Six months since Alex Pretti was taken, and still NO accountability. His mother’s message is clear: NEVER stop fighting for equality and peace. Protect your neighbors, speak out, and honor Alex’s memory by standing up for your community! Justice for Alex Pretti!

Senator Tina Smith has been a fighter for working people in the US Senate. I hope to build on her leadership on women's health and reproductive rights and access which has paved the way for the future I want for my daughters and every American. I'm deeply grateful for her support.

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Barack Obama: It is worth remembering just how radical the whole idea of self-government was back in 1776. To that point, human history was a world where the strong dominated the weak. In the newly independent United States there would be no kings or lords, no serfs or subjects, but only citizens.

Trump’s humiliating Iran surrender in one chart: Obama: 98% uranium cut, enrichment capped, sanctions in place, 0 American lives lost. Trump: $25 BILLION unfrozen, sanctions lifted, Hormuz tolls for Iran, 15 dead + 543 injured Americans, $2.2 TRILLION cost. Pure weakness. #TrumpSurrendered
