We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Rob is a 21YR Marine Corps Infantry Combat Veteran who served at Camp Pendleton for 9 years.

He's speaking out against Hegseth's ridiculous threat to deploy Marines in Los Angeles.

Despite protests already being managed by the Los Angeles Police Department, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a β€œChristian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
