This ICE flight believed to be carrying Afghan, Syrian and Iranian asylum seekers to the Central African Republic is underway.
Omni Air International, may you rot in infamy and shame.

25+ years later, and people focus on "choice" because they can't demonstrate any impact on quality.
First time in history it's taken longer to destroy something than to build it.

We're not unhealthy becuz of pasteurized milk. We're unhealthy becuz we have access to abundant & cheap calories, work sedantary jobs, drive 3 blocks to the store, & lack nutritional literacy.

In 1990, the U.S. welcomed Tuan Van Bui and other young Amerasians. In 2025, ICE violently arrested him. Why did he die in custody?

The Trump administration is refusing to answer questions about the health and safety of undocumented young mothers—and their newborn U.S. citizens—in its custody.
In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations.
