only 0.04% of federal ballots were returned by non-citizens. the SAVE act does nothing but make it harder for women, non-binary, non-white, + low income people to vote in federal elections - and that is exactly the point.

ICE doesn’t make our communities safer.

The Cult of MAGA Why are they still defending him? Populism, political identity theory, and the cult-like manipulation that protects Donald Trump.

Death Penalty Executions Nearly Doubled in 2025, Even as Support and Sentences Decline The U.S. carried out 47 executions in 2025—the highest total in years—despite falling public support, fewer death sentences, and growing evidence of racial bias, wrongful convictions, and political abuse of capital punishment.

More people were executed in 2025 than any year since 2009 — not because the death penalty is popular, but because a few state officials latched onto President’s Trump’s directive to embrace executions.

We must abolish the death penalty once and for all.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

Pressure your senators

DEFUND. ABOLISH. PROSECUTE.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Minnesota is the best of us.

Over the last two decades, police departments across the country have become more militarized, and no group has experienced an increase in police violence like women – particularly Black and brown women.

Is this how the U.S. "protects" women?

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior.

Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.
