The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

They’re going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen aren’t they
Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

So basically, only Christians people will be allowed to work for the government? If you have a Bible thumping co-worker shoving Republican Jesus down your throat everyday, and tell them to back off, you’re fired? MAGA Christians will weaponize this on their LGBTQ co-workers and whoever they hate…
The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’
“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

DOGE is firing Social Security workers, closing offices, and pulling the plug on phone services, and it's hurting seniors like Ned.
There’s nothing efficient about any of this — and it needs to stop.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.
This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social is the winner of our Courage Caucus Award of the Week. The youngest member of the House brilliantly messaged against the GOP anti-trans kids bill and helped unify the Democratic caucus against it. If you’re a constituent, call his office to say thanks: (202) 225–2176.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.
At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.
