Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S. Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world. www.nobelprize.org

Lawyer, here. 1st Amendment codifies the right to be “free speech,” assembly and religion, without interference from govt. This violent govt act blatantly shatters these protections. This pastor, these victims will never see anything resembling justice. Open civil rights violations are the norm now.

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

Dolly is alive and sending a message in her very adorable way!! 🥹🙏

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.” The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

A parent's first duty is to be a shield. To protect their family from harm. Republican rigged maps are a direct harm to our children's future. Prop 50 is not a sword; it is our shield. It is our duty. Vote YES on Prop 50. #Yeson50

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

ICE and Kristi Noem treat everything as a photo op. It’s torture porn. It’s white Christian supremacy recruitment. Here she is praying at the Portland ICE Detention facility, asking for a “hedge of protection” for the officers. No prayers for those being kidnapped & beaten of course

So we will have 4 elimination games tomorrow Tigers-Mariners at 3 ET Cubs-Brewers at 5 ET Yankees-Jaya at 7 ET Dodgers-Phillies at 9 ET

NEVER FORGET 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

The Supreme Court fights over whether medical expertise actually exists www.vox.com/politics/463...

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Make stupidity embarrassing again.

The rest of America is finally witnessing how this country had treated Black and Brown people.

I case you feel like being nauseated today, the Oversight Committee released some Epstein documents. You can find the birthday book in the embedded link (the first “here”). shorturl.at/oyeWu

These are the domestic terrorists

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

It's black letter, can't get more explicit, printed in US code you ignoramus. 31 U.S. Code § 1341 (c)(2) *JOHNSON: SOME LEGAL ANAYLYSTS DON'T BELIEVE IN SHUTDOWN BACKPAY

It's happening right in front of you. Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act. It's happening in plain sight.

Can’t wait to watch. I’ve started reading The Double Tax, and it’s eye opening, incredibly researched, and compelling.

Thanks, New Yorker

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

AI data centres are gobbling up environmental resources. Billionaires are flying around on private jets. Endless amounts of money & resources spent on wars around the globe. But inhalers are the real threat to the climate? They really will blame disabled people for everything

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Watch and share. Deplorable didnt cover it. These people are evil emboldened

Tennessee's 7th Congressional District (TN-07) Democratic Primary - UPDATE: - ☑️ Aftyn Behn - 8,406 (28.1%) - Darden Copeland - 7,413 (24.8%) - Bo Mitchell - 7,150 (23.9%) - Vincent Dixie - 6,924 (23.2%) We can project Aftyn Behn wins the Democratic nomination for TN-07.

A very rigged state.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

“If we don’t want people using drugs outside you have to give them a safe place to use. If you don’t want them on the street, we need to give them housing.” Brandon of @4bharmredux.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup. #CareIsNotCoerced www.cbc.ca/radio/checku...

At an international meeting and so bittersweet to hear non-US scientists throwing around diversity, equity and inclusion without any fear of government retribution. 🥺

Hello. I even come with my own memes

This is who we are.

We told y'all.
