73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:
We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Abolishing the Dept. of Education would be devastating to our nation's students — and our teachers.
MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years.
They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.

At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."
