I will be the first to admit: I am scared. I am scared of what Trump is doing to our country, our communities, and our neighbors. But just because I am scared does not mean I am helpless. Instead, I will stand up and speak out, Marc Elias writes.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.
