BlackRock now owns more single-family homes than any landlord in American history. 340,000 houses. Buying 3,000 more every month.

They're not buying them to live in. They're buying them so you can't.

Fascism doesn't just arrive overnight, it behaves exactly as we have been watching over the past year.
Fascism wins when people choose to take their rights for granted. We cannot comply in advance, doing so will only give them more ground

Have you heard of Citizens Bank? No? Well Citizens Bank happens to finance ICE detention centers through CoreCivic & Geo Group.

Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank

A group of people, National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee, have recently gotten the spotlight for a movement to withhold taxes. This is arguably one of the oldest forms of protest in the United States, glad to see it alive and well in 2026

Dr. Lara Jones, a pediatric critical care specialist, still remembers her visceral reaction to the image of Liam Ramos. It wasn’t the most famous one, of the 5yo boy in a blue bunny winter hat and superhero backpack. It was one from days later, of him slumped in his father’s arms in custody in Texas

These are letters and drawings from children at the Dilley Detention Center in Texas.

Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst.” He’s going after kids — who should be home, in school, and playing with their friends.

This is absolutely heartbreaking — and it must end.

Notice how the first ICE agent couldn’t handle it anymore so he switched out with his buddy. The fascist hate being laughed at, it takes away the threatening image they wish to portray. Videos like this remind us, they’re nothing but little men

“These are the so-called ‘violent protesters’ authorities claimed made law enforcement fear for their lives.”

Moments later, Vermont State Police, working alongside ICE, deployed tear gas and flash grenades against the crowd.

Here's what nobody's talking about regarding the Iran war: a third of the world's traded fertilizer moves through the (now closed) Strait of Hormuz. Spring planting is happening right now across the American Midwest. Urea prices jumped 30% in one week.

This is coming for your grocery bill.

Remember when Trump “joked” about canceling elections during a war? It’s not a joke anymore. With the war in Iran escalating, the administration is moving to nationalize our elections and block millions of votes.
