White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally.

We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Authoritarianism Feels Surprisingly Normal—Until It Doesn’t Life in Venezuela was deceptively mundane. Then everything collapsed.

"The disintegration of a democracy is a deceptively quiet affair," Gisela Salim-Peyer writes of her experience growing up in Venezuela:

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.
