"US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 US troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

1 in 8 people or 42 million people in the U.S. will go to bed hungry again tonight because they rely on SNAP. We are living through an affordability crisis. There is no reason so many of our children will go to school hungry. Tell Congress to restore SNAP now.

Thou shall not kill. He is a criminal, a murderer.

Dolan is a scandal. We condemn murder, including the murder of Kirk. Would St. Paul have been like Kirk against Civil Rights or a supporter of Paul Pelosi's attacker, or call for the death penalty for Joe Biden or call Pope Francis a heretic?

Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern-day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.
Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.
