A lot of people talk about “saving democracy.” The real question is: who is building the power to defend it? Democracy survives when people organize.

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Shuler: No kings is about standing up to the guy in the White House. But no kings also means tearing down an economy built for billionaires and instead building it up for working people—more money in our pockets, because no one in the richest country on earth should struggle to get by

John Lewis said "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic." In QAC, that's not passive. That's a call to show up. Are you showing up? 💙 #MakeGoodTrouble #QACVotes

ICE’s violence is not an accident. It’s the result of lawless operations — and Trump’s abuse of power. This weekend, we expose the pattern. We demand accountability. We build power — together. #ICEOutForGood

In an extraordinary move to counter Republican redistricting in Texas, roughly 30 Democrats in the state House are heading to Chicago today to deny a necessary quorum for the GOP to move forward with those efforts. They plan to stay for the week, in a plan brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

New York mayoral candidate arrested by Ice: ‘Trump is looking to stoke conflict, weaponize fear’

theguardian.comNew York mayoral candidate arrested by Ice: ‘Trump is looking to stoke conflict, weaponize fear’Brad Lander was manhandled and marched out of the courthouse after trying to shield a man from arrest – but, he tells the Guardian, he’s not backing down As New York city comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was hauled away by masked Ice agents on Tuesday, all he could think about was whether there was anything more he could do for the man he was trying to help, an immigrant New Yorker named Edgardo. Both men ended up detained, but unlike Edgardo’s, Lander’s ordeal was over after a few hours. By the time New York governor Katy Hochul marched him out of the courthouse – after proclaiming, of his arrest: “This is bullshit” – videos and photos of the officers manhandling him had gone viral. The arrest of yet another elected official prompted widespread condemnation of another sign of the US’s steady slide into authoritarianism. A host of New York politicians, along with a swelling crowd of angry New Yorkers, awaited Lander outside the courthouse in downtown Manhattan.

Mamdani: This military parade the other day is a perfect example of everything that’s wrong with the MAGA movement—a focus on pomp and circumstance over actually addressing the needs of working- and middle-class Americans.
