ICE officials insist they did not use excessive force. Yet in a chaotic scene at an immigration detention facility in the Chicago suburbs, Illinois Democratic congressional candidates reported being tear-gassed, hit with

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

I wish Americans would get louder about their opposition to this man in particular; he is damaging global public health for an entire generation and millions of the most vulnerable around the world will suffer and die directly because of him.
A mortality rate equivalent to plagues.

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

That’s if we win this fight and the people write the history—and that will take all of us.

Mike Johnson will go down in history as the white supremacist Christian nationalist Speaker of the House who attempted to cover up a pedophilic criminal regime and replace US democracy with a fascist dictatorship.

National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments.

Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets today in NYC.

After marching, we surrounded 26 Federal Plaza—the building where ICE is kidnapping people and tearing families apart.

We sat in solidarity with those taken, and left flowers for those lost.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Russ Vought: Appropriations process ‘has to be less bipartisan’ The OMB director said more rescissions packages could soon be headed to the Hill.

This guy right here, is one of the biggest threats to democracy & the rights of the individual.

He is the lead author of the whole Project 2025 document, which is still being followed step by step.

Trump needs to go, but so do all his cronies, especially this guy:

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

“It is up to all of us to fix this.”

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Look what they’ve wrought.

Trump administration will continue a program that allows certain employers to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage, effectively ending efforts to bring their wages in line with those of nondisabled workers.

“.. We appear to be driving straight into an abyss that holds no memory of what democracy is, was, or should be.
