Not giving up our democracy to some rich felons who want to sell it off for parts. United we stand, divided we fall. Get loud and find good trouble.

There is no magic bullet to just overcome the minority position. That does not mean it is all doom and gloom.

There are plenty of fighters in the Democratic party. Unfortunately, they are not in leadership positions.

Everytime I think they might finally stand up, Dem leadership caves. We need fighters in leadership positions if we are going to get through this.

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

If the Dems got rid of Jeffries and Schumer you would see donations pour in from the base. They just refuse to listen to their constituents.

🚨Feeding the hungry and using freedom of speech after 6pm is an ARRESTABLE offense in Florida? There is a long line of people waiting for food and this man arrests a volunteer? The indefensible side of history, captured.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community.

It’s now official: Trump has pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. 1/
