Today, a federal court is hearing a case to block ICE from accessing taxpayer data.

If ICE can pierce tax record privacy, millions of families will be at risk, and it won’t stop there.

Billionaires and right-wing interests want to punish the PA Courts for striking down a gerrymandered map, restoring fair districts for voters, protecting abortion rights, and funding our schools. We must keep being good neighbors by voting YES on all on November 4.

Supreme Court:
Justice Christine Donohue
Justice Kevin Dougherty
Justice David Wecht
Superior Court:
Judge Alice Dubow
Commonwealth Court:
Judge Michael Wojcik

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said."

www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building.

Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours.

When he got home from work, Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his electronics and furniture missing, and all of his clothes and shoes thrown on the floor. Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings and hadn’t received answers from Chicago police.

“I’m pissed off,” Jones said. “I feel defeated because the authorities aren’t doing anything.”

On Wednesday, toys, shoes and food were still in piles in the building’s hallways. Property managers were seen throwing mattresses and broken doors into dumpsters.
