Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Local clinics and health care advocates warned that Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act would trigger cuts and closures for Wyoming's rural health care. Barrasso, Lummis, and Hageman voted for it anyway.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

We put way too much faith in the notion of 'journalistic integrity', we put faith in way too many failing systems and institutions. We need a good long think about the actual problems we face, and look for new solutions because the old ways are dead.
