We need to call this chain link Florida abomination what it is: a death camp.

We cannot call it what the monsters who made it want us to call it.

"This is the kind of thing that anybody in America would look at happening in another country and say, this is clearly the result of some authoritarian regime run amok. They have no insignia. They're not identifying themselves. They're throwing people into trucks, effectively kidnaping them."

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights.
It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

🚨 “…sexual exploitation of women and children and the denial of political rights to minorities — are being deleted from the reports.”

This is extremely disturbing.

SC Republicans just passed a bill that bans DEI, defunds inclusion, and silences truth. All while claiming to “restore merit.” But let’s be real—this bill wasn’t about merit. It was about power. And it’s straight from Trump’s playbook. Click the link in our to read more!

The foundation of democracy is not voting, essential as it is, it is an informed citizenry. That is why one of the paramount jobs of autocrats is to attack education, free thought, ideas, speech, knowledge & facts themselves. And that is just what Trump, Musk and MAGA are doing. Everywhere you look.
