In a moment that felt like a small but powerful victory against hate, locals in Lincoln Heights, Ohio (Metro Cincinnati) took it upon themselves to reject a group of Neo-Nazis who attempted to spread their ideology in their neighborhood.

Tennessee’s Senate Bill 6002 / House Bill 6001 is not just another immigration enforcement measure—it is an unprecedented attack on democracy, voting rights, and free speech.

While such a policy would require careful planning and significant … Read more
The introduction of a new anti-immigration bill, catalyzed by a single tragic crime committed by an immigrant, has sparked significant debate.

Meanwhile, over 390,000 students have experienced gun violence in schools since the Columbine massacre in 1999, yet no comparable … Read more
