New Jersey Dem Cast lead. Andy Kim won. The work to change our state & our party has only begun. Democracy is worth fighting for everywhere, every time.

I’m not done.

I still believe in us.

I still believe in the promise & potential of this country.

I know democracy is always worth the work, the headache & the heartache.

I’m ready for the next round.

I will RESIST!

Who’s with me?

Angela Davis does not believe in selective freedom. Justice is not a privilege. It is a principle.

American scholar and activist whose writing and organizing reshaped feminist, racial justice, and liberation movements.

Black History. Always. 🖤

The SAVE Act is voter suppression with a fresh coat of paint.

Change your name, survive abuse, lose paperwork & suddenly you’re told to prove you deserve a damn vote.

Women deserve better than bureaucratic bullshit!

With ICE set to spend $38.3 billion of taxpayer funds on US detention centers in 2026, Adolf Hitler explains why immigrants are still the favorite whipping post of the man JD Vance called "America's Hitler":

"The more economic difficulties increase, the more immigration will be seen as a burden."

It sounds like China is done playing nicely with the withered, old, fermented tyrannical tangerine who holds power in only America.

If you think that China can't or won't show up on our collective door steps then you've not been paying attention.

Might want to wake up!

In a shocking twist that everyone saw coming, per Newsweek, ICE jailed people illegally 4,400 times, hundreds of judges rule.

It's time to declare ICE a domestic terrorist organization.

President Obama: "When I was POTUS, I could have ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

No religion, government or person is perfect.

Which is why the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which GUARANTEES the right to practice ANY--or NO religion--is a watershed in world history.

If slavery was America's original sin, separation of church and state is its salvation.

Raw Story: Pam Bondi has faced a “MAGA media backlash” after deflecting from a question about Jeffrey Epstein by pivoting to the strong performance of the economy, a backlash so fierce that one political expert suspects she might get the boot from Trump.

Newly released Epstein documents prompt scrutiny of his associates & pressure grows on the British Royal Family,as the fallout may extend beyond former Prince Andrew.
And...unlike in the US, nothing will be covered up. Bondi cannot stop the guilty from being exposed.

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.

The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

Call (202) 224-3121 & tell your Senator to #StopTheSaveAct

Trump created something they call:

"BABY JAIL"

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!

And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

BABY JAIL!

So here's the deal - you're upset that Hobbs didn't back Mayes. I get it, but Katie Hobbs is in this position because WE did not give her a Democrat legislature

Yes. It is our fault

She's throwing up roadblocks where she can

The #EpsteinFiles are evidence in a criminal case against adult pedophiles, rapists, & those complicit with them, in the sexual abuse of children. Be disgusted. Get mad. Follow the law. Prosecute these vile perpetrators of child abuse.

Hollman may have lost his bellicose bluster, but he's a liar. MN has always notified ICE when a convicted, undocumented person is released.

He ends saying "we are going to keep doing what we are doing."

We'd be better off if Republicans put as much effort into combating gun violence as they've put into justifying murdering US citizens.
