ICE has shot two white american citizens at point blank range while being filmed. it’s hard to even imagine what atrocities they must be doing to brown people behind closed doors.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Not only is it historically and factually inaccurate, but it is also deeply irresponsible. From the critical role female spies played in the American revolution to the Navajo code talkers in WWII our diversity has always been and remains one of our nation’s greatest strengths.

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systematically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

It’s a love story, baby, she SAID YES

Democratic Party Leaders: You have talked for six months about the need to create political excitement to get working class and young people involved in the political process. That’s exactly what Zohran did. Get behind him.

While the Democratic candidate may have ultimately lost last night in the House District 100 election, swinging the district by 24 points is a huge deal. Keep volunteering, keep organizing, keep having important conversations. It is working.

It has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve you, the American people.

The morning light coming through the stainglass at the National Cathedral as we prepare to honor President Carter is simply stunning. What a gorgeous place to honor a humble public servant.

On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas. The horrific images are still vivid. I was a 31-year-old unknown Secret Service agent, suddenly thrust into history. At 92, I have come to terms with my place in history. I tried. I was unsuccessful, but at least I tried.

Live from New York, it's Saturday night.

Former President Jimmy Carter is 100 years old today! Join us in honoring our visionary co-founder, America’s humanitarian-in-chief. No other U.S. president has lived so long or done so much good for so many after leaving office. bit.ly/3zFj0Pf
