Democrats need to do more than post on social media and curse in press conferences about ICE terrorizing communities. Stop funding President Trump’s personal agents. Arrest ICE agents that are breaking laws. The moderate wing of the Democratic Party is failing the people.

Trump is using ICE to terrorize our cities. He is using DOJ to target his political opponents. He will eventually try to steal the 2026 election. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and unbowed. Become a member now to help support its work and to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

It's "America First" until Netanyahu asks for money and bombs. It's "America First" until Americans demand universal healthcare. It's "America First" until Americans demand tuition-free college. It's "America First" until an American citizen is shot in the face by ICE.

Rep. Khanna brings the fire.

Screenshot of a post on X by Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) saying Jerome Powell isn’t lowering interest rates because of Trump’s “irrational tariff policy,” and that Trump’s actions threaten the country’s economic fabric and prosperity. Below the text is a video thumbnail showing Ro Khanna speaking indoors in a suit, with a U.S. flag to his left, bookshelves behind him, and a floor lamp to his right. The video shows a 0:55 timestamp and a speaker icon.

Watching from a different country, it's always been a bit of an eye roll when all the gun freaks in the US kept saying we need them to protect against a bad government and it's been made clear with all this shit is what a lot of us knew...it was really about "protecting against brown people" racism.

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control. Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

This photo was taken just as the ICE agent killed a 37-year old American citizen and mother who had just dropped off her 6-year old daughter at school. The officer is not in danger and was not injured. There is no riot. (Trump lies.) He is standing at the open window and killing the woman.
