“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

ICE is what happens to a society that thought democracy was a capitalist commodity to be taken for granted, bought, sold, and left to the dumbest fucks to “manage” just because they hold the guns

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

A necessary duty of charity giving is knowing how much of the money goes to the cause. $$

We desperately need unbiased journalism on World events now. Few know what or whom to believe.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Fascism doesn’t arrive with fanfare or sudden violence. It creeps in quietly, through lies, fear, & apathy, eroding rights, silencing dissent, & consolidating power until resistance seems impossible. History's shown what happens when people wait too long to act. The cost of silence is always freedom

📢 The Courage of Ordinary People Stops Fascism — and It Starts with Us

Fascism rises when people stay silent. Join the movement for democracy—organize, speak out, and build people-powered resistance before it’s too late.
