"Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

"You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

-- John Lennon, born #OTD 1940

Move over, gender reveal parties, America's got a new craze: Was the shooter left-wing or right-wing?

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region.

We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

We the People are with Chicago in demanding and end to ICE terrorism!
