Democrats helped clear Trump’s path back to power by abandoning their base. When the Party abandoned the working class, the working class abandoned the Party.

💙SUPPORT THIS BILL -- Email your representative and senators to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act. rootsaction.org/pass-ellsber...

The Democrats keep failing at being an opposition party. www.commondreams.org/news/schumer... In an appearance on “Meet the Press"... Jeffries declined to say whether he would oppose Trump's expected push for $50 billion in new funding for the unauthorized war on Iran. It's "de facto support.”

Last week Bernie Sanders & Rep. Ro Khanna introduced the Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act to establish a 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires. This could transform the lives of millions. Tell your reps to co-sponsor w/ a quick letter! rootsaction.org/make-billion... @rootsaction.org

Democratic leaders worked to a delay vote on Iran until after the war started Schumer and Jeffries cannot be trusted to prevent wars, more threats of wars, or the transfer of another half trillion dollars a year into the war machine Tell your Dem Reps: REPLACE them! rootsaction.org/schumer-jeff...

LAST CHANCE FOR IRAN WAR POWERS RESOLUTION We need to make it clear that war with Iran is abhorrent Call YOUR rep: (202) 224-3121 👇️ And use this form to contact your representatives and let them know that they must do EVERYTHING they can to oppose a war on Iran. rootsaction.org/no-war-with-...

Last night, the U.S. tested an unarmed Minuteman III ICBM. ICBMs are an immediate threat to public safety. Once launched, ICBMs cannot be recalled, almost guaranteeing a retaliatory strike. The risk of nuclear escalation is too high for the added risk that a test is misinterpreted as nuclear use.

. @rootsaction.org has a thing to sign.

The United States and Israel have launched a completely unprovoked, illegal, immoral and barbaric war on Iran. Your representative and senators need to hear from you now! TAKE ACTION: rootsaction.org/no-war-on-iran

The pressure is building on the DNC to release their 2024 election autopsy. #ReleaseTheReport We did our own research and published our own report. We know why Harris lost: They courted right wingers, avoided bold populist proposals, & wouldn't break from Biden on Gaza. bit.ly/autopsy2024

Now is the critical moment to stop war with Iran. secure.everyaction.com/sc7yT-wv2Ein... RSVP for the Action Hour tonight!

While the DNC suppresses its autopsy and what it knows about how Kamala Harris’s support for genocide in Gaza pushed voters away, RootsAction has published an honest appraisal of the Democrats’ missteps: democraticautopsy.org

RootsAction Mourns the Loss of a Giant. Jesse Jackson was a lifelong leader in the effort to transform the Democratic Party into a vehicle for peace and justice, a struggle he waged at the 1972 Democratic convention where he was a force behind Sen. George McGovern’s antiwar candidacy.

Rest in power, Rev. Jesse Jackson. He reminded us to "keep hope alive" and never stop organizing for a more just world. youtu.be/5dfVO0cM2bo

Did you know Gavin Newsom is even worse than you thought? www.salon.com/2026/02/10/g... Trolling Trump does not make up for his undermining of progressive priorities, like when he vowed to kill a one-time 5% tax on billionaires... Despite 86% of Democrats agreeing the wealthy should pay more.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

"The fight to defeat the fascistic GOP and the fight to overcome the power of corporate Democrats are largely the same fight." 100% agree.

This campaign is proud to champion @rootsaction.org Foreign Policy Primer. Please visit the full document in my link listed in my bio.

"While the fallout from this particular incident is still playing out, one thing has become abundantly clear: any legitimate contender for the Democratic nomination for president in 2028 must commit to permanently dismantling Immigration and Customs Enforcement." progressivehub.net/all-democrat...

President Trump said you didn't need to prevent a war on Venezuela because there wouldn't be one. Now he's bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its president. JOIN US in telling Congress to finally take a stand: rootsaction.org/take-stand-c...

A new report from the grassroots organization RootsAction aims to do what a promised "autopsy" from the Democratic National Committee ultimately did not: publicly reckon with the failures of the Democrats' 2024 presidential campaign.

Why is the Democratic party hiding its 2024 autopsy report? “It’s about protecting people who fucked up,” a DNC member told @normansolomon.bsky.social in @theguardian.com:

The @democrats.org choosing not to release their 2024 autopsy is a move designed to protect the failed party leadership and the corporate donors who are responsible for the embarrassing defeat. We saw this coming. So we made our own autopsy. Read it here: democraticautopsy.org

It's a good thing a group like @rootsaction.org exists to fill in the gaps. Do they really think that hiding the report is positive? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Talking with David Swanson on Talk World Radio about key points addressed in "The Blue Road to Trump Hell" - @rootsaction.org @pdamerica.bsky.social @democrats

@kenmartin.bsky.social Hope you will read our major new @rootsaction.org Autopsy report on How the Democrats Lost the White House--https://democraticautopsy.org/how-democrats-lost-the-white-house/#a-path-forward @thedemcoalition.bsky.social @democrats.org

The U.S. public is tired of war, disgusted by the genocide, and sick of continued military adventurism. We've been flooding Congressional offices with emails. Now, we're circling the White House and Congress with mobile billboards.

Labeling people terrorists so our military can murder them is quintessentially American. NSPM-7 is designed to stifle free speech and arrest (or murder, apparently) anyone who disagrees with the U.S.'s disastrous foreign policy. NSPM-7 must be stopped.

NEW article in @theguardian.com re: RootsActions' report entitled 'Autopsy: How Democrats Lost the White House' "RootsAction report finds Harris courted moderates instead of working-class Democrats, & Gaza stance did not help" More to come! @rokhanna.bsky.social @ninaturner.bsky.social Read here:

"Her campaign made a critical strategic error by prioritising an appeal to moderate, suburban Republicans over mobilising its core working-class and progressive base, leading to significant erosion of support among these vital constituencies" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"It’s all well and good to laud Mamdani’s extraordinary political talents and inspiring leadership for social justice. At the same time, we should recognize that he has entered into an embrace with a viperous president." -- @normansolomon.bsky.social progressivehub.net/the-trump-ma...

RootsAction's Emma Claire Foley responds to an article in the establishment security journal Foreign Affairs, which calls for nuclear proliferation among U.S. allies. Its arguments are unsound and understate the willingness of the U.S.’s rivals to respond in kind. ☢️ jacobin.com/2025/11/nucl...

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

Don't forget about LA. The feds never left (& won't be leaving until at least 2028). The people will continue to fight. * data below as of November 1 from @lapublicpress.bsky.social

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it. The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

"We should not let nuclear testing once again become part of nuclear-armed countries’ business as usual. A nuclear explosion is a nuclear explosion, and the fallout will be all of ours to deal with." @emmaclairefoley.bsky.social www.commondreams.org/opinion/nucl...?

The U.S. government sent an appalling $31 billion of taxpayer dollars to Israel to support their genocide in Gaza. We’re exploring how it could be spent in the United States instead of war. Comment to share your ideas of how to spend billions of taxpayer dollars at home.

$31 billion to murder civilians on the other side of the globe, while working people at home struggle to pay bills. Time to write your Senator and Reps and let them know you're sick of it. NO MORE WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. rootsaction.org/no-more-weap...

Starbucks workers are planning to strike, beginning tomorrow, at locations that are unionized. They need our support to gain a fair contract & a living wage. DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE If you go to non-unionized locations, give your name, to be shouted when your order is ready, as "Unionize Now"

We agree! Sign the petition now urging ineffective @schumer.senate.gov to resign as minority leader in the senate! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te... ✍️📃

In the end, Deciding to Win reads less like analysis and more like self-justification for a faction of donors and consultants eager to blame the left for their own failures, says Sam Rosenthal of @rootsaction.org.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory belongs to everyone working for human rights and social justice. Despite the efforts by billionaires and supporters of Israel’s genocidal policies, this grassroots campaign has won. (1/2)
