đ° Whatâs Happening Right Now
đĽ Jeffries to Trump: Fire Noem or We Move to Impeachment
Why This Matters: This unprecedented political confrontation underscores rising congressional alarm over what Democrats characterize as lawless and harmful DHS actions, turning immigration enforcement into a potential impeachment flashpoint â even as Trump and Republican leaders stand firmly behind Noem, risking further erosion of democratic accountability and public trust. Axios
đ Trumpâs Trade Negotiator Says Response to Court Loss Would Be Immediate
Why This Matters: This situation puts judicial checks and balances on a collision course with expansive executive power, threatening to erode legal limits if the administration can simply rebrand and reimpose controversial tariffs regardless of court rulings. The stakes are huge for global markets, U.S. consumers, and constitutional authority over trade policy, affecting everything from prices to international relations. The New York Times
âď¸ Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being âVery Badly Treatedâ
Why This Matters: Such rhetoric from a sitting president reshapes public discourse around civil-rights history and policy, undermining hard-won protections against discrimination â with broad implications for social cohesion, equity, and democratic norms. The New York Times
đ Fed Changes Course and Takes On Trumpâs Political
Why This Matters: The independence of the Federal Reserve is a cornerstone of U.S. economic stability; when political influence threatens monetary policy decisions â especially around interest rates and inflation â it risks destabilizing markets, eroding investor confidence, and undermining long-term economic health for short-term political gain. The New York Times
đĄď¸ Park Service Erases Climate Facts at Fort Sumter, Where the Civil War Began
Why This Matters: Erasing scientific context from national historic sites not only misinforms the public about existential threats like sea level rise but also undermines the National Park Serviceâs mission to educate visitors truthfully about the natural and cultural forces shaping Americaâs heritage. The New York Times
âď¸ As Cold Hits, Trump Asks âWhereâs Global Warming?â â Scientists Say Itâs Still Here
Why This Matters: Trumpâs misrepresenting short-term weather as evidence against climate change obscures the broader scientific record and hampers public understanding of how global warming drives extreme weather patterns, making it harder to build support for necessary climate action. The Seattle Times

This is our why
For nearly 250 years, democracy has been the lifeblood of this nationânot handed down by kings or bought by billionaires, but built and sustained by everyday people. It lives in our families and neighborhoods, in classrooms and clinics, on job sites and in voting lines. Itâs the teacher guiding the next generation, the nurse caring for their community, the worker keeping society moving, and the voter who refuses to be silenced.
Power has always belonged to the people. Thatâs why protecting democracy is not optionalâitâs our shared responsibility. When we defend it, we defend one another, our freedoms, and the future we are shaping for generations yet to come.

Youâre invited: Eyes on ICE: Document and Record
Details: đ Date: Thursday, February 5, 2026 đ Location: Zoom. RSVP today and bring your voice to the movement!
On January 24, 2026, federal immigration agents fatally shot 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, igniting nationwide outrage and deepening fear in communities already targeted by aggressive enforcement tactics. Pretti, who cared for veterans and peacefully stood up to oppressive federal action, was killed in broad daylight â the latest in a string of violent encounters that include the earlier killing of RenĂŠe Good.
Enough is enough. Exercising our Constitutional rights to document, record, and witness the actions of ICE, CBP, and other federal agents is no longer optional â itâs necessary. Every phone camera pointed at abuses, every legal observer trained, every neighbor supported keeps power in check and protects our communities from terror and unchecked force.
Join an important training via Zoom on Thursday, February 5th, 2026 at 8:00 pm ET for Eyes on Ice: Document and Record, a training call that will equip you with the tools to confidently and safely assert your rights when documenting law enforcement â and take action beyond it. Weâll walk through what you need to know, how to protect yourself and others, and concrete ways to stay engaged in the fight for justice.
đ RSVP for Link. Because courage isnât passive â itâs prepared.
