This isn’t just a political will to power, it’s a political will to White power. And if we don’t name it — explicitly and frequently — then we will become complicit in its execution. - Eddie Glaude Jr.

May 10, 2026. MS NOW’s Antonia Hylton interviews Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr.

Description: Southern states are taking advantage of a pair of recent Supreme Court decisions in order to quickly re-make their congressional maps ahead of November’s midterms. In effect, the political power of many Black Americans are being taken away.

From L.A. TACO:

We just published one of the hardest, longest, and most heart-wrenching projects in the history of L.A. TACO, what we internally referred to as “The Death Tracker.”

It is 71 pages dedicated to the 64 immigration related deaths since the Trump administration took over. It’s not just a list of names; we spent months looking for these people’s back stories, to re-humanize them and share the truth alongside what the DHS reported or failed to report. We have 46 stories of those who have died in custody, 9 during enforcement operations, 6 after being released from ICE Detention, 2 during mass shootings, and 1 by an off-duty agent.

Lookout doing some solid reporting at yesterday’s protests!

The Lookout reporter shares that he witnessed and filmed the moment a protester was arrested while walking in the cross walk:

The majority of the sidewalk area adjacent to the Eugene Federal Building had been closed off during construction, and there was no other obvious provocation leading to the arrest.

“[T]he person was arrested for Disorderly Conduct,” Eugene police spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin said in an email.

McLaughlin said the person was blocking the roadway, though that was not evident from what a Lookout Eugene-Springfield reporter at the scene witnessed and recorded in a video immediately prior to the man’s arrest.

The story also shares that one of the workers walked off the job after learning what it was for:

Sawyer O’Quinn described walking off the job as an independent contractor after accepting it from a “third-party job app.” From Salem, O’Quinn said no information was given about the job, only that it involved putting up fencing.

It wasn’t an immediate decision, however.

“I picked up one of those fences, fence posts, and set it down and was like, ‘I need the money. I need the money,'” O’Quinn said. “Nope, I don’t need the money as much as I need my morals.

“The Constitution says that people are not supposed to be getting pulled out of their homes and off the streets without any of the proper channels being taken, and that’s what’s happening in our country now,” O’Quinn said, referring to immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump. “So I’m not going to be a part of what helps that along in the wrong f****** direction.”

He said some protesters offered help finding a place to spend the night.

“When it comes down to it, I think that’s how our country (is) supposed to run. People are supposed to take care of each other,” O’Quinn said.

Three months ago, Manpreet was looking forward to her 11th birthday party. Her brother Guri, 12, was excited about his class field trip for Black history month.

Now their future looks like a void.

The siblings and their parents have been detained since February at the Dilley immigration processing center in Texas, after they were taken into custody during a routine check-in appointment.

Their father, Jagdish, worries that months of detention have changed his children.

Manpreet is often angry or cranky. Guri has more or less stopped listening to his parents. “They were never like that before,” Jagdish said. But he understands why.

“The kids keep spinning on the same questions: ‘what will happen next? When will we get out? Where will we go?’” Jagdish said. It hurts that he can’t give them any answers.

The family said they fled Punjab, India, because Jagdish, who had converted from Sikhism to Catholicism, faced persistent threats and violence in his community due to his religion. They arrived in the US in 2022 seeking asylum, and settled in central Los Angeles, near Jagdish’s brother and his family.

When they received notice to check in at an immigration office, they assumed it was because the government wanted updated photos of the kids – they were growing up fast, and their faces were changing. Then an immigration officer told them they were being detained. “In that moment, it was like my life force was sucked out of me,” Gurwinder, their mother, said.


They joined more than 5,200 parents and children who have been detained at Dilley since it reopened after Donald Trump resumed family detentions last year. Pediatricians, psychiatrists and physicians have repeatedly warned that any amount of time in detention can be detrimental to children, and that prolonged detention can cause profound physical and mental harm.

In recent months, reports of the conditions inside Dilley have sparked protests and national outrage. Celebrities including Madonna, Pedro Pascal and children’s educator Ms Rachel joined lawmakers in calling for an end to family detention.

In February, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) imposed quarantines at the detention center after detecting at least two cases of measles. In interviews with journalists and oral testimonies included in ongoing litigation against family detention, parents have reported that their children have caught respiratory illnesses and gastrointestinal issues, and experienced vomiting and other severe health complications that the facility seemed ill-equipped to treat. A nine-month-old lost 8lbs over the course of a month at Dilley; a child with a severe ear infection wasn’t treated in time and suffered partial hearing loss.

Parents have also repeatedly described children falling asleep crying, developmentally regressing and becoming anxious, angry or listless. Older children have started wetting the bed again; teenagers have started to self-harm.
