Two Illinois Guardsmen claim to have sworn an oath over orders, stating that they will not turn on their city

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

How the US sets its poverty rate is shocking It's so horrible, it should actually piss you off

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward
#EndCitizensUnited

These Nazis believe they’re untouchable and want us to know it.

They’re not.

Get organized in your community—prepare for nonviolent noncooperation. There’s more of us than them and we will get through this.

They are inhuman MFers.This sweet little boy was left crying alone in a car after ICE detained his parent in Aurora, Illinois. Witnesses say agents drove off without checking if a child was inside. He was later found in the backseat: terrified, abandoned, and lucky to be alive.

Repost if you stand with immigrants over the ICE gestapo.

This shit has to stop!!

Banana republic shit.

This is a piece of the Mamdani campaign that I think is really underdiscussed—that in a moment of terror and despair, his premise is that standing up against fascism can be joyous.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

We all need to fight Trump's plan for voter suppression and election subversion. We need to recognize that it has multiple dimensions. We need to educate ourselves and our communities and then take action.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.

Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.

You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.

You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.

Democrats get aggressive on remapping congressional lines The minority party is showing teeth in New York, Illinois and Virginia ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Trump raises tariffs on Canada by 10% in retaliation for anti-tariff TV ad Move is response to ad sponsored by Ontario that referenced Ronald Reagan’s support for free trade

It’s easy to gloss over the details in his daily madness.

He basically admits he is using tariffs to be petty and vindictive.

Nothing to do with the economy.

Not a care for those it hurts on both sides of the border.

Let’s see who in Congress calls him out.

ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.

ICE is traumatizing children with cruel immigration raids, then trying to strip them of their due process rights when they’re alone, without attorneys or family to help them.

Tell ICE to stop tormenting kids — and urge Congress to introduce legislation to protect these children.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Literally everybody in America needs to watch this clip.

Democrats are standing up because Republicans are trying to bankrupt all of us:

From Texas to Tennessee, even Trump country is marching against Trump A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.

The “No Kings” protests have gone national—and they’re rewriting the map of dissent.
A new study finds anti-Trump demonstrations are happening in more US counties than ever before, including places that voted overwhelmingly for him.

We have reached the stage where legacy media simply ignores Trump's targeting of political opponents for prosecution. Meanwhile, commentators and pundits find ways to dismiss it or - in some cases - normalize it.

I will never accept it and neither should you. Watch and share. youtu.be/yZR90S5DUKE

It's time to acknowledge reality:
 
Our health system is broken. It's time to guarantee good-quality care to every man, woman & child in this country.
 
Our campaign finance system is broken. It's time to get rid of Citizens United and publicly fund elections.
 
Let’s do it.

I'm concerned that at least 85% of voting systems are now controlled by GOP-aligned entities with Dominion bought & now called Liberty Vote.

Look up ES&S's wikipedia & scroll down to violations. Their systems have modems (links to internet).

States must stop using these two voting systems ASAP.

Republican Buys Dominion Voting Systems, Forces Them To Drop Lawsuits Against Conservatives Dominion Voting systems has been acquired by former GOP election reform advocate and the founder and chairman of Liberty Vote Scott Leiendecker.

Republican Scott Leinendecker is now the “sole owner of Dominion” > making the deal contingent on “dropping”remaining lawsuits against OANN & “prominent conservatives.” Leiendecker told the Caller that “remaining litigation” w/ Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani & Sidney Powell will also be “dropped.” 1/

I think these videos are going to break through and upset voters…..
