Speak up against ICE overreach

I’m hugely alarmed that Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller, was arrested by federal agents. What the hell is happening in our country? The now constant arrests of Democratic lawmakers are outrageous and unacceptable. We don’t live in a dictatorship, and, as this Saturday’s protests proved, w

Not so long ago Musk made allegations that Trump is a pedophile. Why is that not being investigated? If it’s true Trump is out of a job. If it’s not true then Musk should be out of government contracts. In any other administration our electeds would be shouting about this. Thanks for your time

This is a friendly reminder that we have not overcome slavery in this country. The 13th amendment bans slavery "except as punishment for a crime".
