Drop Site’s Julian Andreone asked Rep. Shontel Brown (OH-11) whether House Dems could take steps to enforce the Gaza peace plan and halt Israel’s daily killings despite the deal.
Her response: “I have called for a ceasefire.” She then told our correspondent to speak to Republicans and drove away...

Today, Sandra Bland would’ve turned 39.
In 2015, Sandra was stopped by police in Texas. She later died in police custody.
Sandra Bland’s death reminds us that lack of accountability and justice is not new to the U.S.
Rest in power, soror 💙💛🐩

I am extremely proud of @AnaliliaForNJ.

Billionaires think they can buy Democratic primaries.
Voters are proving them wrong. Analilia Mejia is proof.
In GA-13, I’m the only candidate who’s never taken money from corporations or their PACs and I will never take a dime from AIPAC or their billionaire friends.

If President Trump was serious about cutting down on government waste, fraud, and abuse, his administration would be targeting the Pentagon budget, not federal workers.
The Pentagon has failed 8 straight audits, yet they get more and more money.

During the Great Migration, tens of thousands of Black families moved from the Jim Crow South to Cleveland for steel, auto, and manufacturing jobs.
Neighborhoods like Central, Hough, and Glenville became cultural and political hubs, laying the foundation for modern Black Cleveland.

Trayvon Martin should be turning 31 today. He should be surrounded by friends and loved ones celebrating him.
He and his family were robbed of that because a grown man stalked him and killed him.
Without accountability.

Rosa Parks showed us there is no progress w/o struggle. We owe it to her legacy to never become cynical or complacent with the status quo.
We stand on the shoulders of the Black women who risked so much for something bigger than themselves ✊🏾
Happy heavenly 113th birthday.

Roughly 13,000 or so Haitian refugees were accepted by the U.S. and settled down in Springfield, OH.
The administration is wanting to rip that status away to send ICE into that community.
By definition, that’s ethnic cleansing.

The fight against fascism will not be won through the Democratic Party alone.
History shows us that defeating authoritarianism means building a broad coalition.
That means Democrats, Greens, WFP, DSA, etc. must work in concert.

I’m proud to endorse Dr. Butch Ware for Governor of California.
In a moment of rapidly increasing wealth and power inequality, it’s important to have people like Dr. Ware fighting for working people.

It is mission-critical that that working class Americans mentally break free from the sway of the two party system.
Not everyone within your preferred political party is right.
We must view elected officials as people we hire and evaluate them as such.

The answer to fighting this fascist agenda is not partisan gerrymandering.
Look at where Dems in Congress are on ICE—there is not a consensus on abolition. Also, partisan gerrymandering is undemocratic.
We cannot abandon our values, general strikes wield our power.

On May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood.
11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children.
As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

No, armed agents stopping people in the streets and killing civilians on camera while getting away with it is not new to America.
