BREAKING: SCOTUS rightly rejects President Trump’s attempt to establish tariffs far beyond congressional limitations in Learning Resources. Inc. v. Trump.

No president or administration can ignore the Constitution.

We’re suing to stop the Trump-Vance administration from erasing history and science at national parks across the country.

Censoring “America’s largest classroom” cannot erase this country's truths. We will fight in court to ensure everyone can learn about the real American experience.

Jordan Klepper shared a message of hope and perseverance with all of us at Together for Democracy 2026.

Courage, community, and kindness are the antidotes to the Trump-Vance admin’s cruelty and apathy.

Tonight’s ruling is an important win for every single person in this county because it concerns our ability to access legal counsel.

The court is clear: the Trump-Vance admin’s overreaching and inhumane approach to immigration enforcement is unlawful and violates basic constitutional rights.

WIN: Court calls out the Trump-Vance admin for its "vague word salad" explanation for dismantling the Dept. of Education and issued a rare order forcing the govt to hand over ALL records to justify its mass firing decision.
This is a critical step in our case to protect public education in the U.S.

At Together For Democracy 2026, we brought together the people shaping our democracy to connect, create, and chart the path forward for our country.

A better future can’t be won alone. We must do it together.

BREAKING: We secured another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful immigration raids at houses of worship.

This ruling restores essential safeguards to religious freedom, and protects people of faith from ICE intrusion.

BREAKING: We won a court order requiring DHS to immediately restore meaningful access to lawyers for people detained at immigration detention centers in Minneapolis.

Access to a lawyer is not optional; it is a fundamental right. We will keep fighting to defend it.

We now know that DOGE may have stood for “Dept. of Gutting Elections.” I joined Rep. Larson and our clients on Capitol Hill to expose the Trump-Vance admin's abuse of Social Security data to potentially undermine our free and fair elections. We'll continue fighting these autocratic threats in court.

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

It’s never been about immigration enforcement – it’s about pushing a cruel, inhumane agenda that doesn’t make anyone safer. The data says it all.

Another Friday night at @democracyforward.org

“You get all the liars in the same room, and you start hearing different stories.” -@skyeperryman.bsky.social reacts to President Trump, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s obvious attempt to cover up the admin's accelerating attacks on our elections.

Every single one of us has a part to play in the fight for democracy — and we’re just getting started.

Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS raises conflict of interest concerns Legal experts say President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax information raises a host of conflict of interest questions.

President Trump has made $4 billion since his second inauguration. And now, he's suing the Treasury Department and IRS for $10 billion more in "damages."

So we're filing a brief urging the court to reject President Trump’s scheme and protect taxpayers.

Here's how we're fighting for Minnesota in court.

"It's not about election security. It's not about integrity. It's about undermining what the people want."

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joins @ms.now's The Weeknight to discuss the Trump-Vance admin's ongoing assault on U.S. elections, including the raid in Georgia.

We said we’d see them in court, and we meant it.

Today, we filed to block the Trump-Vance admin’s sweeping suspension of immigrant visa processing for people from 75 countries – on behalf of immigrant families, workers, and legal assistance groups.

BREAKING: We won another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful policy restricting members of Congress – in Minnesota and across the country – from investigating conditions in ICE detention centers.

Oversight is necessary to hold ICE accountable as reports of abuse and violence grow.

The Trump-Vance administration is still attempting to distract people from its lack of transparency around the Epstein Files.

As CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social said on BBC News, we will keep fighting in court to get the full truth that people across the world deserve.

If you want to know what hope looks like, look to Black history.

It’s resilience in the face of cruel injustice, communities organizing against oppression, and people using the law as a tool for change.

This Black History Month, we honor that legacy and recommit to the work ahead.

Breaking: The DOJ Ramps Up its Terror Campaign to Distract from ICE Murders and to Pave the Way for Permanent Rule The arrest of Don Lemon & three Black journalists, the raid on Fulton County, Georgia, the Epstein-Trump cover-up, and the terror escalation in Minnesota are all connected to Trump's fascist end game.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @wajali.bsky.social today to talk about the arrest of Don Lemon and 3 other Black journalists, ICE’s illegal actions, and the fight for democracy amid increasing unlawfulness.

The courts and American people will hold the Trump-Vance admin accountable.

Trump's Arresting Journalists — Here's What You Need to Know | Skye Perryman Joins Maya May LIVE Trump and his Department of Justice are tearing up the the Constitution.

Arrests of journalists covering federal agents in Minneapolis won't stop the truth of the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful actions from coming to light.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @lincolnsquare.media @mayaonstage.bsky.social to explain how these arrests reveal the admin is losing control.

This year's Together for Democracy conference is in full swing!

At a moment where our democracy is being tested, TFD brings partners, organizers, policymakers, and artists from all 50 states together in defense of democracy.

Come along for a day at Together For Democracy 2026!

The people in America are stronger together. Every individual showing up to demand accountability from the Trump-Vance admin is helping hold the line against this accelerating authoritarian playbook. Join us @democracyforward.org.

Thank you @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social for having me on to discuss the latest in our case to restore congressional oversight over detention facilities — especially in light of alarming allegations about conditions at the Whipple Detention Center in Minnesota.

In the streets and in the courts, people in America are pushing back against the Trump-Vance administration.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @katiephang.bsky.social to talk about protecting the rule of law and fighting back against authoritarian actions in Minnesota and beyond.

Fighting in the courts has been an effective way to curb Trump's lawlessness & @democracyforward.org has been a key leader in that battle.

Skye Perryman joins me to talk about Bondi’s attempts to extort Minnesota & how DOGE accessed Americans' personal data of at the SSA.

ICE's presence in Minnesota is not about immigration enforcement. It's an autocratic power grab that threatens voting. As @skyeperryman.bsky.social said on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social, it's important to connect the dots.
