MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON 

Any Lucía López Belloza is a 19-year-old college student who grew up in Austin. Before Thanksgiving, she planned a trip home to surprise her family — but instead of making her way to Austin, she was shackled and detained at the airport.

Within just two days, Any was deported to Honduras, despite a judge ruling that she should have been allowed to stay in the United States for her due process.

She spoke out about the injustice, and on Sunday, an unmarked vehicle with ICE agents showed up at Any’s family’s home in Austin — to threaten and intimidate them for speaking out. They even attempted to enter their home through the back door.

This was retaliation, plain and simple.

Every single person in this country has the First Amendment right to speak out about their government. No one should be punished for it.

But the Trump administration has other plans. They are targeting a college student’s family because she told the truth about how she was mistreated by her own government.

So I’ve partnered with Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Ed Markey, and Congressman Jake Auchincloss to demand that the Trump administration allow the return of Any to the United States and that the Administration cease threatening her family.

Our taxpayer dollars should keep our communities safe, not fuel Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s dream of deporting every immigrant in America.

I am fighting tooth and nail to defend Any’s family from ICE retaliation, to bring her back home, ensure she receives due process, and to protect every family facing this cruelty. But knowing I have you by my side in this fight will make a big difference. There is power in numbers.

if you’re with me in standing up to this abuse of power and protecting families like Any’s, please add your name to demand that Any be allowed to return to the U.S. and that her family be protected from retaliation.

ADD YOUR NAME

Thank you for standing with me in this fight for Any and her family.

In solidarity,

Greg Casar

MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON 

NOTE:  AT THE REQUEST OF NUMEROUS SUBSCRIBERS, TRUMP'S FACE IS           DELIBERATELY OBSCURED!

Rep. Thompson Stares Down Kristi Noem and Demands She Resign, Trump Has Another Tantrum About His Brain Failures, Mark Kelly Roasts The Regime, and Abrego Garcia Freed From Unlawful Custody Momentum is ours Scott Dworkin Dec 12 While Trump freaks out about possibly being prosecuted for war crimes—even though we’re not at war—I’m glad to have great news for you today. No ads, no hidden agendas, and no corporate overlords here. Just fearless reporting and relentless activism that is supported 100% by readers like you. Help keep our resistance against Trump going strong by becoming a paid subscriber today: Let’s jump in. GARCÍA RELEASED Kilmar Ábrego García was released from federal custody Thursday afternoon, after a judge granted his habeas corpus petition. The judge said García was being detained “without lawful authority,” and the government’s actions “cannot be considered ... consistent with due process.” And in a ruling issued just this morning, the same judge barred federal agents from arresting García during his check-in with immigration authorities today. TRUMP’S BROKEN BRAIN TANTRUM Once again, Trump had a tantrum over reports on his broken brain. This time, it was in response to an op-ed in The New York Times titled “Trump’s Approval Ratings Have Declined. So Has His Vigor.” Trump had an absolute meltdown about it on Truth Social, even saying The New York Times was “seditious” for printing it. The paper’s spokesperson Nicole Taylor responded, stating: “Americans deserve in-depth reporting ... about the health of the leaders they elect. Mr. Trump welcomed our reporting on the age and fitness of his predecessors; we’re applying the same journalistic scrutiny to his vitality … We won’t be deterred by false and inflammatory language that distorts the role of a free press.” I’m glad they’re defending their reporters, but if they had acted this way a decade ago we wouldn’t be in this mess. MARK KELLY PULLS NO PUNCHES In an interview on Wednesday, Dem Sen. Mark Kelly let loose on members of the Trump Cabinet, saying: “They kiss his ass. Last time he had people who would tell him when he was full of sh*t.” Of course, we aren’t so lucky this time. Kelly also went after Trump directly, calling him “The Commander-in-Sleep,” and adding: “All this guy cares about is figuring out how he can fleece the American people out of their money. Including his supporters … signing up for Trump phones that they’ll never get, that buy his meme coin ... and they lose their retirement savings.” NOEM INTERRUPTED AND CONFRONTED Failing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified in front of the House yesterday—and it went about as well as you’d expect. Noem was interrupted by protesters, with one who appeared to be a priest yelling: “End the deportations!” and “The power of Christ compels you!” Another demonstrator stood and said: “Get ICE off our streets! Stop terrorizing our communities!” Noem outright lied on multiple occasions, even saying the regime hadn’t deported any American citizens or Veterans. Dem Rep. Seth Magaziner wasn’t having it, and responded by introducing multiple Veterans who had been deported or had family members deported. When the hearing was halfway over, Noem left saying she had to attend a meeting that was actually canceled. But before she could scurry out, Dem Rep. Delia Ramirez told Noem: “Your options are limited. Either you’re going to resign, Trump’s going to fire you, or you will be impeached.” BENNIE BRINGS IT I also wanted to put a spotlight on Dem Rep. Bennie Thompson, who absolutely brought the fire yesterday. During his time questioning Noem, Thompson slammed DHS, saying they have “illegally tased, maced, punched ... shot ... racially profiled, detained and locked up” Americans. “Rather than sitting here and wasting your time and ours with more corruption, lies and lawlessness,” Thompson said, “do a real service to the country and just resign.” This is the kind of strength we need to bring to the resistance. Our daily news briefs are an antidote to maga propaganda and lies. And our Watchdog Coalition mobilizes the resistance, having driven 550,000 contacts to Congress and billions of impressions on social media. We even trended #RepublicanHealthcareFailure just yesterday. We can only speak this freely against the Trump regime because we are completely independent. Taking any corporate cash would be like accepting a muzzle over our reporting and activism. And we will never let that happen. We refuse to be silenced.

How do you think Noem’s testimony in front of the House went?

Eric Swalwell: https://www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/live-with-eric-swalwell-writing-americas Corporate media will only do real and truthful reporting about The Evil One and his henchmen when the billionaires owning the media are getting hurt in their pocketbooks. They have no honor or morals. Or when we have laws forbidding private interests owning media. What's the problem with "private interests owning media"? In bygone days many media outlets -- especially newspapers -- were owned by "private interests": individuals who were usually very much involved with the outlet they owned. As I see it, the big problem is with mega-corporations owning multiple outlets, and buying up smaller outlets to increase their reach. ha ha! love the Donny Dumpster image. I thought that was very appropriate. 🤣😂 Are we thinking maga is tired of all the winning yet? No winning, just whining. 1. I loved watching Kristi walk into traps, lie, and then get excoriated. I think she's toast and Trump will turn on her. 2. We need to get corporations and billionaires out of the media. The ONLY reliable news sources are independents like you, Scott. And I truly believe that you and others are crucial in this fight for truth and the preservation of democracy. Thank you! I have nothing but the highest respect and praise for Benny Thompson, always a hero. I thank him and Seth Magaziner and others for their research and thorough, data- based questioning of Kristi Noem. She is indeed a corrupt liar. ( besides being evil and a dog )shooter DOG KILLER KRISTI NOEM also killed the GOAT - remember?
