Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning. (Published Dec. 2024)

Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers.
Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

🚨ABC 15 exposes Maricopa County for undercounting heat-deaths. Why were some deaths recorded differently? Because the victims were homeless and officials are dismissing their lives. As policymakers, we cannot mitigate preventable heat deaths if we are being lied to about the extent of the crisis.

Trump’s federal government is crossing a dangerous line by deploying military force against civilians exercising their right to protest. This is an authoritarian escalation. Immigrants are our family, our friends, our neighbors. They contribute, they belong, and they deserve dignity not persecution.

The most urgent threat to our democracy isn’t external, it’s internal. The corruption of our campaign finance system, particularly billionaire-funded Super PACs that have turned elections into auctions. We need elections powered by people not billionaires. No more auctions. Let the people choose.

It shouldn’t be this hard to start and support a family. People should make living wages, be able to buy homes, and retire at a reasonable age. Instead, our system has sunk working class people into student and medical debt while paying high rents and making low wages.

The despicable MAGA war on children not looking for a private school voucher knows no bounds. Full funding for public schools? But where are we going to get the money for the welfare for the wealthy private school voucher program. Paying for free school meals. Then, the poor will expect assistance well into adulthood. MAGA programs to give tax cuts and government subsidies to our donors are much more worthwhile, and they are more deserving.
