The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Speaking with democracy activists recently from Hungary and Poland, former President Barack Obama warned about the "rising wave of authoritarianism sweeping the globe," even in countries once believed unsusceptible to an erosion of liberties.

Mexican cartel boss likely gave US info on Venezuela drug boats: source El Mayo made a deal with the government, agreeing to plead guilty to drug trafficking, plotting murders and torture in exchange for life in prison rather than the death penalty.

Zambada entered plea August 2025. He helped found the Sinaloa Drug Cartel with el Chapo, knows the distribution chain of drugs from South America and Mexico into the USA.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.

El Chapo’s family enters US as part of negotiating plea deal of drug lord’s son Mexico says 17 relatives traveled for Ovidio Guzmán, who was extradited to US in 2023 to face narcotics charges

Ovidio Guzman enters plea deal in July 2025, agrees to forfeit $80 million to Feds. In exchange, 17 of his family members crossed the border into the USA and are in protective custody. If Ovidio “el raton” rats out enough people he may avoid a life sentence

2017 TRUMP: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Feds detain WGN-TV staffer, slam into resident’s car in Lincoln Square Federal immigration authorities hit a car with a driver inside after making arrests in Lincoln Square on Chicago’s North Side.

Who do you believe- the reporter who says she did nothing wrong to cause her violent detainment and who they released hours later with no charges. Or the poorly trained aggressive ICE agents who hit a car as they sped away with the violently detained reporter? I wonder which one I believe? 🤔

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

It’s Day 10 of the government shutdown, and there’s no resolution in sight. By the end of Thursday night, senators were heading home for a four-day weekend more entrenched than at any point since the impasse began.

Trump and the Republicans own this shutdown. Totally.

It's a very good article and it captures some of why I like Mamdani. I think some of his ideas are bad or not fleshed out but at least he's owning the oligarchs.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

When I could share some things I've endured with others (only when feeling safe & strong enough) I soon learned I wasn't alone, not by a mile.

Shining a light to help another towards healing helps bring you more healing. We aren't alone.
