The Hound 10/7

Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. It’s Tuesday. Today we’re talking about lack of due process for detainees at Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” facility, Chicago’s new “ICE-free zones,” and more.

We’re also tracking how hedge funds are taking over local news outlets, slashing investigative reporting, and prioritizing profits over public service.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that media organizations expose this corporate takeover and protect the integrity of local journalism.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
