Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

“Much less extreme”? How about not extreme AT ALL.

Is every corp media headline writer under orders to appease Trump?

You posted a hit piece about the Portland Frog that appears to have been based on a fake Facebook page with a fake photo - look at the ears - this is the frog interviews by the Oregonian (left) and the pic you allege was the frog - different guys.

Amid Chicago ICE raids, a people’s Mass is an example of ‘political holiness’

Several hundred Catholics and people of faith gathered on Sept. 13 to celebrate a people’s Mass, or Misa popular, outside the gates of the Great Lakes Naval Station in the city of North Chicago.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I know people are freaked out by the arrival of troops in blue cities but I can tell you that here in LA, the worst abuses that happened this summer didn’t come from them. They were mostly here for show. The big ugliness came from local law enforcement.

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.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
