Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

Watching Grease never gets old... first movie I ever saw in a theater. Plus I love the fact that Olivia and John remained good friends until she died and performed You're The One That I Want together frequently over the years.

A New Phase of Trump Neofascism | Common Dreams No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. Rapacious, racist, nativist, vindictive, corrupt.

Trump seems to have entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.

But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them.

And we will not submit.
