The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

Rikers Island should not be New York's largest mental health provider. As the city works toward closing the jail, there is a clear path to fixing this crisis: invest in community-based care, expand diversion programs, and improve reentry planning.

Alito's participation was likely already pivotal—and he still owns oil stocks.

Tennessee’s botched attempt to execute Christa Pike, as witnessed by her attorneys, demonstrates why the death penalty truly is the ultimate cruel, inhuman & degrading punishment.

All execution methods are inhumane & unacceptable.

The death penalty must be abolished, everywhere.

NEW REPORT: Amnesty International documented a wide range of human rights violations committed by ICE, Border Patrol and other federal agents during immigration enforcement operations.

The image is an Amnesty International poster with a black and yellow color scheme. It shows silhouettes of people with raised fists facing armed officers labeled "ICE" and "Border Patrol." The text reads, "New Report: We Had Whistles, They Had Guns. The Case to Abolish ICE."

BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit seeking information about ICE's use of the WRAP, a full-body restraint used during deportation flights. We're demanding records describing how ICE is using this dangerous device and how the WRAP has harmed individuals.

This book sounds so cool! I can't wait to read it!

ICE is purposefully trying to make it harder for lawyers and loved ones to contact people held in detention, making it nearly impossible for some people to challenge their removals. ICE must let the outside world know where they are detaining people.

We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

There’s no better time to make sure you and your friends have a plan to vote in the midterm election. 🗳️

We are one year out from publication! On September 14, 2027, GRIEF CAMP will be published by @sfwp.bsky.social!

The AI data center boom is expected to be mostly powered by gas-fired power plants, putting our health at risk.​ Air pollution from gas-fired power plants for data centers is projected to contribute to roughly 600,000 asthma symptom cases and 1,300 premature deaths by 2028.​

Season 1, Episode 7, "Ghost in the Machine" of The X-Files is all about AI. It premiered in 1993, but remains quite timely.

Police use reverse warrants to demand the identity of everyone who used a search engine to look up a particular word or phrase — without any evidence they've done anything wrong. Delaware's ban on these dragnets should be celebrated and replicated across the country.

Please join us tonight at 6pm at Dew Point Brewing Company for the first ever Get Lit with Delaware Writers! I'm honored to be the host. Grab a beer and listen to some star local writers read excerpts of their work.
