Gestapo USA

This makes the Prairieland case a dual precedent: it criminalizes both the logistics (moving boxes) and the production (owning a printer) of radical literature.

The Trump administration is organising an international summit focused on countering the left-wing movement Antifa and other groups, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The unavoidable conclusion that must be drawn from the speech delivered on Wednesday night by Donald Trump is that the American president is a political criminal. If one grants that there exists a moral boundary, even in the realm of imperialist geopolitics, between the generally sinister pursuit of capitalist great power interests and fascist bestiality, the leaders of the US government have passed over it. The names of Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio and Miller will live in perpetual infamy alongside those of the Nazi ringleaders of the Third Reich: Hitler, Goering, Himmler, Von Ribbentrop and Goebbels. The judgment of history will be merciless.

The Right is selling a vision of classical education that promises to build character and nurture wonder. Liberals are stuck aiming for higher test scores and employability. Public education defenders need our own inspiring take on the meaning of school.

By the time of Broadnax’s trial in 2009, “gangsta rap” had effectively ceased to exist. It had fragmented into regional versions, from trap music in the south-east to drill in Chicago. Yet it was still powerfully invoked at the sentencing stage of Broadnax’s trial. Meanwhile, the number of cases recorded in the Rap on Trial database continues to grow. Since 2010 there has been an uptick, fueled by social media, which offers detectives an easy route to surveil rappers through their posted videos. “Prosecutors definitely don’t care what the music is labeled or depicted as,” Nielson said. “If the lyrics suit their purposes, they will use them.”

the defense secretary is never going to be able to wash the blood from his hands. The 45-year-old, one of the strongest backers of the war on Iran, has said he wants “maximum lethality, not tepid legality” to the be the hallmark of the US military, and he’s been making good on that promise. Under his watch, a defense department program aimed at reducing civilian harm has been dismantled, and experts who provide guidance on keeping military operations in line with international law have been fired. And, of course, a school full of little girls has been bombed.

A recent string of revelations about abuses by the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps presents an opportunity to rein in the military’s presence and power in public schools.

Immigrant communities across the United States have been facing an escalating wave of attacks. In response, from Los Angeles to Chicago and beyond, tens of thousands have taken to the streets, organized rapid-response networks, and refused to let their neighbors, coworkers, and friends be taken away. Nowhere has this been clearer than in Minneapolis, where thousands mobilized in the dead of winter to block ICE operations, forcing ICE to scale back its operations. As Trump’s attack on immigrants continues, we have to go on the offensive to fight not only against the violent detentions and deportations, but also challenge the very system that maintains immigrants in precarity.

In Texas’s largest public school district, in Houston, the immigrant student population plummeted by nearly 4,000 students, or a decrease of 22 percent, this school year. In Maine, absences at some schools hit 25 to 30 percent during a week of heavy ICE presence in January. In Minnesota, up to 40 percent of students stayed home during the agency’s violent operations in the Twin Cities.

The “dumb/smart” video is cringeworthy now, especially since Vance is clearly using kindergarten vocabulary so that Trump, who is seated behind the Resolute Desk next to him, will understand the flattery. But it will look much worse in the future, once all doubt that this war is a massive failure has been removed and the vice president is asked if he still has faith in Trump’s towering intellect.

I do, they will hurt people for no good reason.

The law is the first of its kind across the country to invalidate legally obtained identification documents, for any reason.

A report released Wednesday by the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) reveals that many parents, including dozens whom the groups interviewed at deportee reception centers in Honduras, have been forced to quickly leave their children in the “informal care” of friends, relatives, or even babysitters — many of whom are also vulnerable to deportation under the Trump administration — leaving them in precarious situations while traumatizing both parents and children.

Kordia, who is the last remaining Columbia protester in detention, has seen a recent groundswell of support following a seizure she suffered in detention due to malnutrition. Arrested on March 13, 2025 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), she is fast approaching her first full year in detention as her health reportedly worsens.

“It’s all hands on deck for the legal community.”

The scary thing is that Trump is making progress.

ICE is still active. We’re seeing a couple of incidents on average on the weekends and an average of around seven incidents each day during the week right now, and while the quantity may be lower, the quality of these kidnappings remains brutal, inhuman, and unjust.

There is only one way immigration deterrence stops people from seeking safety at our borders, and that is to kill them. Those who survived Border Patrol immigration deterrence will now have to survive ICE immigration deterrence. And just as Border Patrol immigration deterrence expected deaths to increase, ICE deaths will increase. The outcomes of immigration deterrence policies are known. Death is acceptable to DHS for those without papers.

Fascism is always dumb, it by definition is a silencing of unique, diverse voices.

“Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to flourish in Democrat-led cities—not under President Trump,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement Friday. “Today’s verdict on terrorism charges will not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles Antifa and finally halts their violence on America’s streets.”

The essay in question: a film review I wrote in 2019 about the horror movies “Hereditary” and “Midsommar.”

What The Actual Fuck

Prokopas said she was standing outside the facility on March 3 holding a cardboard sign that read “SHAME” when Martinez stopped his truck near the entrance gate while waiting for a break in traffic to pull onto U.S. 41. The two began speaking through the open window of his vehicle.

Florida public schools will force students to take a Heritage Foundation-backed class on the “evils of communism.”

On Jan. 16, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security paid $102.4 million in cash for an 825,620-square-foot logistics warehouse on Wright Road in Washington County, Md. The purchase closed without public notice, without environmental review and without consultation with state or local authorities.

A new report from the Marshall Project reveals that the daily number of kids in ICE detention has increased sixfold under the second Trump administration. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Shannon Heffernan and Anna Flagg of The Marshall Project about the the human cost of Trump’s mass deportation campaign, and about the horrifying reality inside the South Texas Family Processing Center—the “black box” facility in Dilley, Texas, where children are subjected to substandard food, medical deprivation, and prolonged detention beyond legal limits.
