A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationโ€™s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustnโ€™t let this war do so.

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): โ€œI went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurismโ€

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, โ€œNo One Walks Alone.โ€ Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Training more Britons may not cut net migration or plug skills shortages, study finds Local workers can be difficult to attract because of poor pay and conditions, say researchers

This isn't a shocker. If you look at many sectors with high vacancy rates at the moment, such as the care sector, you can easily see that reducing migration won't lead to more Brits working, and that's before factoring in that migrants create jobs by being here.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin Oโ€™Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, โ€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and โ€˜virtue-signaling.โ€™โ€ The post quotes Oโ€™Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boyโ€™s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldnโ€™t care for him-because the facility didnโ€™t even have a doctor
