The community-by-community fight against the human warehouses is continuing. ICE is still trying to push forward with their plans to cram 1,500 people into a converted industrial site near Williamsport, Maryland, holding more captives than they indicated and increasing the impact on local sewage systems more than they pledged. Right now local activists are working to take advantage of an open public comment period for an environmental assessment to stop them – a period that exists thanks to a lawsuit by the state’s attorney general.

✍🏻 TODAY is the final day to submit our environmental comments to DHS. The great folks at Hagerstown Rapid Response have set up a form to make our voices heard with instructions on how to speak up effectively here and outlined concerns we can raise here - and they’re specifically asking people to speak up from anywhere. Let’s use their tool to register our objections to this ICE camp. ✍🏾

In case you missed it, “The Patriot Front” aka the KKK 2.0 marched through DC on the 4th of July 🤮 All Trump is doing is normalizing racism and white supremacy and making white supremacists more bold.

Flock cameras

During Trump’s July 4th event, a thunderstorm forced attendees to seek shelter in the National Museum of African American History and Culture 🤡

BREAKING: Trump's July 4th Disaster

Folks last night in Chicago were shooting fireworks towards the Trump building ✨

The world gets a little bit safer every day a Flock camera goes down.

Who would’ve guessed Trump’s Freedom 250 event would be a disaster?

TK Civics, ban money In politics

Stop Making Everything About Race!

We’re a global disgrace. This happened in Dallas, TX yesterday while the Egyptian national football team was meeting with some fans and taking photos.

Major Jason Watson, active Air Force officer, shares his thoughts on what’s preventing America from being great.

So, they lost the Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship and now their racist and sexist solution is to deny entry to all female foreigners and require STERILIZATION of all foreign visitors prior to entry into the United States…

What being American and patriotic actually means.

Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Khader Al-Ashqar was killed by fire from Israeli Defense Forces while trying to secure a cooking gas cylinder for his family in southern Gaza.

In case you missed it, yesterday, a group of performers rehearsing for Freedom 250 narrowly missed a huge piece of the stage from trampling them to death.

In case you missed it, an active duty Air Force officer, Major Jason Watson was arrested on the steps of the US Capitol for protesting the Trump regime and the US government’s nonsensical foreign wars.

Protestor hit by ICE in a red car at Delaney Hall a little less than a month ago tells us how she’s doing ever since they hit her, and what she did right after she was hit by ICE agents.

LAST DAY to comment in opposition to human warehouse in Maryland

We NEED new blood. Because this is unacceptable. We must pack the Supreme Court.

BREAKING: There are two people at the top of the Empire State Building flying a banner that says “WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE BEATS THE LOVE OF POWER, THE WORLD KNOWS PEACE”.
