MORE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AT ICE FACILITIES

1. Arron Parnas 7/21] 25 MORE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AT ICE FACILITIES Migrants in ICE detention centers in South Florida were reportedly subjected to degrading treatment, including being shackled, forced to kneel to eat "like dogs,” denied basic hygiene and medical care, and confined in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. The report, based on interviews by advocacy groups, details widespread abuses at three facilities—Krome, Broward, and the downtown Miami jail—including holding detainees on buses for over 24 hours, cramming people into frigid intake rooms without beds, and turning off cameras during violent crackdowns. Most migrants detained have no criminal background, with national ICE detention numbers reaching nearly 56,400 per day as of June 2025, a sharp rise from an average of 37,500 during 2024, according to the report. The surge in reported abuse follows increased immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, with detention numbers rising sharply and conditions deteriorating, prompting concerns of a growing humanitarian crisis fueled by chaotic and punitive detention policies.

TRUMP DRAWS WELL RESPECTED JUDGE IN MURDOCK LAWSUIT

1. Arron Parnas 7/21] 25 TRUMP DRAWS WELL RESPECTED JUDGE IN MURDOCK LAWSUIT Donald Trump's lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal has been assigned to Judge Darrin Gayles, a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama. I've seen Judge Gayles in action. While he may not be the judge Trump wanted given that he was an Obama appointee, he is one of the fairest and no BS judges in the district.

TRUMP HIS UNCLE AND THE UNABOMBER
In conversation about 9 days ago from mstdn.social permalink

1. Heather Cox Richardson 7/16/25 TRUMP HIS UNCLE AND THE UNABOMBER Yesterday he [Trump] fell asleep on stage at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit. At the same event, Trump told what CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale called “an especially odd imaginary tale,” claiming that his uncle, a MIT professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had taught Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber. Trump recounted a conversation with his uncle about Kaczynski, but in fact Kaczynski didn’t go to MIT, and Trump's uncle John died more than a decade before Kaczynski became famous, so Trump and his uncle could not have identified him as the Unabomber. Today, Trump called chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell a “terrible Fed chair” and added: “I was surprised he was appointed.” Trump was the president who appointed him. Finally, today Trump's Department of Justice fired longtime employee Maurene Comey, who had prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. To bring things full circle, Maurene Comey is the daughter of James Comey, the Republican former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whom Trump fired for refusing to drop the FBI investigation into ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian operatives.

Six Republican lawmakers complained that Canadian wildfire smoke is ruining Americans' summer, just days after voting for a Trump-backed bill that slashes renewable energy support and boosts fossil fuels—policies experts say will worsen wildfires and release 7B tons of greenhouse gases over five years.

BACKLASH AGAINST TRUMP’s DRACONIAN POLICIES
In conversation about 13 days ago from mstdn.social permalink

1. Heather Cox Richardson 7/12/25 BACKLASH AGAINST TRUMP's DRACONIAN POLICIES A Gallup poll released yesterday shows that the administration's draconian policies toward immigrants have created a backlash. A record 79% of adults say immigration is good for the country, with only 17% seeing it as bad. That change has been driven primarily by a shift in Republicans, 64% of whom now agree that immigrants are good for the country, up from their low of under 40%. The percentage of American adults who say immigration should be reduced has dropped to 30%, down from 55% in 2024.

STRONG DISAPPROVAL OF TRUMP’s IMMIGRATION POLICIES
In conversation about 13 days ago from mstdn.social permalink
Attachments
1. Heather Cox Richardson 7/12/25 STRONG DISAPPROVAL OF TRUMP's IMMIGRATION POLICIES The Gallup poll shows that U.S. opposition to immigration rose from 2021 to 2024, the years in which the booming economy in the U.S. attracted immigrants pushed out of South American countries whose economies were foundering. Trump falsely tagged that surge as proof that former president Joe Biden was permitting immigrant criminals to flood the country. Sentiments now look like they did in 2021, before that campaign. The poll shows that only 35% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 62% disapprove. There is a strong enthusiasm gap in those numbers: 21% strongly approve while 45% strongly disapprove. Among Independents, 14% strongly approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 45% strongly disapprove.

DISMANTLING OF NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL RESULTS IN GAME OF THRONES
AUSTRALIA AND GREAT BRITAIN MUST ADVANCE TRUMP’S AMERICA FIRST

1. Heather Cox Richardson 7/6/25 DISMANTLING OF NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL RESULTS IN GAME OF THRONES AUSTRALIA AND GREAT BRITAIN MUST ADVANCE TRUMP'S AMERICA FIRST On July 2, Nahal Toosi of Politico reported that cuts to the National Security Council (NSC) have created a “dysfunctional” policymaking process. The NSC is supposed to coordinate policymaking across the different parts of the government. But Toosi reported that when the Pentagon recently announced it was reviewing whether the AUKUS security pact between the U.S., Australia, and the United Kingdom advances Trump's “Americad First” agenda, the announcement came from Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby without input from other key U.S. officials, who were blindsided by the move. The acting national security advisor, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has downsized the NSC and held so few meetings that career staffers are kept in the dark and others are jockeying for power. One person told Toosi, “It's Game of Thrones politics over there.” Under Trump, the NSC has gone from being a body that can give the president advice to one designed simply to advance the president’s agenda.

DEBT CEILING
Sam Goldfarb and Justin Lahart of the Wall Street Journal noted on Thursday that economists, investors and politicians are sounding the alarm that the U.S. is “bingeing on debt” when there is no national emergency like a pandemic or a war to require taking on such debt. The measure will raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

2. Thom Hartman 7/4/25 Martial law may not arrive with tanks. It may come in the form of a national emergency declaration, a manufactured riot, or the pretense of mass fraud. Trump doesn’t have to cancel the election; he just has to delegitimize it enough to override it. So what do we do? As Palast warns: don’t despair. “They can’t steal all the votes all of the time.” But they sure as hell can steal enough. We need: — Massive voter education on how to confirm your registration and re-register early. — Lawsuits and court challenges in every state adopting suppression tactics. — Federal action, if not from the Justice Department, then from an organized, relentless citizenry. — Election monitoring from independent and international groups. — And, when Democrats are again in power (G-d willing), a law that explicitly says we have a right to vote. It's insane that government has to get a court order (thanks, Supreme Court) to take away your gun, but doesn’t even have to notify you when they take away your vote. If Trump succeeds in today’s ongoing massive purge of largely Democratic voters and delegitimizing results, he won't need martial law. The authoritarian train won't arrive with a bang; it'll glide in silently, on rails we failed to see being laid down this year.Now it's up to us to stop it. Pass it along.
