They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

An ICE goon threatened to kill a person as they were legally observing a detention in Chicago. This same goon was videoed September 20 in Evanston, IL, where he and his team injured a US citizen whom they attempted to detain. Chicago | 9.25.26

45 million acres of roadless national forest. Trump wants bulldozers and logging trucks on all of it. Once a road goes in, the wild is gone for good. Tell Congress to stop him: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of. He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like. Now he's doing exactly that.

When a President if the United States has a picture of a Autopen instead if a picture if the 46 President of the United States and laughs about it with a Communist President . That's beyond disgraceful. It's sick. Where are Republicans saying this? Cowering to a Lawless president to keep their jobs

He kept yelling "I'm a U.S. citizen." They kept him pinned to the sidewalk anyway. He left in an ambulance with injuries to his head, neck, and teeth. DHS calls it "without further incident." www.jackhopkinsnow.com

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

ICE ripped 50,000 human beings from their homes and disappeared them into cages last month. 50,000 empty dinner tables. 50,000 cold beds. State-sponsored terror disguised as policy. Silence is complicity. We cannot look away. Fight back.

A Sunday mass trip to buy back-to-school shoes ended in nightmare when Border Patrol racially profiled an Indigenous family, scanning their plate despite the driver—their 18yo U.S. citizen daughter—doing nothing wrong. They detained both parents, leaving 4 kids stranded. Tear down this cruelty!

The black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.
