Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using armed, militarized agents to provoke Minnesotans. The Insurrection Act should not be used as an excuse to send armed troops into our streets.

Bestselling author Frank Schaeffer offers a passionate political, social, and lifestyle “blueprint” for changes millions of us know are needed to rebalance our work lives with thriving relationships: Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy. Even before everything was disrupted by COVID-19 (not to mention by Trump), millions of Americans were already questioning capitalism’s “values.” We were already challenging the idea that your job defines you. We already knew something was wrong. Loneliness, frustration, and alienation were already on the rise. Even the most...

This video was posted almost 6 years ago and though the setting has changed only slightly, it is as true today as it was then. Donald Trump, through ICE is attempting to incite a race war. His playbook has not changed at all, only the players.

We can either let the abuses of Donald Trump's administration become our new normal. Or we can pursue real justice, accountability, and transparency. Illinois has chosen our path — those who believe in the Constitution and the promise of America should join us in doing so.

There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

With full respect for those who can’t watch the video, I hope those who can will. Of course it’s unhealthy. Yes, you can get the facts without it. But I think it’s important to *feel* with as much precision as possible how murderous this was. It won’t feel good. But watch if you can.

Donald Trump is out of control, threatening our allies and lying about his terror attack on our country. The mealy-mouthed "Speaker" has nothing to say about it and Congress is nowhere to be found. So, May I Tell You Who Mike Johnson Really Is?
