On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house.

It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

The Trump administration has started rounding up people with no criminal record, moving them so even their families and lawyers have no idea where they are, and deporting them even after a court has said not to.

I'm fighting back.

FBI agents handcuffed Hilliard Toi Cliatt and pointed a gun at him and Curtrina Martin while her son cowered in a bedroom. It was the wrong house.

The Supreme Court will consider whether those impacted by such wrong-house raids can hold law enforcement officials accountable for their mistakes.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are bending the law so they can fire thousands of Social Security workers.

They want to get rid of the people who make sure you get your monthly checks and help out if there’s a problem.

Trump Administration policies are centered identity politics, and they always have been. But too many only label politics so when the identities are Black, POC, LGBTQ, and then suddenly identity is fringe and problematic.

Coercing companies to purge dangerous DEI while enacting policies that will disrupt supply chains and lead to empty shelves and spiking prices. Ending dangerous DEI while promising to focus solely on military lethality. Ending dangerous DEI while those struggling to pay student loans to creditors.

I’m curious about how many “centrists” who STILL continue to blame progressives for focusing on fringe identity issues at the expense of so-called kitchen table issues will admit that’s exactly what Trump’s been doing by attacking “DEI” while throwing the economy and government into chaos.

Facebook was willing to hand the CCP the keys to the kingdom for access to the Chinese market.
❌privacy
❌free speech
❌free flow of information
“I was there for seven years, and if I had to sum it up in a sentence, I’d say that it started as a hopeful comedy and ended in darkness and regret… By the end, I watched hopelessly as they sucked up to authoritarian regimes like China’s and casually misled the public.”

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.
