Sick and tired of selfishness: in particular, the powerful feathering their own nest at the expense of those less fortunate.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

He couldโ€™ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldnโ€™t afford to bribe a doctor. Now heโ€™s talking shit about how it shouldโ€™ve been fought.

Goodnight, friends.

Feeling anxious? angry? stressed? sad?

Take a walk. Drink some water. Sit outside. Text a friend. Pet a cat. Stare at the clouds. Read a poem. Dance to your favorite song. Do something nice for someone else.

Take care of yourselves! We need each other.

I love you.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This is the crew of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla boat from Greece, the Mikeno, that entered territorial waters and sailed closest to #Gaza. The man laughing in the background of the photo is the Turkish captain of the Mikeno, Muhammad Kuchuktigin. Internationalism.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The Comey trial is already shaping up to be a comedy act.

Trump tapped his former personal attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to prosecute James Comey, and she doesnโ€™t even know the difference between real history and made-up stories.
