Elections are decided by just a few hundred votes. But the GOP’s SAVE Act 2.0 would block over 21 MILLION American citizens from voting. They aren't securing our elections—they're silencing dissent to hold onto power.

ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown The Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Hey if you were wondering whether Hegseth's soldiers are willing to obey illegal orders, let's ask the ones who were last seen scurrying down ropes onto the deck of a Venezuelan oil tanker like contemptible Somali pirates, jonesing to steal some oil as part of a unilateral and unprovoked act of war

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

We need more of this across the USA! Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has approved a set of new laws designed to strengthen protections for immigrants and limit abusive immigration enforcement practices.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.
