Ofelia Torres has died at 16, of cancer. As she was dying the Chicago teen fought for her father's release from immigration detention. 3 days before she died, an immigration judge ruled that her father was conditionally entitled to receive cancellation of removal, which could provide a pathway to a green card.
This was her message to ICE: “To the ICE agents who smashed my dad's window, to the ICE agent who pointed a gun at my dad, I'm not mad at you ... I just want you to know that that was not the right thing to do.”
RIP Ofelia Torres
I want to wrap your head around that number. $38.3 BILLION to warehouse humans. While millions are losing healthcare. While billionaires party. This isn’t “fiscal conservative” it’s a mass terror operation.
Listen up—those fascists and authoritarians your elders warned you about are here now, actively trying to seize control of our government. Have you ever heard anyone claim that elections should be federalized? #DemsUnited
Rest in peace, Roy… 🖤
The legendary Roy Ayers passed away at age 84…

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Roy Ayers. A true innovator, Roy shaped and revitalized the musical landscape across generations. His sound became the backdrop to every era he graced, with Everybody Loves the Sunshine serving as an anthem for so many of us.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
What just happened in the oval office was a planned ambush, designed to help a brutal Russian dictator and hurt America's security.
Trump has become Putin's lapdog, and America's global power is hemorrhaging as America sides with dictators over democracy. What an embarrassment.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
