Basic human decency and empathy matter. Truth matters. Rationality and Reason matter. Right matters. Enlightenment values, including social and scientific progress, must prevail. 💡🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🌈

Immigration agents across the United States have committed serious human rights violations with impunity. These include extrajudicial killings, mass detentions, and forced deportations.

To White People Tired of Being Called Racist, From Another White Guy,
Yesterday, a Trump supporter dropped a lengthy, rambling, profanity-laden diatribe into my comments section, lecturing me for implying that MAGA is inherently a white supremacist movement.

Why didn’t Karoline Leavitt initially say the video was wrong, was posted by a staffer, and apologize?
She did none of those things.
She just blamed Democrats for “fake outrage.”

I don't want to hear about any more "condemnations."
It's a one-word demand to Trump, our racist-in-chief.

They’re deporting US Army veterans.
They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.
Such a selfish group of human beings.
They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.
