I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

If I were an American president losing a war to Iran, I wouldn't work to boost the economy of an American adversary that has been helping Iran kill Americans. Just sayin'.

This week, the CA Supreme Court affirmed my authority to supervise local sheriffs & ordered the Riverside Sheriff to return all 650,000 ballots he illegally seized to the Registrar immediately. With an election weeks away, I will keep fighting to protect your voice in our democracy & right to vote.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

Republicans are trying to tie Democrats’ hands by exploiting divisions over Israel. Democrats shouldn’t take the bait. They should unite around pursuing peace, freedom, security, and self determination for all Israelis and Palestinians. 2/2

Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

Social Security’s “insolvency” is a scam, not a crisis. Your money didn't vanish—it’s being starved by a system that lets the ultra-wealthy stop paying taxes while you pay on every dollar. Lift the cap, tax the rich, and secure our future. Demand what you earned. ✊

Immigrant detainees at Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ have been forced to cook, clean, & repair the facility for as little as $1/day and sometimes for free. They are on a hunger & labor strike; protesters outside have been tear-gassed. Here's our report, including a quote from a detainee:

People are increasingly conscious of the fact that they're one missed paycheck away from financial ruin and they're terrified of losing their jobs. All this while the rich have never been richer in human history. Living with that fear IS a lived experience.
