"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

In Trump’s second term, the need for congressional action against corruption has never been clearer. Our latest report offers recommendations for strengthening the vital anti-corruption safeguards in the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses: bit.ly/3XdgCaq

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

If you want to understand why the climate regime has been unsuccessful, this article by @ninalakhani.bsky.social is a great place to start! It's so important to shine a light on the ways that the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated the COPs and shifted the outcomes of the efforts of the regime!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

"Railing against a “doomsday outlook” stemming frm “much of the climate community,” Gates claimed tht there’s “too much” emphasis on “near-term emissions goals”w/o addressing “poverty and disease.The link betwn higher temperatures->poverty & disease went unnoted.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.

being trans in america is dangerous no matter where you go

And the reason that the majoritarian pro-democracy wave now needs to go out to the streets is because the institutions have finally fallen. To me that is a story of how the Framers’ theories worked for a very long time- perhaps so long that we trusted they needed no defense

The root problem is that we didn’t stop that multi-decade plot. We could have reacted to Cit U and John Roberts differently; NYT could have gone a different way; we could have defended journalism as private equity killed it; used Congress to hem in the banks. As we did in the past- all these things

This looks like the satellite image that makes it clear where North Korea is.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses. In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Page One in Dallas. @dallasnews.com

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I know of no scenario that gets us to climate safety without a price on emissions. The free-to-pollute business model is now lethal.

i’m old enough to remember

How to Avoid A Climate Disaster 1. Ignore Bill Gates on climate 2. Repeat #1 thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...

In the last seven games we’ve seen Arsenal kickoff exactly seven times.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Curbing CO₂ emissions is the best way to reduce large-scale human suffering.

as @ketanjoshi.co has already summed up well on here: Gates slagging endlessly on climate “doomsday” talk is making up a guy to get mad at the biggest climate players and the most heavy-hitter climate science and policy folks are actively discouraging End Times doom rhetoric

It will always be incredible when history is written that Trump attempted a coup d'etat and then was given the keys to the entire government a mere 4 years later.

Louisiana is just a microcosm. If you undermine public health and remove public heath powers, outbreaks start bubbling up. As my friend @jimalwine.bsky.social says, "measles is the bellwether". And we are also having the worst measles outbreak in more than 20 years in the U.S.

By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

Historian here the United States Army is not a mercenary force beholden to billionaires. How can this be legal In a constitutional democratic republic?

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Georgia's Sweeping Anti-Voting Law Suppressed Black Votes, New Data Shows (Yunior Rivas/Democracy Docket) Main Link | memeorandum Permalink

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

Over 170 U.S. Citizens Illegally Kidnaped By Immigration Agents. Kicked, Dragged, Held Incommunicado, and Detained for Days More than 20 citizens were illegally denied a phone call their loved ones or a lawyer. In some cases their families couldn’t find them. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed — Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above." ~ Langston Hughes, “Let America Be America Again”

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Notch another win for automatic traffic enforcement. After San Francisco began using cameras to ticket vehicles, speeding dropped 72% across 15 sites (20,000 fewer speeding drivers).

SCOTUS decision killing what’s left of Voting Rights Act could cost Dems 19 House seats, eliminate every majority-minority district in South, eviscerate 14th/15th Amendments & fulfill John Roberts 40-year crusade against country’s most important civil rights law www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders. Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.
