Stop watching the news on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX entertainment. Main stream media is propaganda. Support independent journalists!

Lady Gaga condemned ICE during her concert in Tokyo on January 29th. She delivered a passionate, heartfelt speech about the agency targeting children and families all across America, saying her heart was aching for those affected by federal immigration raids. She dedicated this song to them. 💔💔

Turns out, Lady Gaga singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" is exactly what we needed right now. 🥹
The 'Mister Rogers' cover is for Rocket and Redfin's Super Bowl commercial, which they say is all about spreading "kindness, compassion and community."

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.
Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Donald Trump may want to call this ‘Liberation Day,’ but there’s nothing liberating for those who are grappling with the high costs of food, housing, and utilities.
Tariffs are a tax – a tax on working families, a tax on groceries, and a tax on other everyday necessities.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
