It used to be: "Innocent until proven guilty"

It is now: "Guilty before you committed a crime"

My son depends on Medicaid which has provided him with his roll-in shower, wheelchair, and therapies we just could not afford on our own.

We’re focused on his quality of life.
MAGA GOP are focused on destroying it.

We’re not alone.

Save Medicaid!

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: "Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated. The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

I’ll just leave this here. And know the saying those who do not learn history are destined to repeat it is a very true statement.
A cartoon made by Dr.Seuss during World War II. A GOPer wearing an America first shirt sits reading Adolf the wolf to children. The part he reads states “and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones. But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter."

Internet Archive's founder, @brewster.kahle.org, spoke with @wbur.org's Megna Chakrabarti about the lawsuits against the Internet Archive, the importance of archiving the web, and the "constantly renewed mythological goal" of the Library of Alexandria.
