BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

With Republicans it's always "no", "no", "no". Too expensive, too much bureaucracy, "DEI", "too much power to the president" (hah!). With them it's always fear mongering, culture wars and no solutions. Just no, no, no.

All the social safety net initiatives Republicans shit down that would have given people the ability to start businesses and take career risks? Or education initiatives to make sure we are training people in fields we need more expertise in?

In Oct. 2024, the ACLU of Connecticut filed for the immediate release of a video showing the death of J’Allen Jones after correctional officers attempted a strip search inside the Garner Correctional Institution. It is imperative the people know what is being done in our names behind prison walls.

If your party leadership is trying to force you to buy cars made by a billionaire, it's safe to assume your party does not represent the working class.

WHOA. On March 15, a Cornell PhD student with UK and Gambian citizenship, here on a student visa, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump's EO aimed at foreign students accused of "antisemitism. Last night, the DOJ emailed asking him to come to ICE to be detained and put into removal proceedings.
