I made this protest sign yesterday, in honor of the Migra Watch training I was attending. After the training, I saw the news out of Camarillo, CA and am more convinced than ever of the necessity of using front-line, non-violent tactics to protect our neighbors against militarized secret police.

As GW Bush advisor Matt Dowd said years ago, “If you're arguing against us while using our language, we're winning."
This isn't it. Embracing the police-state rhetoric of people with criminal records as "the worst of the worst," even if only to show the Trump regime's hypocrisy, is not helpful and ultimately abets fascism and a white-supremacist government. One in every three US adults has a criminal record.

No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Why did the nation that used Christianity to justify slavery, ethnic cleansing of indigenous populations, racial segregation, homophobia and preemptive war elect a dumb racist crook who's the opposite of everything Jesus taught?
Is that the question?

The real question we need to ask ourselves as a nation is, WHY did so many people vote for this in the first place? Trump is the symptom. Not the problem.
Who would've guessed that "the Mark of the Beast" would wind up being just a clot of cheap spray-tan goo.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...
