The problem is Democratic fecklessness—and it isn’t limited to just the future of ICE. Dismantling the ICE regime needs to be the floor, not the ceiling, and any Democrat in Congress who doesn’t get with the program can—and should—be replaced in the primaries.

It's not about illegal immigration. That's a pretext. This is political punishment, suppression, & a play for more power. They want to execute the plan quickly and brutally, because they have until November to get it done.
ICE tactics are designed to instill fear in people and create chaos in communities as part of an overarching strategy aimed to silence opposition to Trump’s overall domestic agenda and let citizens know that this is the dawn of a new era.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has always sold itself as a technocratic arm of “law and order.” But in Trump’s second term, that façade has slipped.
While the current protests are largely driven by a record-high Rial to USD exchange and a 60 percent food inflation rate, the transition from labor strikes in South Pars to coordinated urban violence points towards a deeper level of intervention.

Matt Kennard explains how the US operates as a "gangster state." With Trump openly expressing his intention to steal Venezuela's oil, we've entered a new era of "naked imperialism," where the Western Hemisphere and the world are considered US property.

Donald Trump claims he will "run" Venezuela, after he bombed it and abducted President Nicolás Maduro. However, his plan makes no sense -- and will likely blow back on the USA. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez is still independent, and not cutting off China. US sanctions...

Most Americans are taught a sanitized version of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The man with a dream. The peaceful marcher. The national holiday.
Renee Good, like many Palestinians before her, died because authoritarian forces decided she did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.

The military-industrial-complex has grown into a monster so influential and powerful that even its earliest critics likely never foresaw its evolution. Where will it go from here, and can anything stop it? Bill Hartung tackles this question.

Breaking down U.S. President Trump's recent actions in Venezuela, and the right-wing propaganda that has followed in the wake of it.
