It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?
"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."

The GOP is spending almost $1 billion per day to fund Trump’s reckless war in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, families are paying more for gas — on top of rising grocery costs, utility bills, and health care premiums.
You deserve better.
There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

A vibrant official NASA portrait of astronaut Laurel Clark, mission specialist on STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia), taken before her 2003 flight. She is shown in a three-quarter view, smiling warmly at the camera with an open, confident expression. She has shoulder-length curly brown hair and fair skin. She wears the bright orange NASA launch-and-entry suit (ACES), complete with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, NASA insignia on the chest, her name tag "LAUREL CLARK" with gold wings above it, and the STS-107 mission patch on the left chest. She rests her right arm/hand on her black-and-white NASA helmet. The helmet's reflective visor shows faint reflections of lights and surroundings. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag on the left with stars and stripes visible, and a dark blue NASA banner with partial text "AND SPACE A" (likely "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") on the right. The background is softly lit with a gradient of warm tones, emphasizing her poised and approachable demeanor as a physician, naval officer, and space explorer who tragically perished in the Columbia disaster. The overall composition conveys professionalism, pride, and dedication to space exploration.
US Navy Captain Dr. Laurel Clark tragically died during her first space mission (Space Shuttle Columbia). She was a mission specialist on STS-107, a 16-day dedicated science mission, conducting experiments focusing on bioscience & gardening in space. She was born #OTD in 1961.
