Democratic voters have a decision to make in every primary, both in the midterms and in 2028.

Folks need to “purity test” candidates. Period.

Look at what policies candidates stand for and look at their donors.

This moment is not for politicians without a spine.

The past few days have been heavy for many Americans.

I sat down and wrote about it.

This Is America, Now What? Part I: A Letter to White Americans
Over the past few days, like most Americans, I watched as federal agents have killed an American citizen on camera.

This is a very handy article.
Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

That feeling of watching the state of the world and thinking “we still have to go to work and act like everything is normal?”

Hold that feeling, it’s step one of the general strike.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Dear RFK Jr.,

You can have measles elimination status in the U.S. or you can continue to undermine vaccines and public health.

Choose one. We see you.

In the budget discussions, Dems should refuse to fund ICE unless agents can’t wear masks, they must identify themselves and must read people their Miranda rights. Even with these conditions, ICE funding should be limited to border operations.

Stop further shootings.

Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

I hate a "neutral " mo'fucka! You can't be neutral in capitalist and white supremacist systems without automatically siding with the oppressors. There is no "neutrality" in capitalism. The system is literally designed so that the capitalist ruling classes can exploit and oppress the working class.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. She wasn’t just killed, she was murdered.

The right was already trying to vilify her before we even knew her name. But I’m just going to say it…

They’re going to have a much harder time doing that this time.

She’s not Brown.
She’s not Black.
She’s white.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

It went from “America First” to “we’re going to run Venezuela” in less than a year.

And Americans still don’t have affordable housing, healthcare, or groceries.
