I miss decency, humanity, and service.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Trump whitewashes Black History Month A celebration is acceptable only when it becomes a sanitized MAGA vision of America.

Trump so desperately wants his monolith. All Americans need to fight now more than ever for a complex, democratic past.

In the end, that may become the real meaning of Black History Month in our semiquincentennial year.

It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."
