If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden.

We can blame Donald Trump all we want, but he is the elected representative of the American people. There is no middle ground either you are in opposition to tyranny or you are for it. Allowing Republicans to keep the House or the Senate in the 2026 elections is the same as voting for Donald Trump.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Here's the message:
Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans.
Effective because it's 💯 true.

Once protest is labeled “insurrection,” the next step is labeling dissenters as enemies. That’s the slope we’re on. The Insurrection Act was meant for genuine emergencies—not for a president eager to silence anyone who refuses to fall in line.

A group of Senators met with the Foreign Minsters of Denmark and Greenland and it was so maddening.
People in our country are losing their health care, facing price hikes on everything - and Trump is prepping an invasion of Greenland.
Here's what I learned in the meeting.

We have the chief executive threatening more violence on his people, suspending Constitutional rights and questioning whether we should have mid-terms.
We’re in treacherous times and if this isn’t the America you recognize, we need you.

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.
ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.
