And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

Millions took to the streets this year to defend our fundamental rights, and over 80,000 people joined one of our Know Your Rights trainings beforehand to be better prepared to protest.

We’re keeping up this momentum in 2026.

Department of Education says nursing is no longer a professional degree The education department no longer considers nursing as a professional degree program, which can weaken funding for students wanting to enter the health care field.

My dad always called Nursing a NOBLE PROFESSION. They are the backbone of patient care. This latest act of absolute stoopidity by the DOE is inexcusable & unacceptable. And grossly insulting to nursing professionals. PERIOD.

Trump has done well politically betting that most stories disappear from public attention after two weeks thanks to a rabid news cycle. You think this will truly be an exception?

Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Hatred of experts and reality they can’t control mark dictators psychoses. And with their power it’s devastating. Millions of Russians starved to death under Stalin who refused real market information.

I’ve pre-deployed specialized emergency response crews to help protect communities in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties ahead of heavy storm predictions this week.

Californians should take proactive steps to stay safe and alert.
