Grateful for the Inquirer’s coverage of the intentional terror being inflicted against immigrant communities, the targeting of innocent workers with families here. Gift link: www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...
‘We are hiding on the roof. I love you.’ An ICE raid in Montco has left families bereft after 14 were arrested.
Immigration arrests have skyrocketed in the region, while most of those who are detained have no criminal record.

I almost cried yesterday talking to a client, telling him that this country has changed. Had to take a pause and recenter. Something about having to say it so simply in Spanish, not having the words for all the ways it has changed, got me.

Well-researched data here, clearly illustrating that abject greed, callousness and contempt for everyday people are the defining qualities of this regime.
This GOP’s agenda is a moral abomination .. If there is anything worth taking to the streets for peaceful protest, it is this sort of massive, regressive redistribution from the already-struggling to the no-amount-is-ever-enough billionaire class.
