ICE just arrested the father of a special needs child — during his job as a landscaper with a work permit.
This is what is happening in Chicago. ICE is targeting hardworking parents with kids who need them.

Vaccines are safe and effective.
Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.
When you want information, ask your doctor.
It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Wise words and hope. Thank you, Jane Goodall.
Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

If the right accuse the left of something (terrorist sympathising, communism, antisemitism etc) the media will ask the left to defend themselves from that charge.
If the left accuse the right of something (racism, fascism, colonialism), the media will ask the left to justify that charge.
