Our institutions are only as liberal as the people who sustain them. Don’t outsource your citizenship. Be an active citizen every day.

Black History Month is almost over, but the fight for freedom never is. Wherever we are, no matter the time, we all need to stand up to injustice. #BlackHistoryMonth

Nobody is free until everybody is free.

NEW: We released a report examining how the Trump administration is transforming state and local police into a national deportation force by expanding the 287(g) program.

Who are the people? ALL the people.

Our constitutional rights haven't changed. Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.

We're posting a series of videos commemorating contributions of Black soldiers and other freedom fighters to our nation's history. While not exhaustive, it should serve as a great introduction to the service and trials these heroes endured. #BlackHistoryMonth #America250 youtube.com/shorts/Vs_8O...

“What did it mean to be an enlightened ‘liberal’ in the United States before the twentieth century? What’s race got to do with it?” Read Keidrick Roy’s essay “Up from feudalism: the Black American liberal tradition” here: press.princeton.edu/ideas/up-fro...

Sending our regards to the family of Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader and student of MLK who fought for justice until the end.

Frederick Douglass got one single delegate vote at the 1888 Republican convention, making him the first serious Black nominee for President. 120 years later, Obama would take office. #PresidentsDay #BlackHistoryMonth

“I hold that a liberal and brotherly welcome to all who are likely to come to the United States is the only wise policy which this nation can adopt.” Read Frederick Douglass' “Composite Nation” here: #BlackHistoryMonth teachingamericanhistory.org/document/our...

Every person in this nation — regardless of immigration status — has the right to due process. We will defend that right with everything we've got. 📸 Scout Tufankjian

Some people choose to eat their Kit Kat this way. Others don’t. Yet, the diversity of ways to eat a Kit Kat doesn’t hurt anyone and only makes everyone happier. Maybe this can be applied to other things too.

We're thrilled to share another interview from the Liberal Emancipation series. This time, we chat with a contributor. Listen to Otto Lehto talk about his chapter here: youtu.be/dhc0mK9YETg

The Equal Freedom Institute joins the Nation of Laws Coalition to condemn the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. Read the full release here: lawdayofaction.org/ice-in-mn-st...

A public service announcement:

ICE doesn’t make our communities safer.

When the state asks the private sector to spy on you, who’s in charge of respecting your rights? When gvts bully apps like Discord to adopt data collection to “save the children,” we pay the price. It lets them collect info they can’t collect themselves, but can ask a firm to hand over at any time.

Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican, making him an American by birth. There’s only one way you can be more American than that, and that’s being an American by choice. #SuperBowl #Immigration

Immigrants deserve better.

“My wife is American. My son is American. I live here. New York is my home. I studied here and I plan to fight my case in court. So if they have anything to present, let’s see them in court." Mahmoud Khalil should never have been detained for his speech. New York is his home, period.

"Several Democratic-led states are pursuing laws trying to enable people to sue federal agents deployed to their communities for civil rights abuses." #ICE www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

There is no reason for trans athlete bans in schools. State legislatures cannot continue to punish a small number of kids to court favor with cable news hosts. Figuring out who you are as a teenager is hard enough without government overreach.

Let's abolish ICE. It isn't a radical idea. The organization is barely old enough to drink. With that as the starting point, the interesting question for community leaders is what pro-immigrant border policy truly looks like. #ICE #AbolishICE

"What the world needs, I think, more than ever, is liberal emancipation, both as an overarching response to our challenging age and as redress for the misguided ideas... proposed as the chief means to deal with contemporary traumas."

Today marks the day President Lincoln signed the Thirteenth Amendment, sending it to the states for ratification. The Constitution doesn't require the President's signature for an amendment, but he decided to endorse it anyway. #BlackHistoryMonth

When neighbors solve problems together without waiting for a mandate, that's freedom. Real change starts from the bottom up, not the top down. What can you build today?

"The liberal agenda has historically been at the forefront of ideological doctrines unremittingly in pursuit of equal freedom for all people." - Dr. Mikayla Novak www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c8r... What's the most interesting thing you learned from Dr. Novak?

Anonymous federal agents can't coexist with democracy. The foundation of our republic is at stake. #ICE

True patriotism isn't blind obedience. It's guardianship. We love our country enough to hold it to its highest standards: liberty, equality, and justice for all. When we defend the rights of the marginalized, we are defending the soul of the nation. #LiberalismIsPatriotism

BREAKING: Federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses. We condemn this killing and demand ICE and CBP agents withdraw from Minneapolis immediately.

Liberalism is patriotism

To all in Iran standing for human rights: the world sees your courage. Liberalism isn't just an American creed; it’s the universal demand for consent over coercion. True order isn't built by silencing dissent, but by protecting it. Your agency is the foundation of a free future. #EqualFreedom

temperament is defiant: we believe the future is unwritten, and we are the ones holding the pen. We do not accept political decay as inevitable. When liberty and equality rise together, democracy strengthens. When they split apart, power fills the gap. Liberalism’s task is to keep them in balance.

Civil society is where liberalism breathes: neighbors solving problems together without waiting for orders from the state or the market. That’s bottom-up freedom.

What does liberalism mean to you?

Power is only just when it answers to the people. That isn't just a political rule; it's a moral claim. No one is born to rule, and no one is born to serve. That is the promise we inherit and the standard we must uphold. #EqualFreedom

True patriotism isn't blind obedience. It's guardianship. We love our country enough to hold it to its highest standards: liberty, equality, and justice for all. When we defend the rights of the marginalized, we are defending the soul of the nation. #LiberalismIsPatriotism

Liberals are the base of the Democratic Party. It's time to start acting like it. If the Dem establishment doesn't wise up and fall in line, they need to be pushed out of the way. We can't afford deadweight anymore. Not when jackboot thugs are in our streets killing Americans with impunity.

On the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, we've come full circle. It's time to face facts: America is rapidly accelerating towards tyranny, and dragging the entire world order down with it. The only way we can stop this is if liberals give up hope on feckless centrist "leaders."
