The 2025 election proved what’s possible when we turn out to vote. Stay engaged, talk to your friends and neighbors about things that impact their lives, and we will build a coalition of pissed but decent people who will boot these MF-ers out in 2026!

1/ Trump will continue to do whatever he wants as long as Republicans in Congress allow it.

R’s will let Trump do whatever he wants as long as they fear for their safety from his cult.

The only way to break that cycle is to break through to the cult so they know who is actually hurting them…

We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

Instead of fixing the tech, they policed recipients and fed the fraud myth.

The real fraud problem is criminals skimming benefits from outdated magnetic-stripe cards that USDA refused to fix. In most states, they have stopped reimbursing stolen funds.

Agriculture’s failure to force SNAP card upgrades is causing $555M in lost benefits, watchdog says
The Trump administration’s imperative to combat fraud has largely focused on recipients scamming the system, rather than becoming victims of fraudsters themselves.

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper.

The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers.

USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.

I am NOT a gun owner. I believe the United States would be much safer if we banned firearms completely

But Alex Pretti was within his rights-as a licensed gun owner-to carry this weapon

He doesn’t appear to have broken ANY law

Kash Patel is lying or incompetent. Either way, he must be removed
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

If they aren’t being killed by ICE, Americans are being decimated by the Trump economy

“Forty hours a week makes me $2000 a month and my rent is $1,660. So I work 40 hours a week so I can have a two-bedroom apartment and an extra $300 a month. Like, that doesn’t even cover my phone, internet, food”

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Blowing up so-called "narco-boats" off Venezuela wasn't about drugs

And ICE/CBP violence in MN isn't about immigration...

It's about rigging the mid-term elections! Here are the receipts:

Bondi will pull ICE/CBP out of MN if Gov Walz gives The Regime access to MN's voter files!

EXTORTION!!!

The Trump admin’s DOJ just cut and delayed funding and training critical to combating child sex trafficking and exploitation.

Changes include canceling the 2025 national training conference for investigators of online child SA, delaying grants for Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces

We need a nationwide protest.

Leaders should be asking everyone to go peacefully protest...to go to city halls across America with candles & flowers & read the Bill of Rights, read the words of Martin Luther King Jr & poetry about freedom & "The New Colossus," by Emma Lazarus(Statue of Liberty).

They don’t want the videos because they reveal the truth. The footage isn’t the problem, the lies are.

When DHS talks, the story collapses. When people film, truth holds.

We bear witness because power lies best in the dark. If they won’t tell the truth, we must.
