An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

This is quite the post.

1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes

2. He admits being influenced by online chatter

He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The test of being a corporate #LGBTQI ally isn’t whether you’ll add rainbow colours to your logo once a year.
The test is, will you stand up for all of us when we are attacked?
Will you distance yourself from those who demean us?
Will you still be our ally when it’s no longer convenient?

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp.

Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M.

An utterly cruel and costly waste.
