NEW: The fight for voting rights didn’t end on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It’s happening today in places like Newbern, Alabama, where white officials secretly blocked a Black mayor-elect in 2020. What the Supreme Court does next could change everything.

Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass.

The dehumanization tactics will only get worse

Saying he’s a “criminal illegal alien & not a firefighter” is meant to make you see him as less than a person.

They do the same thing to disabled people. We’re “useless eaters”.

They want you to view others as expendable so they can commit atrocities
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.
