Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

She's playing Balatro and I need someone who isn't me to remind her flushes exist. I had to text her campaign staff to relay this message, a level of mansplaining previously believed to be impossible.

In this administration, the people take a backseat to corporations.

Nakedly and unabashedly oligarchic. Congress is a coequal branch of government and it’s time it acts like it.

Some more :)
Two protest signs: one critiques "President of Peace" crossed out for "Forever War," and the other states "No War 4 Oil" with a flame and oil drop. Two protest signs: one with a cartoonish figure and bold text "WAR MONGERING RAPIST," the second yellow sign reads "He broke the law! This isn't complicated!" Two protest signs: one lists controversial actions with "Kidnap People" and "INVADE VENEZUELA" checked, and the other reads "Impeach NOW." Volunteers hold their signs, one reading 'No war in Venezuela!'

On a moment’s notice, you answered the call.

This weekend our community showed up, got creative, and made it crystal clear where we stand. Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out!

These are just some of my favorite signs from our rapid response event:
A collage of protest signs, promoting impeachment and anti-war messages, with bold text stating “THIS IS A GOOD SIGN” on a dark background. Paragraph text says "Some of my favorite anti-war signs from our rapid response community event" A group of people is creating signs with markers, including one that reads, "No more stupid wars - DJT. Did you believe him?" Volunteers holding their signs, one reading 'Fund healthcare NOT war' Volunteer creates a protest sign highlighting lack of funding for healthcare and climate action, contrasting it with funding for war and other issues.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.

Impeachment must be on the table.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

We’ve seen this in Chicago. Now we’re seeing it across the country.

ICE is a lawless secret police force and must be abolished. This is fucking horrific.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

Silverio Villegas González. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mahmoud Khalil. Marimar Martinez. And thousands of names I cannot fit in a single post.

ICE, DHS, and CBP lied about all of them. They lied about you, Daniel, and they lied about me.

If you want to lead in 2026, it’s time to stop believing them.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911 "They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.
