TODAY — and every day until we have justice for all: We fight for equal rights and we join together to support each other in this battle. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

Being on the ground with young adults, I can absolutely verify. All that mommy blogging really did have a cost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1xB...

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

I released my 2025 tax returns, and now I’m urging all Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to do the same. I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve.

🚨🚨

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Pamela Jo should be testifying under oath today before House Oversight about the Epstein Files, but she is intentionally ignoring her subpoena. I mean, as far back as Feb. 2025, Pamela Jo was hellbent on getting justice per the below Facebook post. Let’s get the contempt process started, shall we?

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The Associated Press getting on board. "The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile fossil fuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy."

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Yay, Anthropic! Sue the Pentagon's ass off! "Trying to crush a business because the government doesn’t like what the business does is a textbook violation of the First Amendment." From @elienyc.bsky.social

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

This horror show of sexual abuse by rich and powerful men who think the law does not apply to them is not going away. Enough is enough. They must be held accountable. www.americaamerica.news/p/epstein-ac...

Legislator wants to legislate, while Mike Johnson is determined to play every game possible to prevent the House from interfering with the imperial presidency he serves.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

The Trump administration says it will dismantle a key climate-science center, while salvaging its forecasting capabilities. “Today, predicting the weather without considering the climate would be meteorological malpractice," Michelle Nijhuis argues.

The fact that the people still pay for the BBC but it has taken a crazy rightward shift is pretty sad. I guarantee you have boomers there that still trust it to give them impartial news.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Feeding the country lies isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here’s the truth:

It is uncertain if the Taco Wacko is attempting to imitate Robespierre and the Reign of Terror in revolutionary France. Instead the US is saddled with RobsthePoor and the Reign of Error.

This cover of “America” is quite touching.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.  Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Scotland’s a sense of change, an endless becoming for which there was never a kind of wholeness or ultimate category. Scotland’s an attitude of mind. —Maurice Lindsay, “Speaking of Scotland” published in COLLECTED POEMS 1940–1990 Just in case anyone was wondering about being Scottish…

Super wealth is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, greed, and abuse....at the expense of the public wellbeing. History has proved that gross imbalance in wealth is a recipe for national decline.

Totally agree. It's like tasting a delicious but never before imagined recipe perfectly executed. Time stops, and all thought turns to repeating that sensation.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it tends towards justice", while attributed to MLK (he quoted it) was published over a 100 years earlier by Theodore Parker (1853), a minister and abolitionist. Several years later the same thought and sentiment could be found in a Scottish Mason's tract:

One should have no respect, and especially no allegiance, for those who break their oaths to defend the constitution. Resistance is a duty against "Not my President" and his fellow parasites.
