"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

I don't always agree with Charles Barkley, but I have the utmost respect for what he just did on #CBS on Road to the #FinalFour.

It would have been a travesty to share an amazing immigrant story like Alex Karaban without ack'ing what is happening to immigrants in our country.

Well played Chuck!

Only Scott Jennings could make #NoKings about communists.

What a disgusting human being.

Time to stop watching #CNN (which would have happened under Ellisons anyway).

Iran War Live Updates: Tehran Is Defiant After Trump Threatens Power Plants

How is the headline not:

"President of US threatens to commit war crimes" ?

Seems like folks are missing the point here.

Right?

Please consider supporting and signing!

ICE has no place using the #SuperBowl as a venue to stoke fear. Support Americans like Bad Bunny and protect everyone from intimidation by a masked, secret police force.

The idea that law enforcement works for citizens, paid for by citizens has been completely lost.

Who do they think they work for?

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life.

Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.
