Free Press is committed to documenting the people taken by ICE

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested, detained, deported, and/or imprisoned many people that it has unilaterally determined to be undesirables.  At first, they claimed they would deport only criminals, but it has already gone beyond that.  We at the Free Press consider every person who has been sent to the Tecoluca (El Salvador prison), Guantanamo naval base, or detained in other prisons throughout the country to be innocent until proven guilty. We will include students who have been expelled for protesting genocide.  It appears the government will revoke Visa's to get rid of undesirable students.  This article will be updated as long as is necessary.

Familiar tale gracefully blends feminism and fantasy

Feminism has a crucial role to play in modern life, but I sometimes wish it would leave our fairy tales alone. The results of its revisionist meddling are too often unconvincing and unsatisfying.

Remember last year’s Maleficent? It turned an age-old story on its head by revealing that the fairy (Angelina Jolie) who turned a princess into a “Sleeping Beauty” was not evil at all. No, she was merely wronged and misunderstood. Worst of all, we learned that the somnambulant princess could not be awakened by a kiss from the handsome prince, but only by a motherly peck from that same fairy.

How heartwarming. And how utterly unromantic.

Thank goodness Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella doesn’t wear its feminism on its sleeve. It has nods to modern sensibilities, to be sure, but they’re handled with a lighter touch.

The Federalization of Voter Rolls — and Why It Should Alarm Every American (Part 1 of 3)

Something extraordinary — and deeply concerning — is happening beneath the surface of American election administration.Under the proposed MOUs, states would be required to turn over unredacted voter data — including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers — to the federal government for review, analysis, and so-called “verification.” 

Federal officials — and unnamed contractors — would then flag voters as allegedly ineligible. States would be expected to remove those voters within 45 days, then resubmit their voter lists to DOJ for approval.

This is not a technical adjustment.

It is a structural shift of power.

Trump’s Nuclear Obsession

The Trump family is now directly investing in atomic energy.  Its money-losing Truth Social company has become a part owner of a major fusion nuclear power project.

Among much more, the investments mean the Trump family stands to profit directly from White House attacks on wind, solar and other cheap, clean renewable energies which for decades have been driving fusion, fission and fossil fuels toward economic oblivion.

Hell no, Israel is not the "guardian of Christianity!"

Crime Minister Netanyahu told the UN recently that Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Christians feel safe. He even asserted that. He even has the nerve to claim that Israel is the guardian of Christianity. "No, Israel is not the guardian of Christianity," and Netanyahu is a habitual liar. He denied the IDF has thousands of children in Gaza even though the IDF admitted recently that over 83% of people killed in Gaza were civilians. And who can forget in 2015 when he suggested it was not Hitler's idea to slaughter Jews, but it was rather the idea of Jerusalem’s then-Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini who met with the Nazi leader in Germany in the early 1940s. A bird flies and Bibi lies!

Yesterday, Israeli Police attacked Christians celebrating Christmas in Haifa's Wadi Nisnas neighborhood. On Monday evening, the Police broke into a cultural center where a Christmas show was on based on a "noise complaint," destroyed musical equipment and arrested 3 participants, including one dressed as Santa Claus.

A Linden-area church offering Spanish-language mass at 7:30 pm on Christmas Eve and 11 am on Christmas Day has asked for a protective presence outside their building. We are recruiting people willing to show up in support of our neighbors.
