We condemn President Trump’s racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, which reflects a long and shameful history in this country of using racism to silence, demean, and divide.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.
every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that when you ban abortion and try to criminalize OBGYNs for practicing medicine, there will be fewer OBGYNs in your state.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
