Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Having a hard time keeping up with things in your daily life?

World outside seems upside down?

No longer enjoying the same things you once did?

Future feels dark and scary?

You may be experiencing fascism. Fortunately, there’s a cure!

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

Top congressional leaders head to the White House ahead of shutdown deadline After canceling an earlier meeting, President Trump is planning to meet with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders on Monday. Congress must pass or extend a spending bill before Oct. 1 to prevent a shutdown.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us!

Governor Pritzker, thank you for monitoring the horrific events unfolding at the Broadview ICE facility. Do whatever you can to protect people's right to protest, to observe, and to live!

The tragedy—and tyranny—of Donald Trump’s war on “woke” “It really does alter our ability as a collective society to be able to identify and discuss reality."

“It really does alter our ability as a collective society to be able to identify and discuss reality.”

YouTube video by Dylan Blaha ICE escalates attacks against protesters in Chicago

At 8:35 pm last night, ICE and Border Patrol took their violence against protestors to another level. They attacked everyone, including members of the media.

This is an assault on our civil rights. This is an assault on what it means to be American.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Let's plan some good trouble tomorrow!

We don’t want to hear about the Bermuda Triangle. We don’t want to read the classified documents about Amelia Earhart. We don’t give a damn about who stopped the UN escalator. We know acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism. We also know that Tmurp needs to #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

💯 fear-mongering 💯 total executive overreach 💯 Do not let the extremist, right-wing nationalist authoritarians in the GOP silence you, America. #nokings #democracy #standupfightback #constitution #fiftyfiftyone #Indivisible #oct18
