We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

once again asking for people to care about anything and anyone the way they cared about Jimmy Kimmel for a 24 hour period

National Event Idea - a Hands Across America style line of people connected from east to west, but it's all ICE Agents (and cops if they need to fill a gap in the line) and instead of holding hands, it's a giant Human Centipede arrangement.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

As Israel continues its campaign to erase Gaza City, we speak with Dr. Mohammed Saqr, a director of nursing at Nasser Hospital in the south of Gaza.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

The wealthy’s inability to accept mortality, and their efforts to become more than human to escape it, is threatening human existence in every conceivable way.

"I see all children as precious and equal. My deep care for children doesn't stop at any border," Rachel Griffin Accurso, better known as Ms. Rachel, says of her advocacy for Gaza.

James Baldwin was born August 2, 1924 in Harlem.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

This is a historic horror that the United States government allows to get worse every day.

Just gave. Please consider helping if you can. Right now is an incredibly important time. Right now.

The horrors of Israel's merciless blockade of Gaza has reached a point where parents "are thanking God for the loss of their children" as it represents an end to their children's suffering, says aid worker Mahmoud Alsaqqa. www.democracynow.org/2025/7/24/ox...
