I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.
South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there.

I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.
A screenshot of the video. A crowd of easily 50-70 people is amassed on the sidewalk yelling and chanting at ICE agents. There are white people, black people, Latinos, and Asians visible. There are and men and women (and maybe even some Enbies and trans folks, who knows), and a wide mix of ages from young 20-somethings to people who look in their 50s.

Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion.

The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds.

We must not become numb to this.

VICTORY: The apportionment website is back online after a federal court ordered OMB to make apportionment info public. For 5 months, OMB Dir. Vought has been hiding important spending decisions. We may finally see what the admin has been doing with our tax dollars. protdem.org/45Ksq8b

How to do it:
- Go to Facebook
- Start a post
- Tap “Check In”
- Search for Texas State Capitol(it’ll pop right up).

Let’s flood the feed. Let them know we’re showing up.

Help us cause some good trouble(virtually). Today, check in on Facebook at the Texas State Capitol to show support, even if you can’t be there in person. The more people who check in, the harder it is for to track who’s actually there. It’s simple and it sends a message: we’re watching, and we care.

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
Copy of book "The Women With Silver Wings: The Inspiring True Story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II," by Katherine Sharp Landdeck, Ph.D.. The cover is a black and white photo of four women walking between two rows of airplanes while wearing dark blue pants and light blue or white shirts, holding parachutes over their shoulders. The letters of the title are bright blue - representing a bold, sunny sky. A color picture of Katherine Sharp Landdeck, arm and arm with WASP of WWII Mary Regalbutto Jones. They are in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the summer of 1997 and standing in front of a banner made by WASP Shutsy Reynolds saying Oshkosh 1997, having the symbol of the Women Military Aviators, and filled with signatures of everyone who had entered the WASP tent that week. Kate had interviewed Mary, they had become fast friends, and Kate had promised Mary to tell her story and the story of her fellow WASPs far and wide for the rest of her days.
