FDR Democratic candidates are winning because they understand there is no mystical, magic fairyland called the "center", and understand voters want bold solutions that work.

And yes, I’m asking the Democrats to do more because they’re the only ones who are even listening and the only ones who might help us here.
I’m sorry if that bums out the Team Blue cheerleaders.

He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica
A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.

I’m not buying it. They knew exactly what they were voting for. He claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs. FFS!

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.
Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.
We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.
This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬
