@crockett.house.gov Congresswoman, I just ask you to reflect on - this is NOT the first time Texans (hell Americans) have neglected to vote on the strongest fighter to protect their best interests. With your history and your fight I know we have missed out on a great Senator. I’d beg you to stay

for being the honest broker-of-information and truth to America!!

@velshi.com @ms.now Truly - thank you for Iran-US history. I’m sure I’m not the only one that learned of the shared pain and betrayal of our past. Although I don’t see our present administration as having the ability to forge a new future - I have only gratitude for you and MS.Now

A photo of Rev. Jesse Jackson speaking during an interview in July 1983.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as one of the young leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. His presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 electrified millions of Americans and showed them what could be possible. From Washington, DC to the Bay Area, from the Mississippi Delta to Appalachia, from South Africa to the South Side of Chicago, Reverend Jackson gave a voice to people who were removed from power and politics. He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

“Well sir if you can’t define those behaviors, here in this secure and protected environment - it possible that murdering them in the street may not have been the correct action?”

“Can you identify the penal code where this is defined and what punishment is defined?” “Pony to the specific behavior where this people have demonstrated acting with that behavior ?”

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co Thank you for questioning of the strong and persistent questioning of this fascist ICE tactics. However I would like to suggest a different questioning strategy: “Can define the term is used, Domestic Terrorist?” “In using this term is it in fact a legal term?”

When Will Democrats Decide to Join the Resistance? The party needs to forge a closer connection with the people fighting for democracy in the streets. Here’s how to do it.

The democracy movement already has leaders. It would be to the benefit of all if Democrats find new and novel ways to join them.
