Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

ICE uses children as bait.

They did it with little Liam Ramos, the boy in the blue bunny hat.

He ended up being detained in a camp until public pressure got him released.

This 14 year old girl was taken & transported across state lines.

It’s kidnapping.

I keep trying to get more people to care but the few that do are the only ones who are still here.

Have any of you ever had to care for your sick child and felt completely helpless?

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work Years after voters amended the state’s constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards “compel and coerce” work.

Colorado is the first state where advocates have secured a court ruling forcing prison officials to stop using solitary confinement to compel labor from incarcerated people. “It’s exciting and it’s amazing,” says one advocate in the state.

Wearing All Black at Protests Makes You Guilty of Terrorism, Prosecutors Tell Jury The case is a major test of the Trump administration's push to label "antifa" protesters as terrorists.

The federal government is explicitly arguing that "wearing black clothes" at a noise demonstration is "enough to convict the eight defendants accused of material support" for terrorism. The outcome of this trial cold be catastrophic.

A man in a burgundy hoodie takes a selfie next to a person in a black head covering and surgical mask lying in what appears to be a hospital bed with an IV drip overhead. Two young girls, one crying, the other with hands clasped in prayer, sit on a woven mat against a backdrop of a makeshift refugee camp under a partly cloudy sky.

You can make a difference just by reposting.

Scrolling past does nothing but make you feel worse about yourself. Why would you do that.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
