Abolish ICE It was absolutely the right call 7 years ago, and more so now, with nightly reports of violent raids gone awry, strip-searching tourists, and snatching student op-ed writers How America created a secret police, and how to get rid of it. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

It gives me solace knowing that Pope Francis's last public words were unmistakable and clear: we must care for the poor; we must care for the migrant; we must stand with the victims of violence; we must free political prisoners; we must make an end to war and oppression and end hatred.

We can all pretend that this is just about the man in charge, but the reality is that xenophobia, white supremacy and racism has run amok, unchecked and unquestioned in the US. And I hope international students see the US for what it actually is--and stop investing their money, talent, lives there.

This cannot continue. Musk must be removed from our government. Repost!!!

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

This is especially true for those of us writing children's books that are constantly being banned from libraries/schools, cutting off vital access to kids who need our books to know they are not alone. (Plus, our advances are way smaller compared to adult books so we desperately need the support.)

Musk plans to fire 7,000 Social Security Administration employees while calling Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” However, Americans have paid into the system their entire working lives!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
