This was my brother who had DS & Alzheimers. Music brought him so much joy throughout life, but it really helped keep him happy during Alzheimers. He benefitted from DEI & an education-he worked in a salon, washing towels, making coffee & sweeping hair & the customers loved him. Best person I knew!

Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.

This is typical Mike Johnson! He cites a problem that doesn’t exist so their base becomes enraged. It’s what he does.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

1. The effects of strokes can be FULLY REVERSED within 2 hours if you get them immediate medical treatment

2. The fact that they felt comfortable alluding that it was okay to let a drug addict die in custody without medical attention is INSANE

Stripping away hard-fought benefits from those who dedicated their lives to our communities isn’t “fiscal responsibility”—it’s a cruel betrayal. New Jersey deserves leaders who respect workers, not politicians who balance budgets on the backs of retirees.

This is a horrible tragedy. There's a lot left to learn, but if it's a tragedy caused in any part by unsafe working conditions, I hope TN realizes that they can have better. It's time for families over billionaires.

OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

They behave as though he has unchecked power already-disregarding federal judges’ rulings, controlling Congress, SC helping him. That is why the people need to let them know we will not have a king.

How it's going in Chicago

After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman

Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too

Straight up fascism

We all feel helpless. We are suffering from anxiety, sleeplessness, anger, our money no longer stretches and we all want to know what we can do to stop it. Do this! Nationwide protest Oct 18, everywhere. Make a party, wear a frog suit but pour into the streets like a hard rain!

If you have to be an asshole, just remember that violence can be used as justification for invoking the Insurrection Act. We have a right to protest peacefully.
