The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

My niece lives a few blocks away, until ICE showed up there was just 12-15 people, with signs, 1X there was up to 200-Now no longer a peaceful gathering-It’s ICE assaulting/pepper spraying/throwing people to the ground/dragging them! Repeatedly claiming someone just standing was shoving ICE agents

I blame this violence by these ICE goons squarely on Donald Trump. He has fomented and stoked all of this disgusting violent behavior. He needs to be impeached for treason against Americans and the constitution of the United States of America!
You can deport people WITHOUT all this fucking bullshit!

Hastert molested four boys as young as 14 years of age during his time as a high school wrestling coach. Referring to Hastert as a "serial child molester", a federal judge sentenced him to 15 months in prison, two years' supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. He only served 13 months. GOP= pedos!

This is who Maria Corina Machado really is:

She helped lead the 2002 coup that briefly overthrew a democratically elected president, and signed the Carmona Decree that erased the Constitution and dissolved every public institution overnight.
