Saturday 3-7-26 about 60 hearty souls made it out in the fog and the rain to People’s Park in Petoskey MI to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. The folks driving by were supportive for the most part. @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @thomhartmann.skystack.xyz

Would you ever hang a sign on a bridge?

Do you have a projector?

I'm not talking about 1 like this that can project super far away on tall buildings, but the kind for a movie night at your house?

What if we projected scenes of #ICELawlessness on our homes or churches or businesses?

Who's in?

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge β€” a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

If you were worried the Supreme Court tariff decision undermined the Administration's "deals", let me put your mind at rest.

Those "deals" were more reality TV than trade policy: Press conferences, bullet points, and praise, but little substance.

The tell: None were ever signed

The U.S. plan for Gaza is the final stage of Israel’s genocide. Bombs and bulldozers obliterated Gaza’s landscape, and now skyscrapers and data centers aim to dismantle its social fabric and capacity to resist.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.

DOJ’s Epstein Files Screwups Get Worse With Unredacted Nudes β€” The Daily Beast Close to 100 explicit photographs were reportedly found before they were removed and re-uploaded with redactions.

Nearly 100 explicit images involving minors were reportedly released unredacted in the DOJ’s Epstein files dump, despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring victim protections. Abusers names were redacted and all of this seems intentional.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.
