F.B.I. Is Asked to Arrest Texas Democrats in Battle Over House Seats

The ruling party wants to arrest members of the opposition party who are trying to stop them from rigging the mid-term elections.

This is not something which happens in a democracy. MAGA is trying to create a one party dictatorship.

Republicans have made ICE the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Reverse Robin Hood - the recently passed bill will cause people making <$36k to actually lose money (2.5% at the bottom bracket), while people earning >$120k to gain 2.4% more.

This from the man who won the election because of affordability.

Betrayal.

The whole premise of the bill is that it fuels growth. The U.S. seen 3x economic growth since 1980. Yet overall purchasing power for the average family has been essentially the same, and key things like housing and education have skyrocketed in recent years.

Who still believes the myth?

What happened to the passion to reduce the deficit?
To the fury against increasing costs of living?
To the rage against insider deals and corruption in the "swamp"?
To the righteous cries for free speech?

Just a thought: maybe it wasn't ever actually really about these things.

Re: Zohran - This is how we defeat Trumpism - present an ACTUAL plan to make things more affordable by taxing the rich and subsidizing people's basic needs.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for the exploitation of our natural resources to decrease gas prices to somehow decrease the cost of everything.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN. Impeach Trump. Sign the petition NOW to defend democracy and demand accountability! He is disqualified from office, and has violated the U.S. Constitution.

Bombing Iran is more grounds for impeachment due to bypassing Congress's war powers, and creates more urgency for the cause:

15 February 2003 anti-war protests - Wikipedia

February 15th, 2023 was the biggest single day of coordinated, worldwide protest. 6-10 million people on all continents demonstrated against the Iraq War. Can we do even more, and this time succeed in our goal? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_Febr...

Peace through "pre-emptive" violence is an nonsensical proposition. There will always be human conflict. There is no end to come to where somehow the use of force has made all conflict end. Any temporary "peace" will only last until the perpetrator needs to prove its power again.

No Kings Bennington Vermont
YouTube video by Bennington Indivisible No Kings Bennington Vermont

More than 1,000 people came out for the Bennington, VT flash mob as part of a national day of protest on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action.

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
