We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Attack in Venezuela Was Unconstitutional Congress must assert its control of military matters.

Our nation’s founders knew the danger of putting the power of war in the wrong hands. Many had lived through two major wars and had served themselves. It’s a main reason why they gave only Congress the power to declare war.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

The dual state, invented to describe the Nazis, is two-faced twice over: It is characterized by a bifurcation in the law, but also by the facade of normalcy, obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

This term, the Supreme Court could take us right there.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

What Actually Works to Fight Crime  The administration’s plans to fight crime by dictating state bail policy or deploying the National Guard won’t build long-term safety, but there are many evidence-based ways to reduce crime.

There are many evidence-based crime fighting strategies with bipartisan support among policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and justice reform advocates. Deploying the military isn’t one of them. bit.ly/4neYVD1
