In addition to their concerns about the conditions in which ICE detainees would be held, local leaders warned that an ICE warehouse in their town of about 30,000 residents could place a heavy burden on emergency services and tarnish the community’s public image while reducing property tax revenues.

for better or worse, this will probably be the most successful and compelling argument by communities against ICE concentration camps being built:

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

One great thing to see at the Cincinnati #NoKings rally was lots of people engaging with local organizations that had tables – there were political organizers, labor unions, charitable organizations, human rights groups. Looking for a next step? Reach out to your local organizations.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Trump whitewashes Black History Month A celebration is acceptable only when it becomes a sanitized MAGA vision of America.

My first piece for @motherjones.com. I’d be honored if you read it and grateful if you shared it.

Trump wants to dictate the past, just like he wants total obedience in the present.

The fight for history encompasses the fights for truth and democracy.

You don't need Religion to know right from wrong; you need empathy. Only a hypocrite would wear the sign of being a Christian and behave in contempt of its teachings.

Almost everything that Trump does is unconstitutional! But that never stops him because the corrupt supreme court is on his side!
