“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Postponed to August 2026 due to a massive staphylococcus infection in my right leg it nearly killed me! Thank goodness for the husband that took me into Kaiser’s emergency room and a fast surgery to reduce the infection twice in 2025.

This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in. Expose. Defy. The phrase “Speaking truth to power,” has become something of a cliche. Maybe that’s because we see it so seldom in practice. But we saw it last night, and it was spectacular. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

I'm sure it is just a coincidence that this announcement comes after it was discovered that partisan hack Bari Weiss was working to cut Anderson Cooper's 60 Minutes piece on Trump *loving* immigrants—but only if they are white South Africans. www.breakermedia.com/p/scoop-ande...

One part of Jesse Jackson's legacy I feel able to talk about is that he absolutely helped to pull the Democratic Party forward on gay rights. He did so out of both moral conviction-- because it was right--and a shrewd belief in coalition politics. That's one of many lessons we can learn from him.

Trump is waging war on the people of Minnesota. He’s threatening to go to war with our European allies. He is covering up the Epstein Files. This is what it looks like when the president is a demented Nazi pedophile. If you bow down to him, you’re pathetic.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I think we are giving ICE too much credit. They are evil, but they are following the orders (in a very incompetent and cruel manner) of the more powerful villains: Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Kristi Noem. We can't let this vicious authoritarian regime subcontract to ICE the blame from voters.

Rules Of Engagement In A Warzone : “Use lethal force only if fired upon or if hostile intent is clearly demonstrated.” Minnesota isn't a warzone. ICIS was NOT fired upon. There was NO hostile intent demonstrated towards ICIS & yet, they murdered 2 US citizens, In a way not done during a war...

You cannot argue with MAGA.  They demand evidence, then call your sources biased. You provide primary sources, they claim they're doctored. You show them video, they say it's out of context. You give them context, they say you're cherry-picking. This isn't debate. This is a systematic refusal to allow reality to intrude on mythology. You're not arguing facts. You're arguing whether facts exist.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power. They would defend the constitution and protect the people. The American people are not safe. The constitution is under attack. Remove him.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”
