It’s truly hard to reconcile a lifetime of believing that the purpose of government in the United States is to help citizens with the hatred ICE and other federal agencies have displayed for Americans in Chicago, LA, DC and other US cities
In Elgin, ICE agents have been in a standoff with the community as they’re trying to arrest a man. Here’s an altercation between the feds and residents ending with arrest and pepper spray. Video from Sophia Peterson

It was ALL illegal from the beginning.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

We know most SNAP recipients are working but check out the sharp contrast between corporate profits and low paid employees.
Amazon is the worst.
Continue the campaign : “We’re not buying it” especially Home Depot, Target as well as Amazon and its many businesses.
Your dollars matter.

Can someone explain to me why the first felon of the United States is "closing" air space in another country, that doesn't want or need the United States there?
I know he thinks he can do whatever he wants all over the world.
But surely someone is going to stop him, since congress won't.

When gun violence is the number one cause of death for children and teens in this country, this absurd decision shows once again that the Trump Administration cares more about keeping the gun lobby happy than keeping communities safe.
US Justice Department plans gun rights office within civil rights unit
The Justice Department plans to expand gun-rights protections with a new office in its civil rights division dedicated to enforcing the U.S. constitutional right to bear arms, according to plans shared with Congress and reviewed by Reuters.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
