Jillian Michaels uses this 2% number to minimize race based slavery in the US, but the reality is that the majority of the white population lived in states where slavery was illegal. In the southern states, 1/3 of households enslaved people. US slavery was a system of white supremacy, full stop.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Honestly I cannot tell you how nice it has been to have Walz just reaffirm what so many of us have been saying. “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re over reacting” at least one official in the party understands and can articulate the reality of the threat we face.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies said they’d make government more efficient. Instead, they broke it — creating a bureaucratic mess & bulldozing services Americans rely on.

This was never about efficiency. It was about rigging government for billionaires at everyone else’s expense.
DOGE vowed to make government more ‘efficient’ — but it’s doing the opposite
New procedures and requirements — some implemented in the name of improving operations — are slowing down federal agencies.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

They’re not calling it an Obamacare repeal, but don’t be fooled: the Republican tax bill slashes Medicaid and eats away at the ACA — kicking millions off their health care — all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

It’s the Great Betrayal and we’re fighting 24/7 to stop it.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit.

We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

It's been 4 days since we wrote to Secretary Hegseth demanding accountability over rising civilian deaths from U.S. military strikes in Yemen. Today another U.S. strike reportedly killed at least 68 civilians.

This gross disregard for civilian harm is unacceptable and doesn’t make us any safer.
Getting rid of safeguards designed to limit civilian harm from U.S. military operations & ensure compliance with international humanitarian law undermines our credibility, jeopardizes our missions & raises the risk of natl security threats.
Senators challenge Hegseth on civilian deaths in Yemen strikes
Democrats have demanded that the Trump administration account for rising loss of life from its intensified campaign against Iran-backed militants.

In 100 days Donald Trump has FAILED and BETRAYED our country. He’s tearing up our Constitution, tearing down our economy and tearing apart our government — all to rig everything to serve the interests of his billionaire pals.

We WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING for one second.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
