Glad that I teach in a private university where they support me teaching a seminar on the constitutional crisis and helped me get the lectures online: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Beyond Disgraceful

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

More children's books should tackle the Spanish Civil War (and the 40 years of fascist rule that followed)

hell yeah

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa
by Arnold Lobel

Commemorative Edition

Who really thinks 🇺🇦 children were "displaced"??

And, "foreign leader"!? How about, indicted war criminal and murderer of untold numbers, and not just in Ukraine

🇺🇦 children have been:
Stolen
Kidnapped
Brainwashed
Trafficked
Murdered

Children that were kidnapped by invading Russian barbarians, not displaced.

A First Lady working with a genocidal autocrat to bring home children his own army kidnapped as part of his war to destroy Ukraine.

Incredible.

Ode to the Portland frog
From the mist of the moss and the grey Oregon rain, There leaps a green hero to ease all the pain. My love for this frog is a powerful thing, For the justice and freedom his ribbit can bring. With a croak full of spirit and a firm little bound, He stands up to bigots who poison the ground. He's our small, squat defender, so brave and so fast, A symbol of hope that forever will last. ~ Shane Ford

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."

This is illegal on about ten different levels. It’s past time for elected Democrats to start demanding charges and prosecutions for these actions. Not just for those ‘following orders’ but all the way up the chain into the administration.
