Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

These are only the cases we’re seeing. Imagine the cases that are swept under the rug and don’t see the light of day. ICE and DHS are torturing and neglecting Americans every single day. Do not forget Randall Gamboa’s name.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

Trump claims he is "a dealmaker." Well, Mr. President: Let’s make a deal today.

Stop the doubling of health care premiums for 20 million Americans. Stop 15 million from losing their health care. Immediately reopen the government.

What are you waiting for?

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

There is light at the end of this tunnel.

Keep fighting.
Keep organizing.
Keep voting.
Keep protesting.
Keep boycotting.
Keep informing.
Keep resisting.
Keep hoping.

We will not only get through this—we will end fascist and oligarchic rule, and build a democratic future that works for all of us.
