As the Patriots take the field tonight, every fan should be able to enjoy the game without fear.

Like the patriots of 1776, we must demand a future free from authoritarian violence.

Defund and abolish this violent agency and keep them out of the Super Bowl.

Screenshot of headline reading: Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Ms. Good’s vehicle, but Trump administration leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have departed, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

This is the Trump administration trying to cover up Renee Good’s murder. No more funding for ICE. And no more funding for this lawless, lying administration.

Big Brother isn’t fiction anymore.

ICE is building a digital dragnetβ€”facial recognition, plate readers, mass dataβ€”tracking all of us.

No oversight. No accountability.

We must stop ICE now. My op-ed in the Boston Globe.

Let’s be clear:

Donald Trump’s video depicting the Obamas as apes has been deleted because it was flagrantly racist, vile and disgusting.

Every American must condemn this.

This is a red alert moment. Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to steal the 2026 election. We have to start working to protect polling places from Trump's paramilitary ICE goons before it's too late.

For 350,000 Haitian TPS holders and their families, this ruling provides long-overdue relief. I won't stop fighting the Trump administration's illegal attempts to tear our communities apart.

The latest Epstein files release is devastating. But it still is just a fraction of the full story. Pam Bondi must stop hiding the truth from the American people, and the DOJ must release ALL of the files now. We need justice for survivors of this terrible abuse.

I just voted against funding for DHS, ICE, and Trump’s lawless administration. We need to defund ICE, get them out of our communities, and abolish this violent agency. Not one more nickel for Trump and his MAGA minions.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

That was an ICE officer in Minnesota, clearly violating the First Amendment. From threatening onlookers with violence to telling people recording them that they are going into a β€œdomestic terrorist” database.

This must end.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrongβ€”and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Fire Tom Homan.

Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti
"We are heartbroken but also very angry. 

"Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. 

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. 

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Right now, Alex Pretti's parents have no way to hold the thugs who killed him accountable. That's why we have to do more than stop funding DHS and ICEβ€”we need to abolish qualified immunity and secure justice for these families.

I want to talk to you about Liam Ramos, the five-year-old who was kidnapped by masked ICE thugs in his own driveway. I am disgusted. I am heartbroken. And I am angry. ICE is out of control. We need accountability now.

It would be a mistake of radioactive proportions to resume nuclear testing. It does nothing more than give Russia and China the green light to escalate and drags the world toward a new arms race. More from me in The Nation.
