These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

The Fear Factor

The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

ICE agents are hiding behind masks so they can terrorize communities without consequence.

We will not be silenced or cave to their intimidation tactics. We must all speak up NOW!

We do not bow to kings or their goons in this country!

Text above a photo of masked ICE agents:
ICE goes masked for a single reason-to terrorize Americans into quiescence.
Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. ... Can you imagine a masked Marine? It is a matter of honor-and honor still matters.
To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Despite campaign promises, White House eyes new changes to Social Security and Medicare

“I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump vowed in 2024. I have bad news for voters who believed him.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.

U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.

Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.

This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.

It was always about cruelty.
