ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.

We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

The quiet purge at our national parks Subtle changes in promotional material show that historical revisionism is underway.

"We’re not burning books, not yet. But as Ray Bradbury warned in his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, forgetting doesn’t always need fire. Sometimes all it takes is neglect and the right submission form."

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people.

Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Congresswoman McDonald Rivet delivers fiery speech against cuts to food assistance
YouTube video by Mid-Michigan now on FOX66 & NBC25 Congresswoman McDonald Rivet delivers fiery speech against cuts to food assistance

Food for thought πŸ€”. Please spend a minute or so listening as the Congresswoman from MI describes the stated reasons for & impacts of proposed cuts to SNAP (food stamps) benefits for hungry children and seniors. Then call your elected representatives to inform them of your views on the topic.

Working families struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

Meanwhile, Republicans are gutting public education to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Heater, laying in bed, patiently waiting for breakfast.

I used to have nightmares about getting a pet and forgetting to feed it.

I have not had a single one of those dreams since getting Heater because there is not a chance in Hell she will let me forget breakfast.
