Speaking out matters. Trump is not inevitable.

Republicans in Congress are FINALLY calling for hearings and accountability.

They even sent that vile, grandstanding camera hound, Bovino, packing from Minnesota.

There's a long way to go, but your voice DOES matter.
Border Patrol head Bovino and some agents leaving Minnesota, Walz, Frey say
The pullback came after Trump and Walz had a "productive" phone call on the situation in Minnesota.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

BREAKING: Federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses.

We condemn this killing and demand ICE and CBP agents withdraw from Minneapolis immediately.

I was driving to visit a friend when music came on the radio that was so good.
I thought it sounded like Christian Scott, and it was.
The next song was Charlie Parker.
I asked myself what radio station is this? I like this.
And then the next song was K’naan.

President Trump's unprecedented effort to stop people from seeking asylum in the U.S. is illegal and puts lives in danger.

We were in court this week challenging his proclamation that denies protections for asylum seekers Congress has clearly granted.
