Extreme gerrymandering. Nationalizing voter suppression. Weaponizing law enforcement. Occupying Democratic cities.

Trump is pulling out all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to rig the next election.

So racist and disgraceful. Colorado’s 4th Congressional District needs to vote her out in the next election.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Climate change is all to real.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

This is not about saving democracy. It is about protecting our people. On October 18, we rise. Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other. Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful.

No Thrones. #NoKings

Sometimes being an activist can feel defeating.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

What the actual fuck is Trump even talking about? He just went on Truth Social to declare the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy is “no longer a theory.” This is the same extremist garbage that inspired the Buffalo and El Paso mass shootings. He’s recycling message-board rants like their policy,

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies.

Not acceptable.

Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.
