Parkland and Minneapolis didn’t wait for Washington. They organized, told the truth, and stayed loud after the cameras left — and the country followed.

That’s the lesson: determined communities drive real change.

I wrote about what Parkland’s example still teaches us now.

I hate to admit it, but ICE did arrest one of the worst. Armando Fernández Larios was an agent of Pinochet’s notorious secret police (DINA) and participated in the 1976 Washington, DC car bomb assassination of my IPS colleagues Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. He was arrested in Fort Myers.

YOU CAN PRINT THAT... honestly, too many outlets not being able to share this obvious and dangerous truth is a big part of how we've gotten to where we are.
“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”
