10 Rules of Resistance for #ICEOut Original
It’s time to kick ICE out of all our cities, everywhere. This armed, violent, lawless agency has terrorized one city after another since the immigration crackdown started in early 2025.

This is unacceptable. When will my neighbors admit it?
By RIVERA SUN PeaceVoice My neighbors are good people. Always ready with a polite nod or wave. Helpful if your car breaks down. In this rural region, they’re farmers and loggers, truckers and mechanics. They’re quick to volunteer for the local fire department, show up for spaghetti dinner fundraisers, and plow the seniors’ driveway in a pinch. Two-thirds of them voted for Trump. How can they stomach it? A president who flips off and cusses an autoworker.

Are you being lied to? Is Portland ‘war-ravaged’?
No one likes to be deceived. Or misled. To the best of our abilities, we try to use make good decisions based on the information we receive. What if that information is wrong? President Trump watched Fox News coverage of riotous protests in Portland, Oregon, and thought: I’ll do something about that. I’ll help out that city, send in the National Guard, and restore law-and-order. But the footage was old. It was from five years ago.

Campaign Nonviolence unites thousands for action day
(PeaceVoice) – School shootings in Minneapolis and Denver. Charlie Kirk’s murder. Genocide in Gaza. Russia’s war in Ukraine. Violence is everywhere. It’s frightening and heartbreaking. No one likes violence. Do they? In truth, our culture sends out very mixed messages when it comes to violence. We glorify it in movies. We fantasize about it in video games. We pour billions of dollars into weapons and guns each year. We pour billions into police and efforts to stop it.

Opinion: US Congress Can Stop Genocide - Why Won’t They?
Gaza is being starved – deliberately, with cruel intention and shocking inhumanity. The photos of skeletal children haunt me. At night when I close my eyes. At dawn when I rise. They should haunt us all – along with the unfathomable suffering the families of Gaza have endured over nearly two years of relentless bombings, forced relocation, war crimes, destruction of hospitals, targeting of doctors, ambulance drivers, and reporters.

US Congress Can Stop Genocide – Why Won’t They?
These months of Israeli-caused famine are worsening the nightmare Palestinians have been desperately trying to survive. Food and medical supplies are available, plentiful, and poised on the border waiting to go in. Israel, however, has set up a blockade of humanitarian relief and refuses to let more than a small, insufficient amount enter the area. When Israel does allow a few trucks in, Gazans are often corralled into fenced areas, and shot at.
Naturalize Or Terrorize? ICE Is a Racket – And It’s Costing Too Much | The Smirking Chimp
After spending months firing federal workers, slashing public services, gutting healthcare, and raising taxes for everyone but the rich, our country just wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a detention center in Florida. Dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, it’s nothing more than a collection of tents on an old airstrip in a swamp. It has already flooded. It cost $450 million. For reference, that’s what it costs to build a skyscraper in New York City.

Campaign Nonviolence Action Days in challenging times
For 12 years, Campaign Nonviolence has worked with tens of thousands of people to build a culture of active nonviolence. Looking at the devastating violence in our world — from racism to war to poverty to the climate crisis — we asked people to join us in engaging the transformative power of nonviolence in our lives, communities and society. Thousands of groups joined in. Over the years, they’ve marched against gun violence. Created zones of peace in violence-prone areas. Shut down military bases.
ICE Is a Racket - And It’s Costing Too Much: Naturalize Or Terrorize?
Naturalization shouldn’t be so hard. Our response to undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be armed agents, militarized vehicles, and snatching them off the street.

OPINION: Naturalize Or Terrorize? ICE Is a Racket – And It’s Costing Too Much - The Clinton Chronicle
"Our entire immigration policy and system is wasteful and cumbersome. And we’re paying for it. You. Me. Working class people. Because, remember: the entire system of ICE and detention centers is a government program that the rich aren’t paying for – they just got their taxes lowered. This is being paid for by hardworking Americans like us who are already struggling to get by.

Are we great yet?
“It takes time.” That’s what people keep saying in response to concerns about the Trump administration. “It’ll take time before he can get the good stuff done.” They say the promised benefits to this chaos are coming soon. Don’t hold your breath. The egg prices are still sky-high. How much time will it take for those to come down? Trump passed 200 executive orders in his first day in office. Not one of them taxed the rich. Not one of them lowered your taxes.

DOGE Is Hiring. The Response Did Not Disappoint.
DOGE’s hiring site has become a focal point for cathartic and even strategic outrage, underscoring the important role humor and rebellious defiance play in bleak times. This week, word got out that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was looking to hire “world-class talent to work long hours identifying/eliminating waste, fraud and abuse.” It turns out that people had a lot of ideas about who should apply for those jobs.
This Wrecking Ball Must Be Stopped
Trump and Musk aren’t ‘saving money’ by ‘slashing a bloated budget’. They’re taking a wrecking ball to the United States of America. Even if you believe we should be reducing the size and scope of the federal government, consider this: the shock doctrine approach is reckless, incompetent and dangerous. The Trump Administration is smashing its way through our federal government – and the nation is crumbling fast.
