I am America

I am public education

I am an informed citizenry

I am a neighbor, a volunteer, a helper

I am healthcare for all

I am open arms for the poor, the unhoused, the immigrant

I am love for all humans

I am democracy—

America.

Good for you DC. Thank you.

As the tweet says, this isn’t a cash strapped regional school that needs to focus on career oriented majors to attract dollars and students. It’s one of the premier universities in the country.

The administration is threatening to strip the citizenship of a man voters chose to serve as the Democratic Party’s nominee for Mayor of New York City because they don’t like his political views.

Just straight up fascist shit, no chaser.

Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm.

We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

If you think this moment is about one politician or one press conference, you’re missing the point.

This is about speaking up for every single American and fighting for our constitutional rights.

This is not a political story – it's a crime story.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care.

Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care.

I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen.

He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.
