Trump Administration to Criminally Investigate Beloved Mother of Three It Already Murdered—and Her Grieving Widow, Too
What this regime has already done—and is now planning to do—to a citizen its agent killed in cold blood is among the most contemptible executive-branch abuses of power America has ever seen.

Sen. Ossoff: Trump doesn't care what working class and middle-class Americans are going through. What Donald Trump cares about, above all, is retribution. He cares about harassing and persecuting and punishing the people he believes to be his enemies, whether it's J Powell or members of the Senate.

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.
Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.
Remember this.

At just 15, she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, serving as a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the end of segregation.

The administration is sending 1,000 more ICE agents to Minnesota. That's over 3,000 federal agents flooding our streets, almost triple the combined police forces of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
