I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health. It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.

Trump is overseeing the demolition of billions of dollars of hard-to-replace, high-tech military equipment (radar arrays, airborne command centers and more), bleeding munitions stores low and may spill rivers of American blood in a war of self-destruction: www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

All of our questions are “unauthorized.” The Pentagon is trying to breach the “make no law” barrier in the first amendment and impose gross censorship. No.

Land of the terrified, home or the assassinated:

They want you focused on wars abroad while they destroy communities at home. Billions for bombs. Nothing for healthcare. Nothing for housing. Nothing for you. March 28. We SHOW UP! WE TAKE A STAND! LFG! #NoKings2026 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The Department of Veterans Affairs has launched an expansive plan that threatens the civil rights of tens of thousands of veterans. The plan would funnel veterans facing homelessness into guardianship — stripping them of their ability to make decisions for themselves, often permanently.

At today's hearing, @blumenthal.senate.gov brought up letters we obtained from kids held at the Dilley detention facility: propub.li/4lZbTF1 He also referenced our reporting on how Trump has detained the parents of more than 11,000 children: propub.li/4c2uqg9

Trump tells endless lies, for a purpose, and also leaves us undefended against massive, AI-driven foreign influence: youtu.be/7TVIqbtORmk

@chriscooperwcu.bsky.social The High Point Public Library is to host author Christopher A. Cooper on Sunday, April 19, for a discussion of his book “Anatomy of a Purple State.” The program is in partnership with the League of Women Voters – Piedmont Triad.

Former member of the foreign service & old friend gently shows how Trump’s “Pearl Harbour” faux pas boomerangs: benjustesen.substack.com/p/more-forei...

The president’s scheme to deploy ICE to our airports is reckless. President Trump is once again threatening our rights and safety to advance his unpopular agenda. Congress must remain firm in denying further funding for ICE without real reforms.

Harm done by the lawless president is not readily undone (most of us will spend the rest of our lives stumbling through the wreckage): www.cjr.org/feature/unsi...

The US Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to roll back emission standards of ethylene oxide, which is used to sterilize medical equipment such as syringes. #chemsky 🧪

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's restrictions on journalists at the Pentagon are unconstitutional. The government doesn't get to decide what news the public has access to.

Trump plans to get a lot of brave Americans killed in his misbegotten war.

Pleading for an end to the #NCGOP political insanity, with little chance of being heard by North Carolina’s most powerfully arrogant Republican: greensboro.com/opinion/edit...

Berger may be surprised that the NC State Board of Elections unanimously refused to stretch (break) the law to grant his request to attack a select list of voters (recalling a recent NC Supreme Court race): wral.com/news/nccapitol/nc-elections-board-berger-recount-request-senate-page-march-2026/

this cartoon from 2017 was allegedly satire but there's absolutely a decent chance he'd do it, given the opportunity

No, Berger isn't running for North Carolina Supreme Court Seat #6, but there is an eerie sense of deja vu about this: www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

N.C. Senate leader Phil Berger fought to build a drain on family incomes in Rockingham County. He called it a boon but voters were unpersuaed and responded at the polls: greensboro.com/news/local/g...

It should be called the "demolish act," because it is an integral part of the Trumpist assault on democracy.

Immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have filed more than 18,000 challenges in federal court. The cases, known as habeas petitions, total more than were filed under the last three administrations combined, including Trump’s first term.

See film ⬇️ on how Chicago's BPP formed alliances across race & ethnicity with other groups to address policing, housing, & more. For COINTELPRO & now anti-CRT, anti-DEI attackers, real concern isn't (as they claim) "white guilt," but "interracial solidarity." www.zinnedproject.org/materials/th...

As the Trump administration pushes to bring anti-Trump activists up on terrorism charges, it’s finding that Texas has already cleared a path. State prosecutors are using a 2023 anti-terrorism law to investigate and charge what the Trump administration has deemed an “Antifa cell.”

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.

Help push us over 2500 letters! Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do so too). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest-she's making money off it all. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
