Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

While we await details on this case, New Dems are deeply disturbed at the chilling implications of the President's attempt to weaponize the legal system and intimidate judges who defy his agenda. This reeks of authoritarianism. This is un-American. And this is dangerous. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

The Trump administration's war on higher education has already been very high-stakes, but this is a genuine escalation even from what we've already seen: trying to force accreditors to impose ideological quotas on faculty. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

In 1939, when Sec. of Labor Frances Perkins pushed back on pressure to ideologically deport Australian-born labor leader Harry Bridges, she faced impeachment by Congress.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that everyone is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Favorite moment of jury selection: nice lady went to a Bernie Sanders rally over the weekend in the middle of voir dire and reached out to the judge and said she was all het up and might not be able to be neutral any more. Excused for cause.
