NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior.
Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Love seeing the optimism coming out of NYC today as Zohran Mamdani completes his first official day as Mayor. It is more clear than ever before that people want a leader who isn't afraid to dream big and work hard for the People. Not every goal will be met, but there is meaning in every effort.

Trump is so predictable. His Christmas posts were filled with hate and hostility. Almost word for word of the ones he posts every day. Americans know this is not normal or presidential. He has no filter or self control. Maga says he is being authentic, no, he just thinks he is invincible

I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Trump has already declared the drug cartels terrorist organizations and ordered military strikes against suspected drug boats. Now he's declaring fentanyl a WMD. Experts on street drugs and fentanyl are skeptical these moves will reduce the supply of fentanyl on America's streets or reduce overdose deaths.
