Rep. Jayapal is a tireless champion for working families and a dedicated public servant. We stand firmly with her and commend her courage in the face of these threats. Political violence is designed to intimidate, silence dissent, and put anyone who dares to speak up at risk. There is no place for it in a democracy, and every one must condemn it without hesitation.
Targeting peaceful political dissidents isn’t patriotic, it’s frankly un-American. Trump’s memo is nothing more than a blueprint for intimidation, laying the groundwork to surveil, harass, and dismantle lawful movements for justice and democracy.
Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives slept on it and had a change of heart. He’s back on air because those executives got a wakeup call from the American public.
Iger’s cowardice is bad for Disney and bad for democracy. There was a time when Disney was on the side of democracy, producing some of the most memorable anti-fascist cartoons of the 1940s to help us win the war. But eighty years later, Iger is tarnishing a great American company’s reputation with his cowardly capitulation to Trump’s goons. Rather than stand up for free speech, he’s falling over to help an unpopular president squash dissent and trample our rights. Shame, Bob, shame.
Americans have the right to free speech without fear of government retribution. What we’re seeing instead is the President colluding with corporate media executives and powerful station owners to muzzle voices he doesn’t like. That’s not just censorship, it’s an authoritarian playbook.
Indivisible announced the official launch of its 2025 electoral program in Virginia, targeting a powerhouse slate of Democratic candidates for statewide office and the House of Delegates in what is set to be one of the most consequential elections of the decade.
This is a turning point for Democrats; now more than ever, we need fighters in Congress who meet this moment of crisis with the same boldness and tenacity we’re seeing in communities across the country rising up to defy Trump’s power-grab and intimidation tactics. Any spending deal must meet the needs of the American people and rein in Trump’s lawlessness.
In America, no one should be targeted with violence for their beliefs or political affiliations.
