It’s no surprise Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are deciding to visit the White House after everything ICE has done to Los Angeles because MLB has the most Republican players out of any league, even more than NHL or NFL.

Why this ICE boycott wants consumers to resist Amazon and Google

He was a preschooler with a Spider-Man backpack on. He was detained by ICE. He looks like any other American child wearing an oversized blue knitted cap with fluffy bunny ears. Unless, of course, you think American simply means white.

Sinners has set a new record for most Oscar nominations today, yet Rolling Stone omitted it from its 2025 Top 20 Movies list. This is why predominately white institutions are in desperate need of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

There’s a clear pattern to how Trump has long been building toward the Insurrection Act. He isn’t “unhinged”—his horrid responses to ICE shootings, assassinations, and mass killings are by design. National traumas are his ammo. I document his method here 👉🏻 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How Trump is using violent tragedies to divide America
ICE shootings, assassinations, mass attacks, and other traumas all serve as ammo for the demagogue in chief.

Spotify is no longer running ICE recruitment ads on their platform, and it only took an artist boycott, a listener boycott, an innocent woman being murdered in Minneapolis, an innocent man being murdered in California, and 32 human beings (that we know of) dying in ICE detention in 2025.

The great irony of Marco Rubio leading the charge in Venezuela is that he made his career pretending his family escaped communist Cuba, only to be revealed later that his family really escaped the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Cuba.

If you hate refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers, then you of all people have to help stop U.S. foreign policy, like what just happened in Venezuela, which only creates more refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers.

Since CBS cut off Raul de Molina during their live NYE broadcast with Ryan Seacrest, let me clearly reiterate what he was trying to say: WE HOPE THAT THINGS GET BETTER FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY AND FOR IMMIGRANTS IN 2026.

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"
The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map in next year's midterm elections. @ariberman.bsky.social explains.

People are surprised that Univision is collaborating with ICE and DHS to run anti-immigrants ads in Spanish. Don’t forget that the owners of that network are white and privileged before they are Mexican.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.
The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.
And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.
No one is coming to save us.
It's entirely up to us.
