No, Christopher Columbus did not discover America; the land had been populated by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before his arrival in 1492. Furthermore, Norse explorer Leif Erikson is believed to have reached North America centuries earlier.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests.

A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras.

This is a VERY smart idea.

This is a really well done—I hope it catches on: A silent roadside protest staged over the weekend in Westerville, Ohio, and posted to the Facebook page of the Westerville Progressive Alliance.

Marshall, MO.

I head into rural Republican districts across the state and country and I organize the Democrats in those red spaces. I am a cheerleader for these Democrats. I remind them that they are not alone, and they are a force for change.

I will never stop.

Truly disgusting

ICE detained an autistic 5 year old girl in Leominster, Mass

Using this child-a US citizen-as bait to lure her father-who has lived in the country for 20 years-out so they could arrest him

They call DEI “discrimination” while pushing policies that eliminate inclusion. It’s nothing other than AUTHORITARIAN GASLIGHTING. They are hijacking the language of equality to wage war against equality, turning civil rights into a weapon for power.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 1d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

Absolutely insane that the President of the United States has sent militarized secret police to attack multiple American cities, all at the same time.
