Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

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

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.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Yep.

I’m grateful to Jill for highlighting this. It is the core of the article. And understanding and fixing this is core to our country’s survival.

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Mark Kelly reintroduced their Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. Repost if you agree it's time to BAN stock trading by members of Congress.

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Rep. Al Green making a great point about impeachment, invoking a quote attributed to Gandhi: First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win. Things may look impossible. But if we remain relentless, we will ensure that the rule of law will prevail. Have courage.

If New York voters actually reward this guy for all this corruption and death, it would be the biggest self-own in the history of that city. Full stop.

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

yes. this.
