We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Trump fails to understand that “gifts” like this are not “free of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

The definition of failing upward, like everyone else in the admin. Also, there isn’t a single non-cultist who buys this BS. The lameness of it demonstrates how dumb they think their own base is.
