This is your regular reminder that there a lot of young adults who barely remember what things were like before Trump took office. Our job is to educate them about the rights we’ve lost and help them imagine a better future.

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

Senators have a duty too Bernie. You did not deny unanimous consent even once. You could’ve changed the course of history by standing up. Why didn’t you? I really would like an answer.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

To me, this is the easiest layup for DC Democrats. Go to the IRS, chain yourselves there and raise the alarm about this so that USians understand what they are doing.

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

There is an article to be written about how the primary currency of conservatism is abuse. It’s about who you abuse to get more power, how you abuse that power once you get it, abusing people who help you keep that power, & abusing people with the power you have, then going home to abuse your family

Today is the day! 70 students competing at the state level for National History Day! These students experienced, in real time, the disappearance of source documents from once trusted government websites. Now they compete in a contest that has lost funding. They are witness to the dismantling.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

“We the People” isn’t just a poetic preamble; it’s the foundational claim of our sovereignty. The Constitution doesn’t start “We the Government” or “We the Elite.” It starts by asserting that all authority flows from the people, and that government exists by their consent —it’s a radical principle.

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

If the question is "how is this allowed?" or "how is this legal?" the answer will always be found by remembering laws aren't self executing and someone has to enforce them. Laws aren't magic, and laws by themselves prevent nothing. If a law is not enforced, it's just words on paper.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?
