This aggressive use of public lands and services, including the use of millions of dollars in FEMA funds, was carried out not in order to respond to the real needs of Floridians, but in order to wage war on immigrants in a purposefully theatrical and cruel way.

Outrage over ICE raids rings hollow while 2 million languish in prisons. America has always had concentration camps. We just reserve our anger for the ones with TV cameras.

“When we arrived there that day, March 16, the first person to greet us was the director [of the prison], who said, ‘This is hell,’” Ángel recounted.

Some cuts, like those to Medicaid, have been heavily covered by the corporate media. But one key piece of the bill has gotten much less media scrutiny: The preposterous sum of $175 billion has been allocated to fund Trump’s signature mass deportation campaign.

In a recent video recapping his primary victory in Queens, Zohran Mamdani did something almost radical for today’s political landscape: he cut through the usual Beltway euphemisms and mapped out the varied, living elements of the coalition that won. Most postmortems stay tangled in polite code. We get anxious talk of “electability,” “swing voters,” whether […]

On the morning of January 21, 1960, 431 black and six white coal miners were entombed in a sudden collapse at Clydesdale Collieries near Coalbrook in Sasolburg, Free State Province.[1] The first rockfall took place at about 4:30 p.m. No one was killed or severely injured.

For today I have been asked to speak a bit about my country, Puerto Rico, and the socioeconomic crisis that is currently developing there.1 Given the time constraints, I want to provide you with a brief overview of what is being experienced there by the victims of the crisis.

Trump deploys 2,000 troops to LA amid anti-ICE protests. Governor Newsom calls it a political stunt: “They want a spectacle. Don’t give them one.”

Hundreds of migrants have been illegally deported by the U.S. to these infamous prisons, currently there are approximately 110,000 prisoners across the country; approximately 85,000 of these prisoners have been arrested since the start of the state of exception, an emergency measure that has been renewed 36 times by the National Assembly since its promulgation in March 2022.

The news that a group of “Afrikaners” (Afrikaans-speaking white people from South Africa) have shown up in the United States, invited by the Trump administration as “refugees,” shouldn’t come as a surprise. Donald Trump is obsessed with South Africa; he has been for years.

The Trump administration’s decision to fast-track asylum for white South Africans—claiming “persecution”—is a political stunt, ignoring that they remain among the wealthiest globally, still controlling most of the country’s land and resources decades after apartheid allegedly ended.

In a barrage of executive orders issued last week, including one late Monday afternoon targeting so-called “sanctuary” cities, President Donald Trump launched a naked attack on the democratic rights of immigrants and the working class as a whole.
