The world our mothers fought for

Last night as I stood on the floor watching Kamala Devi Harris accept the party’s Presidential nomination I was overcome with emotion and gratitude as I sat in the historic nature of this moment. I thought of the generations of mothers and daughters who have hoped and dreamed of this moment.…

My op-ed on Kamala Harris’ candidacy

This is on behalf of everyone who has ever been left out and left behind. When I first met Kamala Harris, I realized the clear similarities between our personal stories. Not only the challenges we faced as Black women in politics, but also the overlaps in our upbringing, the strength our moth…

re: Childless cat ladies

Get your free sticker today Doesn’t it seem like every time JD Vance opens his mouth, something alarming comes out? He supports a national abortion ban. After calling Trump "America's Hitler," he told him, "I will faithfully serve by your side. He spews misinformation about the 2020 election.…

Too controversial for the public? Then it shouldn’t shape our democracy

Project 2025 is not a threat, it’s a promise. The people behind Project 2025 are hiding a key part of their dangerous manifesto. They’ve touted a “secret” 180-day action plan to overhaul every federal agency and fundamentally reshape our democracy as we know it. And they refuse to release it …

I'm personally asking

This movement's support is something I will never take for granted. Friends, This is Ilhan Omar, reaching out ahead of my primary election on Tuesday. If you were to ask me what the worst part about running for Congress is, I'd say that it's the obscene amount of money it takes to build a suc…

Team Cori 💜

There is no place for outside spending in our campaigns My sister-in-service Cori Bush fought hard for the people of St. Louis. Her movement for the people and by the people proves that progressive values benefit the whole community. And her loss in the primary this week, though heartbreaking…

If Donald still hasn’t figured out how to pronounce Kamala, perhaps Madam President will do just fine.

“I have been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.” At first I couldn’t believe those words came out of Donald Trump’s mouth. But on second thought, it wasn’t all that surprising, because he has a long history of outlandish, offensive lies. During a panel at the …
