But the truth is we need the support of grassroots donors to continue this work. If you share our mission to resist authoritarianism in our country and want to support our organizing, trainings, and mass mobilizations, we hope you will consider making a donation today.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Polling these last two weeks is very clear that Trump has not only lost the argument about ICE, he's also lost it on mass deportation. Country wants him to focus on the criminals and leave the rest of us alone. From new Yahoo/YouGov: www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Donald Trump has produced the lowest GDP growth of any President in the last 80 years.

Rubio's standing ovation in Munich after he declared the end of the “rules based order” shows how weak many European “leaders” have become. Instead of defending universal human rights they folded to his siren song of blood & soil. I called out Rubio's Trump-lobotomy last March:

Sometimes moving forward requires reckoning with uncomfortable realities. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

TFW you realize for the millionth time that it's all right out there in the open. "The right people voting, electing the right leaders." Because she's the best judge of that.

Federal law limits how long minors can be held in ICE custody to 20 days. New reporting by ProPublica found hundreds of children detained for a month or more. Vox's @imillhiser.bsky.social notes, "Whatever the law says, it only matters if you have good courts that are able to enforce the law."

One thing is clear—the justice system does not support victims or survivors. That’s why Members of Congress are working with Epstein survivors, not just for accountability and justice, but to create a system that believes, protects, and supports them.

3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it.

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

It’s important we all know this: "International law now bans tear gas in warfare. But the United States and other nations have successfully lobbied for an exception for domestic policing." Can’t use tear gas in warfare, but OK to use on those in your country..WHAT !!!!!!!!! 1/

Post surge, communities around America need to be prepared for all of the destructive ramifications of ice/cpb actions, including downturns for local businesses, PTSD for 1000s of residents, & the impact on local law enforcement actions & public opinion. www.startribune.com/after-bad-ta...

“A political movement that insists on solving a problem the data cannot substantiate is not engaged in neutral reform. It is redefining the electorate through procedural filtration…[&] structural barriers…the issue is not fraud prevention but power allocation.” open.substack.com/pub/theratio...

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

From immigration to public lands, Trump's pattern is the same: ignore statutory limits, consolidate control, move fast At East Potomac, @democracydefendersfund.org & partners @democracyforward.org & Lowell & Associates went to court to ensure federal law—& public access—come first

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Just in case anybody who isn't a fascism lover thinks that this regime isn't trying to create nazi America. Here is one of the best presidents we have ever had telling us that they are trying to turn America nazi.

ICE surges “make us safer”. What BS. www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

Just noting this because I have cited the trends a lot recently: Tracking data from Civiqs now shows a plurality of the public favors abolishing ICE, with 47% in support and 46% opposed. Independents are net +5 on abolish, up from -40 a year ago substack.com/profile/4791...

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

HHS Sec RFK Jr.’s guidance is amazing. I’m glad kids will know to only eat things fried in beef tallow and that we’re easing the stigma around toilet-seat germs so they’ll feel comfortable snorting more cocaine. Vaccines are for the weak, kids. Dying from measles builds character

American workers want to be treated like a human and not a robot. They want their time and energy and effort to be properly valued. They want corporations to understand that their skills can’t be replaced easily with technology. And they want a party that fights for that. trib.al/WfUNMmO

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract. The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

Affordability isn’t just about prices. It’s about power. When corporations jack up rents, lock you into subscriptions, and squeeze every dollar they can out of you, life feels unaffordable—even if wages rise. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/02/11/w...

When my husband calls the Trump Regime “Bozo Fascist” this sort of behavior from Noem & Lewandowski is EXACTLY what he’s talking about.

Today, we remember the students and staff whose lives were taken at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School eight years ago. Out of this horrible tragedy, young people started a movement to end gun violence, and Democrats will never stop fighting alongside them.

Let’s go!

NEW: Health Secretary Kennedy's allies are pushing in states to repeal school-entry vaccine requirements. Vaccine proponents view the effort as an escalation in dismantling the nation's vaccine system: 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/h...

So… let me get this straight… Howard Lutnick took his CHILDREN to Epstein Island AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex crimes AND lied to the American people about it? Time for him to go.

Yeah, Yeah…. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

📽️NEW: Trump is escalating efforts to undermine the 2026 midterms by openly embracing voter intimidation and federal interference. @marcelias.bsky.social lays out actionable steps to stop election subversion, from banning mass voter challenges to denying officials who interfere with voting immunity👇

The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it. What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none. So when he and his regime lash out about Epstein, understand why.
