The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Just had an idea! What if we didn’t spend a trillion dollars on the military but instead funded healthcare, housing, and education? Let’s do it!

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

When Republicans talk about the "Liberal Agenda" and "woke", they are really just attacking the simple idea that ALL human beings deserve to have rights. This is video is a perfect example of why they hate PBS. RIP Jessie Jackson! My mom campaigned for him back in the day!
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.
I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Christian Nationalists and Republicans be like "Instead of feeding and housing the homeless, let's put all our time and energy into making sure they can't vote!"
Right-wing influencers like Johnson were primarily taking aim at homeless and transitional housing — and exaggerating their “findings.” It’s a strategy state election officials have long been aware of. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rig...
Right-wing influencers are going viral claiming voter fraud. The problem? They’re wrong
“A lot of this is about homeless people, or people who are in sort of dire situations financially, living in buildings that are condemned… and moving, and therefore the building no longer exists. But ...

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

The pathetic censorship of James Talarico’s interview by CBS and the Trump regime had the predictable effect, instead of burying the subject, they lit it up like fireworks. Every attempt to gag ends up as a free show, and the Republican Party once again reaps the ridicule it sows.

Gotta love that Streisand Effect.
If the FCC hadn't leaned on CBS and CBS on Colbert, they would have aired a completely inoffensive and uninteresting interview with a Texas candidate to little effect.
Now it has international attention.

They're scared to death of losing Texas. BRAVO, Stephen Colbert for calling out their bullshit.
