I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

It's near the end of Trans Day of Visibility, but visibility doesn't end at midnight. If you showed up on 3/28, show up for trans people tomorrow and every day. This regime wants to divide and conquer us, but their fight is our fight. And we win when we treat an attack on one as an attack on all.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

The ouster of Kristi Noem is the result of formidable organizing by people outraged at the actions of DHS. Great investigation and reporting by the media laid bare corruption and malfeasance and demanded accountability. Democrats shut down DHS with among other demands, Noem's ouster. Trump caved.
