Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Trump is threatening to bring in the National Guard to the nation's Capitol. He's already done it in LA. He is a fascist testing how to unleash his own Gestappo against Americans once people turn on him during the midterms and 2028 election. It's all right there in front of your eyes, folks.

An important question that should be asked, is our immigration system so inefficient that it’s causing people to be here illegally? If we had a more robust and efficient immigration system, it’s likely that the number of people here illegally would decrease significantly.
