We must stand with the people of Iran, who have courageously taken to the streets to demand dignity, democracy, and self-determination. They want an end to the Islamic Republic and its authoritarian regime.
The Iranian people deserve peace and freedom.

Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Defense Secretary we've ever had and his open contempt for women in the military is a slap in the face to those who have put their lives on the line to keep us safe.
Pentagon will begin review of 'effectiveness' of women in ground combat positions
The review, outlined in a Pentagon memo obtained by NPR, comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told admirals and generals in September that women must meet the "highest male standard."

In a week where we watched JD Vance and his cronies threaten the media and protestors for telling the truth, The Washington Post decided that Jack Smith was the real threat to the First Amendment. This is insanely dumb -- even for WaPo.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules.
They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

The lack of empathy, gaslighting, & lies coming from this Administration is shameful and dangerous. A woman has died. People are scared. Over 30 people have died in detention. They are inciting violence and endangering our communities. It must stop. Which is why I’m joining the effort to impeach.

Vance and MAGA decided to push all their chips into the middle of the table and put a big bet down on the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, thinking that the public was going to side with him that Renee Good put his life in danger and he merely acted in self-defense. Dumb move.
