As we again face a rising threat of fascism, may we use this International Holocaust Remembrance Day to solemnly rededicate ourselves to fighting for a world free of the dehumanization and hate that fueled the murder of 6 million Jews, and the millions of others.

They’re throwing their own people under the bus because they’re feeling the pressure of our outrage.
We can’t let up now. Keep pushing.
And in the meantime, good riddance to this dangerous lunatic. We’ll see you in court when you’re prosecuted for your crimes.

This isn’t complicated. My opponents should be able to say clearly and directly where they stand when it comes to funding ICE and impeaching Kristi Noem.
The fact that they haven’t says it all.

Our government has violently turned on its own populace.
The House, including 7 Democrats, just voted to keep funding these masked federal agents who are killing people in the street.
The emergency is not theoretical—it’s here. We need Dems in Congress with actual principles.

Today's murder in Minneapolis is just the latest example of the federal government perpetuating violence against civilians and terrorizing families. It's heartbreaking, infuriating, and maddening. But we can and will stand up to this terror, and we will take back our country.

The “President of Peace” and his enablers are dragging us into an illegal regime change war under false pretenses. If you’re wondering who’s paying for it, the answer is YOU.

We don’t need a congressman negotiating their vote away for a pardon from Trump.
Jesse Jackson Jr. is running again for Congress. He was convicted of stealing $750,000 in campaign $$ for personal use, buying gold-plated Rolexes & Michael Jackson's hat.
He says he's a new man, but Facebook posts show him justifying his actions & hinting at a pardon.

He says he's a new man, but Facebook posts show him justifying his actions & hinting at a pardon.
prospect.org/2025/12/11/c...
![But his Facebook posts since he was convicted reveal a man who consistently downplays and justifies his crimes, showing a lack of remorse and reflection.
In 2018, Jackson weighed in on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) struggles to afford an apartment in D.C., writing on Facebook: “This is what happens. Then when you have kids and they need to attend decent schools in DC and you want to have a life while serving, guess what? You start calling everything you do a campaign expense.”
Jackson went on to justify his spending of campaign contributions: “A life long vow of poverty, I did not take for me or my family. [W]hen you truly represent people you have a lot of personal standards that you have to maintain and they are expensive.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreibb4owe7okfupami52pabja4zaoco2sejwf3n37w27qsdzjhpqfra@jpeg)
