NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

FYI - Early voting for the Public Service Commission, which sets electricity rates for the state - is going on now! 💙

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

🚨 🚨 This is a producer for WGN Chicago. This is Putin-style autocracy. WATCH

He's talking about the NO Kings rally.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

it’s all just a grift

“Human biology is attuned with Earth’s diurnal cycle; arbitrarily offsetting that cycle by one hour can increase obesity, cardiovascular disease, and depression.” #DitchDST

The story of the first 9 months of Trump's second term is a basic inhumanity. Treating immigrants as animals. Robbing people of basic health care to help billionaires. Taking away people's freedom to speak.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."

Remembering today the late 🇺🇸 American actress, comedian and singer #MadelineKahn (29 September 1942 – 3 December 1999) born #OnThisDay in Boston, Massachusetts

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

Whelp, Disney just saved me $20/ month! Canceled that shit.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Did the FCC threaten Fox when Brian Kilmeade suggested murdering the homeless? No? Weird….

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

(Jerry Lewis voice): GROYPERS

INCREDIBLE

So close to just saying “it’s what people want” but just can’t quite give it up all the way. “Message discipline of focusing on what people care about.” It actually would have worked as a “lesson” if he’d said “focus on what people care about AND THEN have message discipline about it.”

Graffiti resistance. Part 1/2

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is a direct threat to public health. "Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover."

Isaiah has been dragged to the ground and arrested inside of the Texas State Capitol for speaking out against Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal gerrymandering. We are waiting for more information as it develops.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels. roll_safe.gif

These corrupt, incompetent idiots are going to kill a lot of us wapo.st/4lWdVEE

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

People didn’t “used to be fine” without air conditioning during heat waves in the U.S. - a lot more people *just died*. According to this study, air conditioning has cut heat deaths in the U.S. by around 80% since 1960. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

7/7/25 fuckkkkkkkk

It is political.

Missouri passed a law in 2023 that prohibited healthcare providers from performing pelvic exams on unconscious or anesthetized patients without their informed consent because IT WAS LEGAL TO PERFORM A PELVIC EXAM ON AN ANESTHESIZED PATIENT WITHOUT CONSENT UNTIL 2023…

It’s gonna get so weird that people are gonna hafta talk about how weird it is.

I need this book! Lol 😅🤣😂

This is Eliot and Elsa. They like to cuddle. 13/10 excellent form (TT: krystall.krystall)

Look at the way these two respond to Trump. There’s a reason - I’m talking purely about skills as a communicator, the way they present as human beings - that one of these guys gives me hope and the other guy gives me a migraine.

Amid all of this hilarity, there’s rarely a mention of the detainees as human beings who have been plucked from their lives, sometimes without cause. | Opinion

Trump threatens to arrest Mamdani and then adds, "a lot of people are saying he's here illegally"
