Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights.
It’s called habeas corpus.
Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old.
It’s older than America itself.
And Miller tried to kill it.
New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.”
Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway.
Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it?
The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone.
I will fight this with everything I have.
The Constitution is not optional.
Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone.

The amount of grief nations like Iran are carrying while being told to just “play football” under awful conditions on US soil, after everything that country has done to their people, is obscene.

The real issue is not even that @elonmusk is a trillionaire, but it is how a country that is producing such unprecedented wealth can fail to provide healthcare for all its citizens.
It is a values issue.
We need a New Deal for our time.

The 2028 Democratic field is going to be full of candidates trying to differentiate themselves by how much they hate Trump for not annihilating Iran enough.
Jun 14
Don’t believe the hype on Trump’s deal with Iran. This isn’t peace or strength—it’s a dangerous giveaway. The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump’s war. Now he’s handing Iran billions in sanctions relief to rebuild their military.
This is a disaster.

🇸🇩 NEW: Former U.S. genocide-prevention official Cameron Hudson warned that the world is once again standing by as the Rapid Support Forces prepares to besiege another Sudanese city, with fighters massing around El Obeid.
Hudson, who previously led the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s genocide-prevention center and served as chief of staff to U.S. special envoys during the Darfur genocide, wrote: “Another perfect example of the international community sitting idly by as the RSF prepares to lay siege to yet another Sudanese city and does nothing to actively prevent it. They will be quick to express their outrage after the killing ends but not before.”
The warning comes as the RSF gathers forces near El Obeid, raising fears of a repeat of El Fasher, where the group carried out atrocities that the U.N. has said amount to genocide, including mass killings of up to 150,000 civilians (Yale estimate), and widespread rapes and sexual violence against women and children.

💢 Bolivian authorities have detained and deported an international human rights delegation of Argentine lawmakers, union organizers, and activists after they arrived at El Alto International Airport in La Paz, citing alleged irregularities in their travel documents. The delegation said it had traveled at the invitation of local organizations to investigate allegations of police repression and human rights abuses amid Bolivia’s deepening political crisis.
The expulsions come as anti-government protests and roughly 90 road blockades have crippled the country for nearly two months, triggering shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. President Rodrigo Paz’s government, which recently expanded emergency powers allowing the suspension of constitutional rights and wider military deployment, accuses opponents of “narco-terrorism” and sabotage, while rights groups warn of an escalating crackdown and shrinking space for independent scrutiny.
Denunciamos ante el pueblo boliviano y la comunidad internacional la expulsión de una delegación de activistas y defensores de derechos humanos provenientes de Argentina. Es una señal alarmante que quienes vienen a observar, documentar y defender derechos sean tratados como enemigos, mientras se multiplican los vínculos y visitas de organismos de seguridad estadounidenses en nuestro país. Así comenzaron los capítulos más oscuros de nuestra historia latinoamericana.
La coordinación entre aparatos de seguridad, la persecución política y el hostigamiento a quienes denuncian abusos fueron características del Plan Cóndor y de las dictaduras que sometieron a nuestros pueblos. Bolivia no puede recorrer ese camino. Cuando se expulsa a defensores de derechos humanos y se intenta silenciar la observación internacional, la democracia se debilita y las alertas sobre autoritarismo se encienden en toda nuestra América.

Has any elected leftists weighed in on this race between Zionist war monger Adam Smith & Kshama Sawant -- a pro-Palestine socialist who successfully fought for $15 and made it a national issue? Or is this one too close to call?
There’s only one antiwar, pro-worker campaign in this race.
I am running for Congress as an independent antiwar socialist in WA state’s 9th district.
There are two Democrats running against me. One is 29-year pro-war incumbent Adam Smith, and another is a candidate named Melissa Chaudhry.
I recently attended a candidate interview.
Adam Smith refused to attend. Clearly he prefers not to face my campaign which has relentlessly exposed his genocidal, anti-worker record.
The other candidate, Chaudhry, would have working people believe that she is running a progressive antiwar campaign. But what are her actual positions?
Nowhere has Chaudhry called for an end to military aid for Israel. The words genocide, Palestine, Israel, Gaza, or occupation don’t even appear on her website.
I brought this up in the interview, and Chaudhry declined to respond.
Nowhere does Chaudhry say anything about the need for universal public healthcare.
Chaudhry also fails to say anything in support of trans and queer rights. When pressed, she admitted that she wanted to avoid offending a particular community. This is in the context of the horrific attacks against trans people by Trump and the right wing.
Chaudhry is also silent about shutting down ICE and the detention centers.
Her silence on all these crucial issues — the genocide, military aid to Israel, universal public healthcare, trans and queer rights, and ICE terror — is anything BUT progressive.
Chaudhry recently assured a Democratic Party audience that she is a “team player.” It's clear what she means. She is happy to toe the line of the genocidal, anti-worker, anti-trans Democratic Party leadership to try to make a career for herself.
The last thing working people need is another status quo careerist politician. Congress is full of them.
What we need is a fighter for working people. If elected, I will use my Congressional office to build mass movements, like I did for a decade with my socialist Seattle City Council office, winning the nation’s highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax and landmark renters’ rights.
Join us to build for the strongest antiwar working-class vote in this primary election that ends August 4th!
