When we enable imperialism under the party that is meant to stand for progressive ideals, how can we act shocked when the one that openly stands for white supremacy takes those same tools and runs with them?

Jocelynn was 11. She played French horn. Made TikToks. Told her mom she loved her every day. Then her classmates started threatening to call ICE on her family. The school knew. Did nothing. She died by suicide. This is what happens when we enable fascism’s foot soldiers.

STOP PLAYING WOKE DRESS UP: THE POLITICAL COSTUME PARTY IS OVER
The American left's silence on Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo under Democratic rule exposes the truth: You can't claim collectivism while serving individualism.
