BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Things suck. But, the second civil rights movement is going to be fought with a much larger porportion of the population in support of it, and with a citizenry that thinks nostalgically about the relative prosperity and strength of the United States during its era as a multicultural democracy.

Why is glyphosate, one of the most litigated chemicals in American history, being quietly sprayed across our national forests? This is the secret plan to cover the world in herbicide—that they don't want you to know about.

A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Great speech, dude.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with her outfit… 🤔

Thanks! The person who first explained that to me was the late Professor John Doheny of the UBC Department of English, around 1975 or so.

Dude said he wants to fight Elvis.

A federal judge ordered a 14-day halt to construction at a Washington County warehouse that ICE plans to convert into an immigration detention center. The judge said the broader legal challenge filed by Maryland's AG Brown could succeed on the merits. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Eventually, the moral failings of military leadership are going to damage public support for the troops. This will be Hegseth’s legacy.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I dunno man. It’s also morally wrong, but if I were the GOP right now, I would not be eager to make it even harder to vote. Dems will crawl over broken glass to cast a ballot against Trump; meh Republicans or low propensity voters will just stay home.

On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure.

The firing (or whatever) of Noem is a good start, but no one should take their eye off the ball. Keep pressing for accountability, it runs all the way to the top.

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran. Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight. But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

It is Wednesday, February 11. The Super Bowl was three days ago. The sun will die in approximately five billion years. Death comes inexorably for us all. And large portions of MAGA and the Trump administration are still talking about Bad Bunny's halftime show: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This Super Bowl is reminding me of the United States I thought I lived in.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

It’s Dotard International Airport, then.

We can reverse America’s decline | Bernie Sanders

Now they've arrested Don Lemon. It's not a crime to report the news or question the President of the United States. It's our constitutional right as Americans.

It’s wild to think that Trump still intends to follow up on all of these recent events with a UFC match on the White House lawn.

It's a war and the American people are the enemy. Can't do the fake "no they're just after the bad guys" after you shot two people for no good reason. bsky.app/profile/ndre...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.

Abolish the U.S Department of Summary Execution, now.

“I’ve been dressing like a Nazi for a long time” isn’t that great a defense

In 2010, the Supreme Court upended campaign finance law and allowed corporations to dominate our elections. 16 years later, the impact of Citizens United has been devastating to our democracy. We need to overturn Citizens United & end this flood of corporate money into our political system.

Trump shares some interesting company as the last person to be gifted a Nobel Prize medal they did not earn was Joseph Goebbels.

Ok 2026, please settle the f*** down.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

Terrorizing American citizens. Threatening American allies. Covering up for American sex criminals. Welcome to the Trump administration, 2026!

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us
