We saw actual video of ICE seizing an entire apartment building in Chicago

They arrested dozens of people-including citizens

And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties

Yet, in Orwellian fashion, Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History.

Kat Abughazaleh allegedly protested in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed,” feds said.

Trump is still AWOL, the Republican House is still on vacation, and more Rhode Islanders are seeing a spike in health insurance premiums – in this case by $1,641 a MONTH.

No one can afford Republicans’ cruelty. Time for them to come back to work.

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.

Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

Kat is fighting for all of us. We need to fight for her.

Federal officials ordered two reporters out of immigration court and barred them from observing future proceedings until they get permission from the Trump administration.

I helped lead the National Guard. Troops don’t belong in our cities.

We must not permit this gross misuse of the military to be normalized.

Republican Governors want to force feed the rotten, fascist, disgusting politics of TurningPoint USA to students in their states.

We won't let them. @votersoftomorrow.org is working to set up chapters in Florida, Oklahoma, and Indiana to actually educate students and fight back against TPUSA.

Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers.

Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom.

Gee, I wonder why?

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”
