Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

For a glimpse at how John Brown was portrayed as a villain of American history allow me to suggest you watch the 1940 film Sante Fe Trail with Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn.

The DC"parade" is an occupation people. More city assaults designed to provoke a call for martial law will continue up to the day. #hello
They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term.
They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.
Are we all clear on this?

NEW: Trump to USA: There is no rule of law.
Today, Trump signaled he would not abide by court decisions and return to the US a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He won't even ask El Salvador to send him back. This is cruel & dangerous.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.

Don't want anyone coming between Putin and Trump, do we? Last person Trump talks to wins, Putin knows.
Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia was excluded from high-level talks on ending the war after the Kremlin said it didn't want him there, a U.S. administration official and a Russian official tell NBC News.
Kremlin told U.S. it didn’t want Trump’s Ukraine-Russia envoy at peace talks
