News outlets are increasingly referring to J6 as an insurrection, I've noticed. "Trump’s current rating is close to his lowest rating during his term, at 29 percent, following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection in the final days of his term. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

If you’re able, please support my friend Aaron. Where would we be without his clips? Independent media is critical, and he works tirelessly to prevent misinformation and gaslighting by giving us the video and audio evidence

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote. This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there? What were their orders?

15 months later, Republicans have pulled ads from the NC Senate race and all but conceded it to Democrat Roy Cooper after the strategic genius Trump drove Tillis into leaving the senate.

This is what ICE is. Firing repeatedly into a car with a baby inside. Whether it was negligence or deliberate, it is absolutely unjustifiable. This is literally the sort of thing that happened in Moscow during the 'Wild East' days of utter lawlessness. This is also Trump's America today.

voting is only a small part of participating in a democracy. and in a 2 party system witholding your vote is a valid exercise in democracy. stop with the false equivalence.

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

i have worked with my county commissioners to pass anti-ICE legislation. that commissioner was assaulted by ICE. People have been shot in the town a few towns over from me. I protested at the courthouse in support of Kilmar, a fellow Maryland resident. yes, my community IS under assault too.
