Reverend Jesse Jackson was a strategist, organizer, coalition-builder, mentor, and friend. He dedicated his life to breaking down barriers and taught us when a barrier falls for one of the locked out, it opens the doors for all.
Today, we said thank you and goodbye to Rev. Well done, good and faithful servant.
The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.
Today, Donald Trump and his administration are once again trampling on our rights and our freedoms. Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were fulfilling their duty to the American people to report and inform, and they have been arrested for it.
Donald Trump continues to consolidate power and show a flagrant disregard for the rule of law. This arrest is another affront to our rights and freedoms and should alarm and enrage us.
Today in Minneapolis, ICE agents shot and killed a woman in a shocking incident. Governor Walz has announced the state will ensure a fair investigation, and I am grateful for his swift action.
Many of us have seen the horrifying and painful video, which makes it clear that the Trump administration's explanation of this shooting is pure gaslighting. A full and fair investigation at the state level is absolutely necessary.
I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
As much as I disagree with the teachings of @charliekirk11 I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to him and his family. Gun violence has gone unaddressed for too long and has caused unprecedented violence and destruction on both sides of America. I urge our nations leaders and congress officials to act now on gun reforms.
