Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

The minority party does have power. And dems are not doing everything they could be doing.
This is a scholar and professor or resistance history, an author, and a previous staffer of the house and senate. Hes an expert in this area.

Democrats say they can’t do anything because Republicans control Congress. Is that true?

ICE should be deporting gang members, not small business owners.

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
