ICE Out for Good On January 23, people across the country are taking action in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE out of our communities. Join the day of action.

Organizers in Minnesota have asked that the rest of us help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Call or email Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.

Despite constant teargassing, brutal detentions, and the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Minnesotans have stood up against Trump's invasion of their state in remarkable numbers and with tremendous courage.

As the years go by and the last eyewitnesses to the Holocaust pass away, it's more important than ever to keep that tragic memory alive — and to remember the stark lessons of what happens when a society gives power to hate and racism.

Hitler, Jews, and the Holocaust Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s problems. Over the years, the Nazis targeted Jews with increasingly evil treatment, leading to the "Final Solution" — mass extermination. We visit the Auschwitz-Birken...

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

ICE watch volunteer: "We have shown up day after day for 8 weeks to protect each other and to protect our neighbors."

Black-and-white portrait photograph of Beatrice Muriel Hill Tinsley (1941–1981), the brilliant New Zealand-born astronomer and cosmologist who revolutionized our understanding of galaxy evolution. She is shown in a close-up headshot against a plain, softly lit gray background, smiling warmly and just past the camera with an intelligent, approachable, and joyful expression. Tinsley has short, wavy dark hair styled in soft curls that frame her face, and she wears earrings with round pearl or gem accents. Her eyes are bright and engaging, and her expression radiates quiet confidence and enthusiasm, capturing her during her groundbreaking career in the 1960s or early 1970s when she developed influential models of stellar populations and demonstrated that galaxies evolve significantly over cosmic time.

Beatrice Tinsley was born #OTD in 1941.

British-born New Zealand astronomer and cosmologist, and the first female professor of #astronomy at Yale University, whose research made fundamental contributions to the astronomical understanding of how galaxies evolve, grow, and die. #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities.

Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

BREAKING NEWS: Melania has been nominated to win the inaugural FIFA Academy Award for Best Picture.

The Trump Administration CANNOT be trusted to truthfully investigate their federal agents. Given what happened in Minnesota, they've made this clear.

Our local and state law enforcement have the absolute authority to investigate any potential crimes committed by federal agents.

Black-and-white photograph, 1949. Eleanor Roosevelt stands indoors holding an enormous poster-sized copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She wears a dark dress and pearl necklace, looking down at the document as she lifts one corner to display the UN emblem and the title “THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS” in bold capitals. The English text of the articles is clearly visible across multiple columns. to the right in quotes is "During my years at the UN it was my work on the Human Rights commission that I considered my most important task." followed by "Eleanor Roosevelt."

#OTD in 1947, Eleanor Roosevelt began her role as the first US Representative to the UN Commission on Human Rights.

She also served as the first Chairperson UN Commission on Human Rights and & played an instrumental role in drafting the Universal Declaration of #HumanRights.
