This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Politically motivated prosecutions violate our Constitution. Looking at the indictment, it is hard to see anything but the weaponizing of the DOJ against a Democratic candidate and peaceful protestors. @katmabu.bsky.social

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Kat Abughazaleh is running for congress in Illinois. A headline says she’s in the lead, so, of course, she was indicted within 7 hours later. 😑

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.

Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

Kat is fighting for all of us. We need to fight for her.

For nearly two years, the world has watched a genocide unfold against the Palestinian people—on top of 77 years of apartheid, abuse, and ethnic cleansing.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Georgia for Ruwa Romman! @ruwaromman.bsky.social
Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

🚨 500 Mainers packed the room in rural Ellsworth, Maine for @grahamformaine.bsky.social’s first town hall!

This is more than a campaign to win—it’s a movement “to build real organization, real community, and real power.”

Ellsworth showed us: people are ready.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

ICE is acting as Trump’s secret police to torment and destroy our communities. But we aren’t helpless. Join me and hundreds of committed activists at ICE’s main Chicago-area facility Friday morning at 7 am.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US.

Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.

A child’s heart should never have to grow up in the shadow of such devastation. Moms and Dads should not have to feed their children grass or wonder if they’ll live another day…or if their children will live another day.
