After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

WAKE UP. THE PRESIDENT IS DECLARING HIS INTENTION TO USE US TROOPS AGAINST AMERICAN CITIES THAT VOTED AGAINST HIM. If you have access to elites, it’s your moral obligation to go scream at them, physically shake them around if you can, until they realize WHAT IS HAPPENING. Stop pretending!

NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.

According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

Maxwell has been transferred from prison to what’s basically a country club facility.

BOP rules prohibit a convicted sex offender like her from receiving such a privilege.

This is the corrupt quo in return for her quid: saying whatever Trump wants.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.

CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker.

We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.

But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Just a reminder to all who are protesting.

Be loud, be proud, but also don't instigate violence or vandalism. Stay peaceful, stay telegenic, and make it very, very clear for the cameras that if there's violence going on, it's the feds doing it.

Yet citizens trying to stop mass kidnappings in their own community,

and without warrants),

of neighbors, friends & family members being deported to work prison camps in a violent country without due process,

are the insurrectionists?

Remember when 47 threatened GOP senators not to pass the Secure The Border Act (H.R. 2) so that he could run on the immigration issue? Conservatives got virtually everything they wanted in the bill, but they bowed to 47. The entire GOP own the actions of ICE and CBP; and lack of due process.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

Trump is pulling a reverse Robin Hood - he’s taking from the poor to give to the ultra-rich.

ICE lied to a Kansas mom tricking her into showing up for green card—it was a trap to detain her.

She was sent a letter of approval for a permanent residency interview—her husband became U.S. citizen in March.

"We were lied to, and our family has been torn apart," cried her daughter.
