Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Impeachment, conviction, and removal only work when Congress has a spine.

Morally indefensible and unacceptable.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

The Texas Senate primary is a battle for the Democratic Party's soul. James Talarico is a "choir boy." Jasmine Crockett is a "street fighter." Their race will set the tone for the midterms clash to come.

If you're not paying attention to the Texas Senate primary race, you should be.

Jasmine Crockett isn’t mincing words!

Families aren’t enemies!
Seeking safety isn’t a crime!

Masked raids & fear tactics aren’t β€œlaw and order”. They’re cruelty dressed as policy!

Justice isn’t terrorizing communities!

Human rights don’t stop at the border!

Outside groups are pouring millions into this race.

But we have the momentum. A grassroots movement that answers to voters, not AIPAC or corporations.

confirmation bias

i don’t know
he says to himself
about nothing in particular

and then smiles
for he knows
for once he’s right

MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show "allegations of Donald Trump RAPING children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children."
That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests. #cdnpoli

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

"I'm casting my racist vote not because I'M racist, but because those OTHER people are racist" Too many folks on Daily Kos confuse strategic voting with perpetuating racism. When it comes to discussing primaries, far too often I see comments along the line of β€œI like that candidate, but America...

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

If you are angry, stay angry. They want us to think this is normal and how life will be.

I’ll be dammed if I ever let that happen.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, β€œIt’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Calling on our Members of Congress to STOP funding

Call your Senators and Representatives or tag them

Ask them if they support ALL of this…

I’m not really sure what democrats are supposed to say to Americans after we roll over and fund ICE some more. Why would anyone trust us to fight?

Our Detroit staff has received reports from Ford workers that the President's body odor was "like bad breath mixed with feces -- I can't describe it, but I'll never forget it"

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
