“Eventually, though, we landed at a place where legacy media finally learned the value of organizing to protect press freedom, understanding that banning one or two or three outlets effectively gives Trump tacit permission to ban anyone who doesn’t curry favor with him. It gives any future president tacit permission to ban anyone who doesn’t curry favor with them. The pendulum swings both ways, after all.
So while I understand that most people (myself included) will applaud the fact that Trump has effectively silenced himself and recognize that that’s a pretty damn effective strategy to get this media hound of a president to very quickly change course, that is not why the press is doing it, nor should it be why the press is doing it. The only justification that’s needed here is that we have a fundamental First Amendment right to press freedom in this country. That alone is worth fighting for.”

BREAKING: TRUMP’S GOONS KIDNAP MAN WHILE HE WAS EATING LUNCH.
His family hasn't been the same since. "C" is the son and business partner of a beloved gardener — a deeply religious man who was the heart of his family and his community. He was deported to Mexico without warning, leaving his son to carry on their business alone and an entire neighborhood grieving his absence.
This story is the focus of Episode 4 of Fractured, a new docuseries exposing the human consequences of ICE enforcement in communities across America.
Behind every one of these stories is someone's parent, spouse, or friend. Trump doesn't answer for any of it unless we force the issue by getting this seen.

RACIAL PROFILING: Trump’s ICE goons grabbed a man on his way to the grocery store, assumed he was a Spanish-speaker, and locked him up for 13 days without a bed or a toothbrush.
Rami, originally from Tunisia, has a valid green card application pending. He's married to the Chief of Staff at Huntington Hospital in LA. None of that mattered when ICE detained him. He was illegally held in the notorious B-18 facility in downtown LA, deprived of a bed, blanket, clothing, even a shower, for 13 straight days before being shipped off to a detention facility in Arizona. He was eventually released on bond. To this day, no one has explained why he was arrested in the first place.
His story is the focus of Episode 3 of Fractured, a new docuseries exposing the human consequences of ICE enforcement in communities across America.
Nobody elected Trump to do this to the people we live and work alongside every day. The more this spreads, the harder it gets for him to pretend it isn't happening.

MORE TRUMP HORROR: A woman who worked in America for over 30 years gave up a third of her life savings to flee the country she built her life in!
Ester decided to self-deport to Mexico rather than risk being incarcerated by ICE — or worse, deported to a different country entirely. After three decades in the US, she's now separated from her American-born daughter, and lost a chunk of her life savings just trying to leave safely.
Her story is the focus of Episode 2 of Fractured, a new docuseries exposing the human consequences of ICE enforcement in communities across America.
This could be your coworker. Your kid's teacher. The guy who fixes your car. Their stories only matter if we make sure the world sees them — otherwise nothing changes.

A new video is EXPOSING Republican Andy Biggs’ record of enabling sexual predators—including leaders of the notorious FLDS cult.
Biggs has been in office for two decades, and he’s used his power to block protections for children, shelter abusive institutions, and vote against accountability for sex traffickers. Now, he’s running to be Arizona’s next governor.
Arizona voters have a chance to send a clear message this November that politicians who protect predators have no place in the governor’s office.
Share this video to make sure every Arizonan knows that Biggs can’t be trusted to protect them: act.link/gi-5AdJFt

BREAKING: New docuseries exposes Trump and ICE's horrifying cruelty! Masuma Khan went to a routine immigration check-in and was imprisoned.
While detained, she was denied medication and suffered severe psychological trauma. The experience left deep emotional scars not only on Masuma, but on her entire family.
Her story is the focus of Episode 1 of Fractured: The Stories of Those Left Behind, a new docuseries exposing the human consequences of ICE enforcement in communities across America.
These are our families, friends, neighbors and coworkers. Their stories deserve to be seen, and unless they're spread far and wide, Trump and his goons will continue to evade justice and accountability for their crimes.
