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."

There are both valid reasons not to RSVP and strong reasons that it can be beneficial for everyone. This piece includes both thought-provoking questions and valuable ideas for anyone who attends or organizes protests. The most important rule? We keep each other safe. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

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.

I hope by the end of the month the only thing any news network can show of Portland is footage of masked men in body armor with automatic weapons facing down a magical army of giant, puffy animal people armed with fans and awkward dance moves.

Everybody needs to wear ridiculous costumes at the #NoKings protests. I don't know, I think Portland's chicken, frog and unicorn have given the movement an identity and we should embrace it.

The GOP will say or do anything to keep us from us from standing together against their bullshit. Mike "little grinder" Johnson will be amongst the first charged with Treason & Sedition for the role he currently seems delighted to play. You can't hide those Epstein Files much longer Mike!
