The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people β€” many without removal orders β€” scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The Rule of Law vs. Trump’s War Are we ready for a Constitutional crisis?

Trump defied a federal court orderβ€”and he’s daring the system to stop him. If Congress won’t act and the courts have no enforcement power, what happens next? Democracy doesn’t survive on its own. Are you ready to fight for it?

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting β€œWe want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and β€œFight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Liz Cheney condemns Trump and Vance:
Β 
"Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this dayβ€” when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
