I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Given ICE brutality, it's unusual to get video evidence of how they operate. But here's chilling documentation that shows the indiscriminate and violent approach that ICE takes to arrests - here, including a US citizen: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture.

This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

I voted NO on House Republicans' slush funds bill—cloture, final passage, all of it—but it just passed.

To my constituents, your voice matters. Keep speaking out.

So, shoulders up. Keep the faith. We stand strong, and we do NOT stand down.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
