Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

Juneteenth is July 4th for everybody. It’s the celebration of a Freedom that had been withheld. Of liberation that didn’t arrive with fireworks and parades, but with delayed justice and military enforcement. Of a promise made in 1863... finally delivered in Texas on June 19, 1865. continued…

Trumps deployment of The National Guard into LA is a gross abuse of power. He's endangering lives purposely, hoping for violence, to justify invoking Marshall Law. America needs to bring down this psychopath! #25thAmendmentNow #Project2025

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Wildfires across Canada are causing smoke to spread across North America, as far as Florida. A reminder that particulates in wildfire smoke can cause short- and long-term health issues. An excellent way to protect yourself is to wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

Trump and Republicans want to jam through their “One Ugly Bill.” One of the most destructive and shamelessly self-serving pieces of legislation in modern US history. Senate Dems will use every tool at our disposal in the battle against it, and we will enlist American families to join this fight.
