ICE targeted an elementary school graduation to target allegedly undocumented parents. ICE is arresting US citizens & documented immigrants, all without a warrant. Now as people peacefully organize against ICE fascism, Trump deploys the National Guard against us. Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Trump signed a memorandum deploying the 2000 National Guard troops under the guise of addressing so-called “lawlessness”as peaceful demonstrations continue against ICE’s inhumane immigration raids. Please remember violence isn’t the answer as it gives him a reason to enact martial law. Stay safe.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts. So where are the billionaires who should be saying, “Wait…don’t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancer”? This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.
