Millions are preparing to take to the streets Saturday in what is expected to be the largest No Kings protest to date. “We are going to stand against illegal wars abroad. We are going to stand against secret police at home,” says @leahgreenberg.bsky.social of @indivisible.org.

ICE Out for Good On January 23, people across the country are taking action in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE out of our communities. Join the day of action.

Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.

No more funding for ICE without reform. Congress must act. Catholic leaders, including bishops and ideally the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a body, should join Cardinal Tobin in calling for withholding funding until reforms are enacted.

Editors of America Magazine, a Jesuit magazine, come out against more funding for ICE “without reform.” www.americamagazine.org/editorials/2...

DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’ Zeteo spoke with two doctors who worked with Alex Pretti, a nurse who is the latest victim of Trump’s violent invasion of Minnesota.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Imagine a world where government budget cuts impacted the military, making war less likely.

We could have elected leaders who work hard to avoid war and promote peace.
Let's do it next time.

The United States Congress has the Constitutional power and the patriotic duty to stop this insanity immediately, for the good of all Conservative and Liberal Americans’ future.
