I'm not a baseball fan at all but at this point, I will fully throw my bandwagon support behind the Blue Jays to win the World Series just so that a Canadian team can win America's Game.

We need to rebuild the Democratic Party for the working class.
We've been left behind and lied to by politicians from both parties. We need candidates who are going to fight for higher wages, stronger unions, and to get rid of big money in politics.

What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results.
Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that more than 60,000 votes cast in last year’s tightly contested state Supreme Court race must now be verified and recounted. This comes after two recounts already confirmed the original outcome.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
