In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

We oppose the ICE funding bill.
We call for a full and transparent investigation with state officials.
And we call on our Republican colleagues to stand up. They know this is wrong.

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Some high-profile gun rights activists and groups bristled at government officials’ claims that federal agents may have been justified in killing Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday because he was carrying a pistol. "Carrying a gun is not a crime," said the head of one advocacy company.
Gun Activists Bridle at Suggestion That Pistol Justified Killing
The National Rifle Association and others have argued citizens need guns to fend off government. The killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who carried a pistol, set off debate.

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son.
Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations.
The reporter called it a "political decision."
Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN.
Is that just a coincidence?

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.
$22,000.
That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.
