Taken: ICE’s Reign of Terror in American Cities Must End - 11.6.2025

Across the United States, families live in constant fear—not of criminals, but of government agents acting in their name. Under the guise of “enforcement,” ICE has unleashed a reign of terror on immigrant communities, storming homes at dawn, tearing children from their parents, and targeting people whose only “crime” is seeking safety and dignity. Maria Hinojosa’s “Taken: The Agents Raiding Communities and the People Trying to Stop Them” exposes this machinery of cruelty—one that dehumanizes millions while enriching private detention corporations.

This is not law enforcement; it is state-sponsored trauma. Every raid, every deportation, every child left behind is a wound on the conscience of this nation. The United States must choose compassion over cruelty and justice over fear. Congress must rein in ICE, end mass raids, and build a humane immigration system rooted in due process, dignity, and human rights. Silence in the face of such brutality is complicity.

Ceasefire in Name Only: A Crime Against Humanity - 11.6.2025

Israel’s ongoing campaign of genocide and deliberate mass starvation against the people of Gaza is an affront to every principle of human decency and international law. Even after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Israel’s forces have continued to kill—most recently claiming the lives of at least two more Palestinians. These are not “collateral damages”; they are human beings—mothers, fathers, and children—slaughtered while the world looks away.

Israel’s leaders have not only ignored global calls for a ceasefire but openly mocked them, displaying a chilling contempt for human life and international outrage. Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, hospitals have been bombed, and humanitarian aid is being blocked, weaponizing hunger itself.

The international community cannot remain complicit through silence. It must move beyond hollow statements and take meaningful action—sanctions, accountability, and justice for the victims.. Every moment of inaction is another life lost. 

A New Dawn in New York: Zohran Mamdani’s Victory for Justice and Hope - 11.6.2025

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in the New York City mayoral race marks a new chapter in the struggle for justice, equity, and compassion. A brilliant and eloquent speaker, Mamdani has long been known for his fearless advocacy—whether leading a hunger strike in solidarity with city workers or standing shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed across the world.

Despite relentless attacks from the rich elite and insults from Donald Trump—who even stooped to mocking Jewish voters who supported him—Mamdani refused to be silenced. His campaign, rooted in moral courage and spiritual clarity, inspired tens of thousands who believe in dignity for all people.

From defending tenants and workers to boldly championing the rights of Palestinians, Mamdani’s victory is a triumph of conscience over cynicism. Tonight, New York has chosen hope, solidarity, and humanity. It is not just a win for Mamdani—it is a victory for every person who dares to believe in a just and inclusive city.

Erasing Evidence: How YouTube Silences the Victims of War - 11.5.2025

Shame on YouTube for erasing the truth. The removal of more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations against Palestinians is not just a digital act — it is moral complicity. These videos bore witness to barbaric acts: mass killings, starvation, torture, and the inhumane treatment of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, including reports of gang rapes by prison guards who were disturbingly hailed as “heroes.”

By erasing this evidence, YouTube has aligned itself with the oppressor, silencing the voices of victims and those who dared to document their suffering. Such actions mock the very principles of justice, transparency, and human rights that technology was meant to empower.

I call on YouTube to immediately restore these videos and reaffirm its commitment to truth and accountability. To delete evidence of atrocity is to erase humanity itself — an affront not only to the victims but to the Creator who commands us to stand for justice and truth. 

The Dark Side of Power: Dick Cheney’s Trail from Iraq to Trump - 11.4.2025

Dick Cheney’s legacy is a shadow that still darkens American history. As vice president, he orchestrated the invasion of Iraq on false intelligence, dragging the nation into a needless war that claimed countless lives and destabilized the Middle East. Under his direction, the U.S. descended into what he proudly called “the dark side” — a policy of brutal torture masquerading as “enhanced interrogation.”

Innocent men were abducted, imprisoned, and tortured in Guantánamo Bay, Bagram, and Abu Ghraib — victims of a system that traded justice for vengeance. Cheney never apologized. Instead, he defended waterboarding, secret prisons, and indefinite detention as tools of patriotism.

His unapologetic abuse of power and contempt for accountability laid the moral groundwork for the rise of Donald Trump — another leader who glorifies cruelty and dismisses truth. From Iraq’s ruins to America’s political decay, Cheney’s fingerprints remain. History must remember that the corrosion of democracy begins not with a single act of tyranny, but with the arrogance of men who believe they are above the law. 

Hunger and Champagne: As 42 Million Americans Lose Food Aid, Trump Parties Like Gatsby - 11.3.2025

16 million children — have lost access to food assistance, the image of President Trump hosting a lavish “Great Gatsby”-themed party at Mar-a-Lago is nothing short of grotesque. As the government shutdown enters its 34th day, families across the nation are turning to food banks and charities for survival, while the president celebrates with millionaires and corporate elites under chandeliers of excess.

Two federal judges have ordered the Department of Agriculture to resume partial disbursement of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds, yet the administration’s indifference remains chilling. Senator Chris Murphy rightly condemned this callousness, noting how the president flaunts his privilege while illegally withholding food benefits from struggling Americans.

Meanwhile, 13,000 air traffic controllers continue to work without pay, jeopardizing national safety. The contrast between this cruelty and extravagance reveals a moral collapse in leadership — one that demands not only outrage, but accountability. 

Wall Street’s Untouchables: The Epstein Scandal JPMorgan Couldn’t Hide - 11.3.2025

The latest revelation that JPMorgan alerted U.S. authorities to Epstein-linked transfers involving prominent Wall Street figures exposes once again how deep the rot of corruption and privilege runs in America’s financial and political elite. For years, institutions looked the other way while victims—many of them underage girls—were silenced, bought off, or ignored. Now, with evidence showing that major financial players may have knowingly facilitated or benefited from Epstein’s criminal network, justice demands full transparency.

No one, regardless of wealth or title, should be above the law. The victims deserve truth, accountability, and restitution—not more backroom deals and sealed records. Congress, regulators, and the courts must release the names, prosecute the enablers, and end the era of impunity for the rich and powerful.
