is there any reason at all that the Democratic party should not immediately demand Hegseth's resignation?

History shows a legislative strategy alone is not sufficient to defeat fascists and dictators. You need organized civil society fighting back along with persistent legislative defense of democratic institutions and programs.

A cashier is someone who goes to work to pay bills. A mechanic is someone who goes to work to pay bills. A nurse is someone who goes to work to pay bills. All are working class. The working class must stick together in the fight for living wages.

Here’s hope “research from Harvard University on historical movements shows that "no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it during a peak event."9,10 It's called the "3.5% rule." It's a relatively tiny percentage. We can get there.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

What does it say about a regime that wants a population that is less educated, less informed, less free to say what they think, more riven by fear and insecurity? It tells me it’s a regime that cannot count on the peoples’ trust and will not last.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
