I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Don’t fall for it. Immigrants are our neighbors, our friends, and involved community members— and we are lucky to have people from around the world make Louisville their home.

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Countless LGBTQ+ Americans have served—in every branch, at every rank—swearing to defend a Constitution that didn’t always defend them. Their service is undeniable. Their rights are non-negotiable. We’ve worn the same boots, taken the same oath—and we’ve got their six. Always.

Here are THREE corrupt ways Donald Trump is allowing billionaires to pay to play: 1. The Trump family's new $500k members only club 2. Trump's crypto deals 3. Trump's presidential library (that's where the luxury jet is headed) Trump's making billions while your prices go up.

🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind. This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

NPR just sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order gutting federal funding for public media. Kudos to them for standing up for the First Amendment. It reminds me of when Mr. Rogers stood up to Nixon's attempts to gut public broadcasting 56 years ago.

True patriots don’t believe the president should be a king. True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. True patriots don't want to strip Americans of our freedoms. It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything in service to this country. As we pause to reflect, let’s remember: the best way to honor the fallen is to stand up for the living—by ensuring our veterans & their families get the care, respect, & resources they need to thrive.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
