Arresting journalists.

Fatally shooting protestors.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

BREAKING: Border Patrol's notorious lead agent, Greg Bovino, is reportedly withdrawing from Minneapolis following public pressure.

The power of the people works — but our communities need safety. We call on Congress to demand ICE and Border Patrol leave Minneapolis now.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

ICE and CBP death squads are killing innocent people, terrorizing our communities, and violating our constitutional rights — and the House just voted to give them more money.

Demand that your senators use their upcoming vote on the DHS funding bill to rein in the regime’s secret police.

Today, out-of-control masked federal agents killed another American, Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse.

Trump needs to end this chaos and withdraw his ICE battalions from Minneapolis.

The Senate must vote down funding this slaughter of our people.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

This is the must-read of the day.
The way to avoid losing freedom is to use it, says Masha Gessen: “to claim all the room there still is for speaking, writing, publishing, protesting, voting. It’s what the people of Minnesota appear to be doing, and it’s something each of us needs to do — right now, while we still can.”

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

This piece gets at something that I've been struggling to articulate: We've seen this exact push-pull before. When Republicans were out of power in the 1990s they invented "political correctness" to pretend they were being censored. Then they went right back to censoring once they had power again.

After increasing spending to $134,000 per student (!!!) and facing retention problems, the New College of Florida is apparently having discussions about privatization or closure after DeSantis leaves office.
Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida
Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.
