You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A federal judge just unsealed the court records and confirmed what we’ve known all along—Rümeysa was taken from Massachusetts and sent thousands of miles away to a horrific detention center in Louisiana when she had committed no crime.
No funding for Trump's ICE thugs.

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

The US constitution is useless if it can't be invoked to get rid of a president who is clearly mentally incompetent.

Few survived one concentration camp. Abraham “Eddie” Jaku survived three — and refused to let hatred win.
His life is a lesson: the best revenge on the Nazis wasn’t vengeance. It was to thrive, to live fully, to love, and to choose joy.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children
