We must pass Medicare for all.
At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

Homeland Security thugs are terrorizing my hometown, Evanston, IL, today. I can’t help thinking our neighbors are being targeted because 91% of us voted for Kamala Harris.

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.
Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

Trump avoids having to tell the truth in court so we cannot prove he has killed innocent people.
So we let the two supposed narco terrorists go rather than have the Trump admin show their proof in a US court.

She was shot 5 times but driving past not at presumed ICE agent. ICE clsims she was "armed" but her weapon was in the car she was not holding not brandishing it.
so this is straightforward attempted murder that the agent is going to get away with because he is an agent of the fascist regime
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
