“Everyone will feel it.” Iran, please. Not all of us in the US are insane. 😩 We do not support the cult!

I was just minding my business.

Here is a first-hand account of what really happened in LA.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) isn’t just a measure of inflation, it directly impacts Social Security checks, mortgage, federal aid, business contracts, and worker pay. It’s foundational to understanding how the economy is working for everyday Americans. But now? It’s becoming far less accurate.

Kansas City tenants are declaring victory after an 8-month rent strike. The investor who bought their building was ousted, and they have a signed agreement with the new landlord capping rents + guarantees repairs. Some rare good news here for @inthesetimes.com. inthesetimes.com/article/rent...

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

there is a decent chance i never spend a single dime at target again in my life www.startribune.com/target-gave-...

Human trafficking is wrong and everyone involved up to and including Trump must be held accountable.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Pope Francis, the Catholic Church’s first Latin American pontiff, has died. He was 88. Follow live updates: apnews.com/live/pope-fr...

Pope Francis was a master of making emotional connections. He was, at heart, a pastor to wounded souls. Here are some of the most memorable moments of Pope Francis' papacy.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Today, all of you helped shift the narrative. You can see it clearly in the wave of MAGA comments trying to drown us out, they’re rattled. Small towns across the Heartland drawing record-breaking crowds? That’s not something we’ve seen before.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen said authorities in El Salvador had denied him access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran man mistakenly deported and being held in a notorious prison in the country.

Thank you!!!!! A federal judge in Washington threatened Wednesday to launch a high-stakes contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated a court order halting deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.

By the end of Greene's Tuesday town hall in Acworth, Ga., three people were arrested and two were hit with stun guns. Greene is one of many lawmakers confronted by angry constituents in recent weeks.

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

We've received reports that some people are having trouble finding events in their area for April 19th. You can check our website for events or look for your local 50501 chapter's social media and check their social media posts for event details. (1/2)

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

Wow grad students have such sway over the peace process I had no idea

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

In one of the main Freedom of Information Act lawsuits involving Elon Musk and his team of analysts in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a federal judge accelerated the case timeline this evening—ordering DOGE to produce details about its structure and authority within two weeks.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.
