Summary
Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST. Today we discuss: • Graham Platner , whose contest in Maine is a key to Democrats’ hopes of winning the US Senate, sought to discredit reports that he had exchanged sexual messages with women outside his marriage. Can his candidacy survive? • Four detainees at the largest ICE detention gulag in the U.S. filed a federal lawsuit alleging human rights abuses , "horrific" conditions and "severe medical neglect" at the facility. "Detained people are regularly subjected to severe beatings or sexual harassment by guards; squalid living conditions; spoiled and inadequate food; no meaningful programming or recreation; inadequate access to basic hygiene products such as soap, razors or nail clippers, outbreaks of disease; and limited or no access to sunlight," according to the complaint. • Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark NJ, has imposed a curfew on the area surrounding Delaney Hall, the ICE detention gulag that has become a flashpoint in the debate over Trump’s mass deportation drive. The announcement comes amid a flare-up in tensions outside the centre, which is run by the private contractor GEO Group. • In a surprisingly strong performance, right-wing outsider candidate Abelardo de la Espriella will face leftist candidate senator Iván Cepeda in a June runoff election to decide Colombia’s presidency, setting the stage for a battle over the country’s political future. De la Espriella won the most ballots with 43.74% of the vote, with Cepeda getting 40.90%, both falling short of the absolute majority required to win outright.
