CBP is holding children in harsh, jail-like conditions for prolonged periods of time. One toddler was separated from her father and held with her mother at a border facility for 42 days. Children belong with their families at home — not in detention.

An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Hey folks. I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this piece I wrote on the perils of raising an autistic child during the era of RFK Jr. and his campaign of insane conspiracies and cruel scare tactics geared toward people on the spectrum.

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

This is how you actually do it. Create a schism between the cops and ICE. Who's really in charge? The answer is neither of them. The people and the courts are in charge, so let them figure this out with each other. Secret police are no one's allies.
