The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

I’m white passing. Once had someone look me in the face and say “Usually I don’t talk to blacks, but I’m sure you don’t know your dad to associate with that side.”

I do engage with black culture. I know my father, and in fact my parents were married. This was my first introduction to this person.

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

They're the ones making our neighborhoods unsafe. They're the danger to our children. They're the threat to law and order.

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

Pennsylvania voters will cast their ballots in one of the most consequential elections of the year: the state Supreme Court race. With three Democratic justices up for retention, the outcome of this contest could flip control of a court that decides election laws.
