I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Today is US Independence Day, but for Native Americans, there isn't much to celebrate. Millions of Indigenous and Black individuals have endured enslavement, torture, forced displacement, and brutal killings. Today, racism towards Indigenous and Black people still persists.

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken Congress?

Our corrupt Supreme Court?

Our ridiculous buffoon President?

The fact so many people are happy and oblivious today is infuriating.

‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost - iPolitics "We have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems," said David Suzuki in an exclusive interview with iPolitics. "For me, what we've go...

It's Too Late.

One can do both. With a stage being set where violent resistance is appearing to be more and more likely, one can still take time to enjoy what life has to offer as well. Leave no one behind and know your enemy.

Pull their masks off, photograph them and share. The gov has tried, and sometimes succeeded, to do the same to us. And our only crime is embarrassing them, not sending people off to be tortured. Show them absolutely no respect. They haven't earned it. Give them accountability.

Musk is more than likely padding the pockets of GOP holdouts on the Bill. But please make no mistake about his intentions. What he needs just also happens to coincide with what’s best for the us. He is still your enemy. He is still an Oligarch. #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy

Mikel Jollett tweets there aren't 65 million undocumented people in the United States there are 65 million Latinos in the United States. This is never been about crime. It's always been about white supremacy, this in response to Laura Loomer's tweet alligators lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed at least $65 million meals if we get started now.

Laura Loomer, another name I can't wait to see pop up in the obituary section.

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out after being released from ICE detention.

"The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here," Khalil said.

Israel’s war on Iran has buried the Gaza genocide in the headlines, but what Israel is doing in Gaza is a stain upon humanity. Don’t stop talking about it.

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?”

🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

What a contrast:

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.

On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Good morning !

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

“The only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine,” said Logan Rozos in a graduation speech. NYU is withholding Logan’s diploma, thereby telling us it is not a university.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

This is happening at our local Fred Meyer.

We know. They gave you immunity.

BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history.

“We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.
