I’m a Gigi that loves her family and fellow man. I use a well for my profile because in ancient times community gathered at the well. They shared stories, well wishes, bartered, and took water back to loved ones. It’s time to gather at the well.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Tomorrow is a big day. The resistance has been nothing short of historic volunteers across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and California have shown up in record numbers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You’re making history and remember, tomorrow there will be more of us.

I have a question. Can states vote that if candidates do not pass background checks from state reps to the President of the United States, and if they don’t provide their taxes, and if they go against the rule of law can we keep them and their party from being on the ticket?

Utah is now building what many human rights activists are concerned will be a forced labor camp for homeless people.
Rather than address a broken system that is harming countless Americans, the gop want to punish those victimized by this broken system.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
