The viciousness of Trump's gestapo is without bound. Let every POC be warned. Nowhere is safe; wherever laws can be perverted to snatch the innocent from the arms of Justice, Trump's menacing masked ICE goons will find a way to tear you from her. Depend on it.

Public policy should prohibit companies like #Heineken & #Nestlé from depleting water tables. Water is a PUBLIC resource.

Donald Trump’s billionaire donors are pushing a new gas terminal on the coast of British Columbia. It would be 100% American owned – and built in Korea. BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR IT.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
