“We have the federal government weaponizing itself against its own people— freedom of speech isn't supposed to be optional, but it seems that freedom of speech isn't so free anymore.”

Pay attention, America!

It's on us to organize and vote them out!

#HispanicHeritageMonth

As a Hispanic woman and First Vice Chair of the
@hispanicdems.dhcfl.org, I'm saddened by this administration’s ongoing lack of humanity.

I want to remind my community that we will overcome, and presidents like Joe Biden will once again respect our people and contributions.

#Trumpflation is hitting America and Florida like a boulder.

Hard-working families are struggling to pay for groceries and now have to turn to food pantries for help.

Trump promised lower prices on “day one,” and he failed to deliver.

Grocery bills don't lie, but he does.

Trump delivered his family Bible to be displayed at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

It would be extraordinary to see him read it and practice what it says instead of terrorizing and separating families while using the Bible to score political points.

We stand with the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's vile crimes.

We commend republicans who seem to have found their spine and are supporting the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

We join the victims in demanding that the Trump administration release the unreacted files.

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce.

If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion).

Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America.

Is weakening America worth owning the libs?

We think it’s important to highlight the many good hardworking people who are doing everything right and still being taken by ICE. Abused in facilities. This is a racist abhorrent policy. History won’t be kind to America. #OnYourSide

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS!

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.

He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Shocking (not really), another Republican trying to scam the system.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Senate hopeful, claimed 3 homes as his primary residence

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million home in a Dallas suburb. In 2015, they snapped up a second house in Austin.

We are appalled by the lack of humanity of the current administration and DeSantis towards our immigrant communities.

We call for the barbaric treatment of the Evergaldes detainees to cease, and we hope to see investigations into these abusive practices once responsible leadership is in power.

We thank Governor Newsom
@governor.ca.gov for supporting our immigrant communities and honoring those who work tirelessly on American farms nationwide.

We wish Florida’s Governor would recognize the contributions of the immigrant workforce in our state instead of terrorizing them.

Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities.

On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.

Happy Women’s Equality Day! Since 1920, women’s suffrage has fueled progress.

Florida Democrats continue to defend women’s rights across every part of life, and stand strong against Republican attempts to dismantle our freedoms.

The lack of thinking by the Drupf regime is mind boggling. Paint the wall black to prevent people from climbing it because it will be so hot, they said. Well first - have they not heard of gloves? But even better, they painted the US side only. So they want to prevent us from fleeing?? WTH!

We couldn't be more excited to hear about Mr. Abrego García's release.

We will continue to fight for justice, our constitutional rights, and the rule of law at every turn.

We thank all who stand with us during these challenging times and trust justice will prevail, as it did today.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from detention and is on his way to his family in Maryland.

This is a huge win for justice and the rule of law and a reminder to the Trump administration that his lawlessness will not go unchecked.

What a joyful day for the Hispanic community!
