Not giving up our democracy to some rich felons who want to sell it off for parts. United we stand, divided we fall. Get loud and find good trouble.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

A 39yo Black man Torrence Medley was found hanging from a tree at Brookfield Hills Golf Course on Nov 13. Police ruled it a suicide. His family is demanding proof and transparency. Police have provided neither.
Given this country’s history of lynching Black Americans, transparency is the minimum

A 19 yr old girl was kidnapped at a Massachusetts airport and deported to Honduras, illegally.
A judge already said she was not to be deported.
She was headed to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She did not make it.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.
But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.
