At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.

This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."
Companies building data centers are "targeting" Indigenous communities where there is often less legal infrastructure to hold them accountable, says Krystal Two Bulls from @honortheearth.bsky.social. "Right now, we're looking at about 103 to 160 proposed hyperscale data centers on Native lands."
Colombian mercenaries accused of committing war crimes in Sudan were trained in military bases in the United Arab Emirates, according to a new report from Human Rights Watch. We speak with Joey Shea, author of the report.

Artificial intelligence is "incredibly unpopular technology" that is essentially being forced on people, says writer @astra.bsky.social. New data centers are now facing stiff resistance, providing "local chokepoints where people can come together and push back on the billionaire Big Tech agenda."
The antiwar movement in Israel is growing, says Israeli peace activist @alonlee.bsky.social, who was arrested in Tel Aviv on Saturday as Israeli police cracked down on a protest against the wars in Iran and Lebanon. Demonstrations also took place in Haifa and Jerusalem.
More than 20,000 seafarers are stranded on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. "The seafarers, men and women, have not provoked this war, are not a part of it, and cannot stop it," says Mohamed Arrachedi of the International Transport Workers' Federation.
“Dr. King said that militarism overseas leads to the corrosion of a society and violence at home,” says @rokhanna.bsky.social. “That does not in any way justify the assassination attempt, but what it does suggest is that we have a culture that has embraced violence inconsistent with our ideals.”
Middle East scholar @eskandarsadeghi.bsky.social says the "extremely precarious" ceasefire between the United States and Iran effectively leaves the Strait of Hormuz under ongoing Iranian control, part of "a fundamental change in the region."
As Americans have become more critical of policing, the prominence of Black and other marginalized people in law enforcement has increased. "Black cops are kind of rehabilitating police departments," says Steven Thrasher (@thrasherxy.bsky.social), author of a new book "The Overseer Class.”

Thousands of federal retirees can’t get their retirement documents. They call OPM & get busy signals & endless hold times. Director Scott Kupor gave us a partial response & omitted critical info. I’m demanding real answers. I won’t stop until federal retirees get the benefits they earned.
President #Trump's whopping tax cuts for big corporations and the very rich -- and cuts to programs like #Medicaid -- show that he is not in the oval office to improve the lives of most Americans. His goal is to transfer more of the country's wealth to the super-rich.

Does he enjoy lying? The PM is NOT instructing his lawyers not to put property rights first in court. He is NOT signing deals with First Nations that do not protect homeowners. The PM unlike PP consults, listens to and RESPECTS all stakeholders when making a decision. ‼️SHAME ON PP‼️

Trump es un sinvergüenza. He continues to tell lies about immigrants to distract us from our rising healthcare costs and attacks on our voting rights.

Our grocery prices are about to go up again. Why? Because of Trump's reckless war in Iran. I grew up on a family farm. We needed fertilizer every spring when we planted our corn and soybeans.

I woke up very early this morning to news of “major combat operations” in Iran. My prayers are with our service members and their families. The President didn’t make the case or come to Congress. We took an oath to defend the Constitution. It’s time for a War Powers vote.

Is Trying to Outspend China’s BRI a Strategic Mistake? Quincy Institute researchers Karthik Sankaran and Dan Ford argue that competing directly with China misses the point of development finance, and could undermine U.S. effectiveness in the Global South.
Yesterday, the tracks fell silent at Utrecht Centraal. Twenty rebels who refused to look away from Gaza held the rails. On July 4 the ring road stops again. Each action answered with arrests. Each arrest answered with more bodies. The movement does not shrink. It grows. Join it.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in US history. Now it looks like him and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

The continued escalation by ICE, the rogue federal agency, are to blame for the preventable death of Alex Pretti. Until ICE is held accountable for all the violence and mayhem they've caused, and true oversight is put in place, the Senate must not fund this rogue agency.
There's a proven link between people deliberately harming animals and going on to commit domestic abuse. Currently the law does not allow us to identify these people early. I brought this up in parliament and introduced a motion asking the government to address this gap in the legislation.
