Republicans have a plan to keep women from voting: report Between a series of Democratic election victories in late 2025 and early 2026 and President Donald Trump's weak approval ratings in a long list of recent polls, Republican strategists are growing incr...

Women are increasingly disenchanted with Republicans and conservative thinking, so instead of addressing their concerns, the GOP is turning to the SAVE Act, in an attempt to keep them from voting.

Please call your reps and ask them to vote against it.

We were out running errands yesterday, and decided to stop by our local Target to pick up a few things. As we were walking out of the store, we saw a group of ICE agents standing near the entrance, speaking to a few people.

I didn't think much of it at first, but as we approached our car, two of the agents approached us. I'm from Europe, and my husband is from Asia, both have accents, and I think that might have raised some suspicions. one guy asked us where we were from and asked to see our driver's licenses. we cooperated and handed over our licenses. He then asked us a bunch of invasive questions about our work, where we live, and what we're doing in the US.

To be honest, it was a bit unsettling. We'd never had any issues with immigration before, and this was our first experience with ICE. they didn't seem to be hostile or aggressive, but it was still a bit intimidating. The whole situation lasted about 10 minutes, and they eventually let us go.

Thanks, Bruce.

When I heard Trump had won the 2024 election, I launched a research project into the Vietnam protest movement. Because there was no social media or even the Internet back then, much of my data came from protest songs. There were so many epic protest songs.

It's time for more musicians to join the movement. Musicians led the Vietnam protest movement, and we need more of them to join Bruce in the cause. Another epic song from the Vietnam protest era.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Fire Kristi Noem

Every time ICE abuses someone, Kristi Noem rushes to excuse it.
Video after video. No accountability.
I’m calling for her removal. This can’t continue.

Demand Kristi Noem's Firing

Kristi Noem keeps defending ICE β€” even as agents brutalize people and use deadly force.
That’s not leadership. It’s enabling abuse.
I signed to demand her firing. Add your name.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
