Another of my dad's songs that has sadly stood the test of time.
I am as tired as I look.

In the mountains called the Catskills

In the past I call my youth

The people had no money

But they all knew the truth. . .

Deaths in ICE custody reach 20-year high amid Trump enforcement push Rights groups say overcrowding and long stays are to blame.

On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight.

Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.

Another of my late father's songs that has continued to resonate.

Screenshot of an X post by James Talarico (@jamestal…; 5h). The text reads: “ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.” Below is a video thumbnail showing Talarico speaking at a podium in front of a blue curtain. A TV chyron references a “Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate” and asks, “Do you support defunding or abolishing ICE?” with KXAN/Nexstar branding and “LIVE: U.S. Senate Debate.”

Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

Justify by Trinity Nay Oh they will rip your neighbors away And if you protest they’ll just shoot you in the face Cuz if you wouldn’t comply Well then you must’ve deserved to die They’ll justify How you deserved to die They’ll justify How you deserved to die They’ll ignore any words that you said That don’t support their assertion that you had an ill intent If you’re afraid, you must remain calm But if they’re angry or afraid then they’ll quickly draw a gun And justify How you deserved to die They’ll justify How you deserved to die This has been the plan in place all along To provoke a response that they’ll violently tamp down Breaking spirits to lock in control When we’re too afraid to resist, they’ve finally met their goal and justify How we deserve to die They’ll justify How we deserve to die

This is fascism.

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics.

Putin's best week in years.

Trans youth deserve access to the health care they need — and a federal judge agrees.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

Must read. Musk has taken control of all of our money!

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

Dear colleges: If I request info about your program, that's what I want. What I don't want is to be BOTHERED BY AN ACTUAL PERSON.
