While ICE terrorizes our communities, private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic are raking it in.

They of course have been some of Trump's biggest donors.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Mussolini had his brownshirts. . . Are ICE goons orange shirts?

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Status report from war- torn Portland. 12,000 runners ran unimpeded through the "crisis" in front of the ICE building. Meanwhile these,"radical left lunatics" were injured. www.facebook.com/share/p/1H1M...

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.

I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.

Inaction is complicity.

So ICE is going after "bad guys"? Really? In rural Newberg, Oregon, ICE seized Moises Sotelo, a taxpayer and small business owner much respected in the community, winner of an industry award. The community is rallying around him: www.instagram.com/p/DK5i774yLA5/
