ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

For most people, stable employment is disappearing and being replaced by precarious, low-paid work. Stability is a thing of the past now. Over 2 billion workers worldwide have no job security or benefits.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Take a moment to send a letter to the PR rep of these music artists now! The template makes it super easy

Hollywood mogul and Epstein affiliate Casey Wasserman is selling his company because of Epstein backlash. But that's not actually accountability, it's just a multi-million dollar payout. If major artists drop before the sale, he might face an actual cost share.weareultraviolet.org/s/jqrCydFv

☎️Daily Action Call, Thursday, March 5th, Epstein and Iran ​ ☎️
⁣🔹MOC👇🏼⁣
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1He3zd8rNqyB5nSX-OCjltaHltBj9A_dDkT9fZjns_AA/edit?⁣
 📚 Background 📚
👉🏻The United States and Israel have launched “major combat operations” in Iran, reportedly killing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
👉🏻 Trump has again unilaterally engaged our military without the constitutionally required congressional authorization. 
👉🏻Demand your representatives support the bipartisan war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s reckless use of our military.
📱Representatives 
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [REP] to support H. Con. Res. 38, the bipartisan war powers resolution, and stop the Trump administration from launching military strikes on Iran without congressional authorization. Congress must maintain its war powers authority and prevent a military escalation in Iran.
👉🏻We haven’t forgotten that the DOJ is hiding three interviews with a credible witness who says Trump sexually assaulted her (when she was 13! It is vile beyond comprehension). Those files need to be released, Trump needs to testify under oath, and Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately. We will not be distracted from this issue. 
📱Senators 
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I'm calling to demand [SEN] to push for justice for the Epstein victims. We haven’t forgotten that the DOJ is hiding three interviews with a credible witness who says Trump sexually assaulted her (when she was 13! It is vile beyond comprehension). Those files need to be released, Trump needs to testify under oath, and Pam Bondi needs to be impeached immediately. We will not be distracted from this issue. Thanks.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
