024 for $57.5 million and sold to ICE for $87 million.

The real profit will come with the private prison companies and contractors hired to refurbish and staff these facilities.

The Crypto sales to petro princes, the Deutsche Bank/Russian bribes, EACH of the top Trump scams amount to more than the alleged graft of ALL previous presidents, combined. What'd Hunter do again? 'Sold' a meeting with the VICE President... that never even happened?

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.

Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.

We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

One of many good pieces in print NYT Opinion section: John Garnaut on how Trump's perverse combo of hostility to allies + TACO to China is empowering PRC and undermining Taiwan.

Whether "inadvertent," purposeful, merely incompetent, or corrupt, it's dangerous.

The political class and business elites would be happy to see attention to Epstein fade away. But the broader public won't allow it. They correctly sense something is rotten about the earlier investigations (or the lack thereof) and the current coverup...and they're right.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

A Kansas man wrote an op-ed criticizing local police for cooperating with ICE. Instead of respecting his First Amendment rights, the police used automatic license plate readers to track him in hopes of finding wrongdoing.

We must keep getting this easily-abused surveillance out of our communities.
