A Missouri grandma spent months in detention for a decade-old misdemeanor.

Her story underscores just how far the Trump administration is willing to go in its quest to boost deportations, extending its dragnet to people who are legally present in the country. https://wapo.st/4cqbLvn

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community.

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.

Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.

The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

Not enough people are aware of the fact that last year, California ran on 100% clean electricity for the equivalent of 51 days – with the grid running on 100% clean energy for some period on 60% of days.

Not enough people support climate action because they've been led to believe it's not possible.

In just 365 days, Donald Trump has terrorized our communities, attacked our access to health care, and made costs skyrocket. But hope is still on the rise.

We didn’t cower to him in his first year and we don’t plan on starting now. Here’s how you can continue the fight:

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Why do conservatives hate Americans and America? It’s a legit question. If you look at what the conservative movement has done to us over the last 45 years (gutted pretty much everything that helped regular people and kept our democracy afloat) and what it’s doing now, it’s clear they hate us. Why?
