College teachers and staff everywhere, take note
ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.
They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.
They’re not going after criminals.
They’re grabbing anyone they can.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Why one tribe has declared the Colorado River a legal person
A tribal nation has declared the Colorado River a legal person. An Indigenous leader says it reflects how her people have traditionally valued the river as a living part of them.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

Elected officials who inform their constituents about federal and constitutional law are doing their jobs. That includes when they remind service members that they could be prosecuted for following unlawful orders because it's a violation of the Constitution. That is the law.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
