I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!
The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.
Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
Please pay attention.π
We cannot afford to leave our democracy in the hands of a process that requires this DOJ to act in good faith. We must act now to harden our election systems. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.
π§΅
Setting the record straight:
Trumpβs lawyers argue the Guard must stay under federal control to keep the peace in L.A. Thatβs a lie!
Thereβs no insurrection, no chaos, no crisis California canβt handle.
This is about control: flexing on LA as an example, targeting immigrants & testing the limits.
The fascist ππ€‘ strikes again: Trump administration to end national LGBTQ+ suicide hotline
The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it was ending LGBTQ+ services for 988, the crisis hotline for queer youth that launched in 2022...this really sucks

WE HAVE QUESTIONSβ¦
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, theyβre grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why arenβt more people talking about it? Congress?

When government officials steal people off the streets by force while wearing masks to disguise their identity, it opens the door for actual criminals to steal ANYONE off the streets, for ANY reason.
Even you.
Call Congress and demand accountability for & transparency from ICE.
I'm so sorry, Marc.

After then pouring $23M into Trump's meme coin, Sun got VIP ACCESS to Trumpβs dinner last night.
Imagine if Biden did this.
Medicaid expansion has helped Ohioans get the care they need. But a trigger provision in House Republicansβ budget would kick nearly 800,000 off Medicaid if the federal match is reduced by even a dollar. That would lead to reduced access to care in Ohio and to higher costs for all of us.

40 years later, the family of murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena will finally see the murderers held accountable. Well, one of them. The other just walked free. Trump brought 17 of the cartelβs family members to the USA. Trumpβs so called war on narcoterrorism is a joke
