Another reason we can't "just get private bookmobiles to schools to get kids banned books" is that this isn't about the books. It's about the fundamental rights to democratic spaces that represent a whole community. Right now, judges are chipping away at *our* rights. bookriot.com/parnell-vs-e...

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

They’re loving it. Your health care is not on their minds.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

The crazy thing is that we want affordable healthcare for them, too.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Before engineering the Trump administration's government shutdown response, Russ Vought spent years building Project 2025 strategy. “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said in 2023. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work.” (Pub. Oct. 2024)

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

The best news! ❤️

The Trump administration's broad restrictions on the public's use of drones in Chicago limit our ability to monitor federal agents' actions and make it harder to hold them accountable for wrongdoing. This puts our communities — and our free speech rights — in danger.

Republicans passed a bill in July that's ALREADY leading to hospital closures including children's hospitals, and surgery and maternity centers. Threatening millions of more people's healthcare is unacceptable. If we're so broke, repeal the tax cuts you just gave billionaires.

We are about to enter Day 3 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House. 2. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

The federal shutdown will affect people across the United States. NPR's network of member stations explains what will be impacted and where.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70+ years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

Nearly seven million pregnant women and young children depend on WIC for healthy foods. Advocates say funding could run out in about two weeks, leaving states to close the gap if their budgets allow.

According to PEN America’s latest report, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was the most banned book of 2024—and that should trouble us all. Books that make us uncomfortable are often the ones that make us think the most. Banning them makes our shelves, and our society, poorer. #FreedomToRead #BookBans

America needs its own Clown Brigade, who will answer the call🤡

Deploying National Guard troops to help the Trump administration deport our loved ones and neighbors is a waste of taxpayer resources that will only harm our communities.

Fact-check: Most of the goons in Trump's deportation army aren't even ICE agents. Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs. Check out the full report: tinyurl.com/yvavwh4f

The Republicans are lying their arses off – at the same time they're trying to make you hate. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for a single penny of healthcare funding. Don't let Republicans' othering of people whom they hate rub off on you. Do not let their hate infect you.

I cannot stop laughing at the cartoonist’s JD Vance sketch. The eye makeup is just too much. ☺️

You really think some undocumented immigrant that picks lettuce 12 hours a day, 7 days a week is going to blow ten grand on a ticket to the Superbowl? Call it what it is: the ICEstapo gets to go to the Superbowl on the taxpayer dime as a reward, not a mission.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

A new book lays out how John Roberts was pitching himself to George W. Bush for a Supreme Court seat at the same time he was presiding over a controversial case involving Bush's administration. Exclusive excerpt: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump and Republicans are causing health care costs for millions of Americans to skyrocket. Now, they’re refusing to negotiate to fix the crisis they caused. They are responsible for this government shutdown.
