Senator Kim Leads NJ Democratic Delegation in Demanding an End to ICE Brutality and Inhumane Detention at Delaney Hall

(May 29, 2026)

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) led members of the New Jersey Democratic Congressional delegation in sending a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting Attorney General (Acting AG) Todd Blanche demanding immediate action to end ICE brutality and inhumane detention at Delaney Hall in Newark.

The letter comes after Senator Kim and members of the New Jersey congressional delegation conducted oversight visits of Delaney Hall over the past week, witnessing the inhumane treatment of detainees inside the for-profit facility, run by the private company GEO Group, and the use of escalatory tactics by ICE agents on the ground. Their visits followed reports of ICE retaliating against those detained inside the facility and hundreds beginning a hunger and labor strike in protest of the inhumane conditions.

The German Government Prevented Me From Speaking About Press Freedom at the European Parliament.

(May 8, 2026)

As some of you might already know, my name is Hüseyin Doğru. I am a German citizen, a father of three, a journalist, and the founder of red., a now defunct English-language media outlet.

On 20 May 2025, I was placed on an EU sanctions list.

Not after a criminal conviction. Not after a trial. Not after a court had examined evidence against me.

I was placed on a list.

The reason given was not violence. It was not incitement. It was not a finding by any court. The reason was political: my journalism, my reporting on Gaza, and my coverage of Palestine solidarity protests in Germany were folded into the language of Russia, destabilisation, information manipulation and hybrid threats.

EU-Sanktionsregime gegen eigene Bürger: Wie Brüssel und Berlin Journalisten ohne Gerichtsurteil vernichten

Alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie berichten außerhalb des NATO-/EU-Narrativs – sei es zur Ukraine, zu Gaza oder zur Energiepolitik.

Die Folgen für die Betroffenen sind existentiell: Konten werden eingefroren, Zahlungen blockiert, Reisen innerhalb der EU unmöglich gemacht. Sogar Familienangehörige (wie die nicht sanktionierte Ehefrau von Hüseyin Doğru) werden mit „Sanktionsumgehung“ bedroht. Doğru beschreibt seinen Zustand treffend: „On an existential level, you’re reduced to zero.“ Ein Vater von fünf Kindern kann nicht einmal mehr Windeln oder Medikamente kaufen, ohne dass Helfer Gefahr laufen, selbst strafrechtlich verfolgt zu werden.

The Explicit Manifesto of Digital Fascism: Palantir and the Alliance of Monopoly Capital with the Far Right

(April 22, 2026)

The manifesto published by Palantir Technologies is neither a technical document nor an economic vision. It is an explicit political document announcing a new phase in the trajectory of digital capitalism, a phase in which it has abandoned its claim to neutrality and decided to unmask itself, revealing its full ideological face. Palantir is not an isolated case in the global technological landscape. It is one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, for its role in enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents.

Most damning of all, documented reports have revealed a direct partnership between this company, alongside other Western technology companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and the Israeli military, providing data and targeting systems that were used in military operations on Gaza, making it an actual partner in documented war crimes against Palestinian civilians.

What Israelis can learn from the nightmares of an Iranian hangman

(April 9, 2026)

Still, compared to their Iranian counterparts, Israel’s far-right lawmakers have a long way to go. The list of offenses warranting a death sentence in Iran is dizzying in its scope, including burglary, prostitution, drug trafficking, homosexuality, political dissidence, adultery, and “waging war against God.”

Under Israel’s new law, executions are to be carried out by hanging at a facility managed by the Israel Prison Service. How dull. Here, too, Ben Gvir can take inspiration from the Islamic Republic. What about a public hanging in the town square? Entertainment for the masses is not something to scoff at in these difficult times, and it’s free of charge.

And why restrict himself to only one method? The Islamic Republic has also carried out executions by firing squad, stoning, and pushing people off a cliff. Would stoning not serve as a fitting tribute to Ben Gvir’s professed commitment to Jewish tradition?

One Month Later- Free The Tunisian 7

On March 6th, 2026, an arrest campaign was started that shook the pro-Palestinian landscape in Tunisia. Seven activists, some of whom put their own bodies on the line for the possibility of breaking the illegal siege on Gaza, were arrested and sent to prison on what appear to be unfounded charges. Let’s say their names:

• Jawaher Channa

• Wael Nawar – Member of the Global Steering Committee

• Ghassan Henchiri

• Ghassan Boughediri

• Sana Msahli

• Dr. Mohamed Amine Ben Nour

• Nabil Chennoufi – Member of the Global Steering Committee

Each of these 7 activists have played a vital role in the unprecedented GSF mission that was launched from Sidi Bou Said Port, Tunisia in September of 2025, an act that is protected under international law. Their mission was simply to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza and to establish a humanitarian corridor.

ACRI filed the on behalf of Itamar Greenberg, a student and leading Hadash activist arrested twice in the past weeks for partaking in demonstrations against the Iran war and the recently passed death penalty law.

‘Treason’: GOP Lawmaker Trashes Tucker Carlson — Calls for Him to Be Imprisoned If He ‘Worked With Iran’

Miller shared his blunt assessment of Carlson and the situation he’s in on Sunday, one day after Carlson claimed the Justice Department would soon charge him for being an unregistered foreign agent; Carlson said he was being targeted for “talking to people in Iran before the war,” which he said the CIA found out by spying on his text messages.

The congressmen said that if Carlson is telling the truth — and if he really committed “treason” — he has to pay the price.

CIA Prepares Criminal Referral of Tucker Carlson, as Israel and its Loyalists Demand His Arrest

On Friday morning, I taped an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s program to discuss the ongoing Iran War, growing Israeli influence in the U.S., and proliferating attacks on free speech in the West in the name of shielding that one foreign country from critique (I presume it will air in the next few days). Perhaps the most notable part of our conversation was what Tucker told me prior to the cameras rolling.

Tucker said he had learned from several high-placed sources — and he obviously has many within the Trump administration — that the CIA was preparing a criminal referral about him to the DOJ. The subject of the agency’s report of suspected crimes: conversations he allegedly had with Iranian officials and others in Iran prior to the start of the Trump/Netanyahu war. The clear implication was that Tucker had committed acts of subversion or even treason by speaking to Iranians in advance of the war that was about to be launched on their country.

FCC chair threatens networks’ licenses after Trump complains about Iran coverage

“Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions — also known as the fake news — have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr wrote in a post on the social platform X.

“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not,” he warned.

FCC Chair Threatens to Revoke Broadcast Licenses Over Iran War Coverage

Amid surging oil prices and an unpopular war of choice in Iran, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr is threatening not to renew the licenses of broadcasters for “running hoaxes and news distortions.” The Saturday post from Carr on X is not subtle: It explicitly warns broadcasters that they “have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.”

Carr’s missive came in response to a Truth Social post on Saturday from President Donald Trump, which the FCC chair included in full as a screenshot.

Posten von Raketen: Katar verhaftet 313 Personen

Das Vorgehen Katars reiht sich in eine Welle ähnlicher Maßnahmen in der Golfregion ein. In Bahrain, Kuwait, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Saudi-Arabien wurden ebenfalls Personen verhaftet oder gewarnt, keine Bilder von Schäden oder Angriffen zu veröffentlichen. Aus dem Iran gibt es ohnehin kaum Videos, da das Internet dort seit fast zwei Wochen weitgehend abgeschaltet ist. Auch in Israel haben die Behörden neue Zensurrichtlinien verkündet.

Es ist ein Krieg der wenigen authentischen Bilder, während KI-generierte Videos und Falschinformationen das Netz fluten.

Judge Restricts Immigration Agents’ Actions Toward Minnesota Protesters

Judge Kate M. Menendez ordered agents not to retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity,” and not to use pepper spray or other “crowd dispersal tools” in retaliation for protected speech. The judge also said agents could not stop or detain protesters in vehicles who were not “forcibly obstructing or interfering with” agents.

The ruling, which granted a preliminary injunction, stems from a lawsuit brought by activists who said agents had violated their rights. The suit was filed before an immigration agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

Governor Walz Statement on Reports of Alleged Department of Justice Investigation

January 17, 2026

[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today released the following statement after reports of an alleged investigation by the Department of Justice.

“Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

“The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.”

The office of the Governor has not received any notice of the investigation.

The Governor has repeatedly, unequivocally, called for peace and a lowering of the temperature. He has made that appeal directly to the President.

Federal forces have stormed the state, shooting two people and killing Renee Good. The Department of Justice drove six federal prosecutors – including the longtime career prosecutor leading the charge to investigate and eliminate fraud in our state’s programs – to quit their jobs rather than go along with this assault on the United States Constitution. Leaders of the Republican Party have called for impeachment, for the Governor to be put in cuffs, for a day of retribution.

We trust Minnesotans to see past this projection.
