Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

As Trump guts workplace safety, rolls back worker protections, and empowers corporations to exploit workers, unions have never been more crucial.

Congratulations to these workers for winning their union. In these dark times, we can always find hope in the labor movement.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS LYING. REALLY. THAT NEVER HAPPENS.....

www.npr.org/2025/10/10/n...

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

Tom Homan won't say if he took $50,000 cash in a bag from the FBI.

Pam Bondi also wouldn't answer.

If he didn't take the money, why not just release the tape?
