ICE deports 10 Cuban refugees—to African country they've never been to.
"This is a kidnapping," woman said.
"Tricked us saying we were going to Miami—ended up in Africa.
Hands & feet shackled entire 25 hour flight.
"They hit me, pulled my hair, threw me against plane windows," said another woman.
"It was horrible! They forced me down among men."
Several women showed marks and bruises on their arms—and swollen feet that made it hard to walk after being shackled.
Their passports and phones were confiscated or destroyed by ICE agents.
Leaving them without identification or a way to contact anyone.
Now worry about being detained by local police in Bangui, Central African Republic—because they have no documents or legal status.

Dolores Huerta never accepted injustice as inevitable, extending her compassion from the picket line to her plate by refusing to eat animals. PETA and PETA Latino urges everyone to honor her legacy by challenging exploitation in all its forms. A kinder world for all is within reach: ¡Sí, se puede!

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

BREAKING: LOL! The real reason why Trump is so angry about President Obama's hilarious Cheesecake Factory joke is revealed — and it's TOO perfect.
We should have known...
According to financial disclosures obtained by The Daily Beast, Trump is actually heavily invested in the Cheesecake Factory. Last year, he bought between $35,007 and $175,000 worth of stock in the company, at the same time that his hideous renovations were underway at the White House.
He bought and sold stock in the company over the course of the year and as of December 31, 2025 he still held between $15,001 and $50,000 in stock that we know about and received a dividend of up to $2,000.
It's certainly not a stretch to imagine that Trump invested in the restaurant franchise because he loves its gaudy aesthetic, and then took direct inspiration for his changes to the Oval Office. If so, it makes Obama's joke land even harder. The former President said that Trump has the White House looking like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory."
As we've stated before and despite what right-wing media is breathlessly insisting, this is not a classist attack on the Cheesecake Factory. There's nothing inherently wrong with the popular restaurant. What we're saying is that the White House should have a bit more dignity and a little less resemblance to a place where you can order Pigs in a blanket.
Clearly, Trump's apoplectic response to Obama's jab is twofold. He's furious that his absolutely awful taste in aesthetics is being thrown in his face. And then secondly, he's worried that the joke could hurt a brand that he's invested in. He whined that it's a “a very successful company” and accused Obama of being “stupid."
And look, this Cheesecake Factory is an amusing little saga that has nothing to do with the material problems that voters are facing. But at the same time, Trump's insane response shows just how easily baited and derailed he is. Instead of talking about affordability or gas prices, he's ranting about this every time he gets up in front of a mic. Obama played it masterfully.
Please ❤️ and share if you miss Obama!

This is incredibly disturbing. Candidates for office of either party cannot be subjected to threats of violence, directly or indirectly. I hope this is just a coincidental thing here, but regardless, so dangerous to shoot into a vehicle, no matter the circumstances.

Protesters carried signs with slogans including "Freedom for all, from the river to the sea" and "Yes to a Jewish-Arab government."

🚨 They're STILL covering up the Epstein Files. Blanche specifically said there was no classified material in the Epstein Files — was that a lie? What are they hiding?
This coverup is illegal & needs to end now.

Joe Biden promised to put the 1st black woman on the US Supreme Court. donald trump is promising to put the Senator—who fled his state for Cancun while his constituents were freezing in one of the worst winter storms in Texas history—on the Court. Both parties are not the same.
