"On this day in 1865, the last slaves in Galveston, Texas were finally freed."
That “finally” reminds us that justice is not self-executing. We have to work to see it fulfilled.
Now more than ever.

VoteVets' Max Rose SLAMS Joni Ernst (a Veteran herself) for brushing off Medicaid cuts with “we’re all going to die.”
1 in 10 Veterans rely on Medicaid. Some could lose care—or worse.
And still, the GOP won’t stand up to Trump. Cowardice has consequences.

Massachusetts decided to tax the rich, and collected $2.6 billion over the last 10 months.
That’s $2.6 billion more to spend on transportation and education.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.
