Thanks for all the kind words. I finally heard from my husband who is safe. He is being detained and it is not clear why he was detained or even if charges will be pressed.

Please pray for my family and if you can, reach out to your representatives and senators about this assault on our freedoms.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

“Shame” Chants Erupt as HSI Detains Family in Jersey City Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents detained a man, a woman, and a child during a traffic stop near St. Paul’s Avenue and Concord Street in Jersey City on Thursday morning, […]

A Jersey City family was ripped apart on their way to school, in their own neighborhood. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents turned a morning traffic stop into a traumatic scene.

This is not about "security." It's about sowing fear in our communities.

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we?

Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

Opinion | Trump Is Silencing Radio Free Asia. Now China Doesn’t Have To. The U.S. government’s dismantling of Radio Free Asia means giving Beijing’s propaganda free rein.

”The sacrifices that RFA reporters make knowing they’re the last line of defense for their countrymen are often unimaginable…Now these brave journalists…may be silenced by the very nation whose belief in press freedom inspired them in the first place.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/o...

In around 12 days, we’re going to be hit with an economic shockwave. That will be 30 days from when Trump began a trade war with China. You see, it takes 30 days for ships to cross the Pacific. What that may mean for all of us, in today’s piece. Link in the replies.

The Trump administration has begun firing appointees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Fortune 500 company abruptly fires lawyer who helped immigrant family On March 4, Clay Jackson, an attorney in the Dallas area, was at a gas station near his home when the attendant asked if he would help a local immigrant family.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

See you out there today! And remember, if you see something, say something. If you catch video of any incidents, please email it to report@ourparks.org. Our team, working alongside local law enforcement, has already helped lead to 18 arrests. Stay safe, have fun, and go make some good trouble today!

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

While you’re at it, read about these amazing women.

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

I’m on my way to Duluth to break ground on a $200 million business expansion project that will create over 150 manufacturing jobs.

Amid the uncertainty in Washington, we’re still committed to building a stronger economy across the state.

Musk is claiming, without evidence, that the Wisconsin election was “stolen.”

Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. The firings came a day after she provided a list of administration personnel she considered disloyal to him.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

Reckless. And a slap in the face to those who have put their lives on the line serving our nation.

I’m a 100% disable USAF Veteran. I know that Sec. Collin’s lied. If you’re going to cut 83,000 jobs from the VA, that WILL IMPACT ME, that will impact ALL VETERANS.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.

When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

Canada to retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B worth of U.S. goods if Trump follows through Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is prepared for a trade war with its southern neighbours should U.S. President Donald Trump implement the sweeping tariffs he’s threatened on Tuesday.

“Should American tariffs come into effect tonight, Canada will, effective 12:01 a.m. EST tomorrow, respond with 25 per cent tariffs against $155 billion of American goods.”
