I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

In America, we don't have kings OR dictators.

On October 18th, from small towns to city streets, at 2700+ events, we will show the world WE DO NOT BACK DOWN!

Together, we’ll make clear to the 47 regime: American democracy is not done!

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?

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatened legal action against Mike Johnson for failing to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.

"Arizona's right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate."

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

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
