BREAKING: The Brennan Center and 2 dozen+ other orgs sent a letter to Gov Gretchen Whitmer urging her to withdraw MI National Guard members from DC. There's "no reason to trust” the Trump admin to use the troops “appropriately or even lawfully,” they write.

If the whole planet went to complete solar & wind energy we could stop global warming in 5 years. 5 years,folks. The oil & gas industry would be relegated to machinery only.

1,200 former DOJ employees have just sent a letter urging Senators not to confirm Todd Blanche as AG: "Many will rightly underscore the corruption and abuses that have defined the Justice Department under Todd Blanche’s leadership... we urge you to reject Todd Blanche’s nomination."

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

Nearly a year after Trump’s mass government layoffs, the National Weather Service and NOAA are scrambling to replace scientists and collect missing data. The NWS is hiring for hundreds of mostly entry-level positions, after losing about 15% of its employees. newrepublic.com/post/212739/...

The photo of a young Black woman sitting betweenl young White Klu Klux Klansmen, aka White Nationalists on the bus to DC. is iconic. But the most striking aspect of the photo is that we can see her sweet face, but not one face of the KKK cowards hiding behind surgical masks, caps and sunglasses.

Well, I adopted a problem child kitty, she has been treated roughly in her past and she will bite without warning and sometimes attack my ankles in a stealth attack.😱 I suppose a lot of people would return her to the Humane Society but I won't. In time I know she'll be fine, it just takes patience.😉

Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.

Because you need to gaze upon a newborn whitecoat harp seal. 🤭🥰

Gosh, how could anyone doubt the emotional, behavioral, and moral/ethical fortitude of this guy? If it's erased from the internets, it must mean he's okay, right? 🙄 #Platner

DOGE was a complete failure.

As an aside, remember when people used to have to work their way UP to running for Senate? Work in local government for a while, move on to the state house. Make a run for the House. After some time and experience, you can run for Senate. I'm sure this dates me, but we should go back to that.

You filled up a whole one of our heart containers today! Thank you! ‼️ ❤️ Do we have any folks out here who could kick five bucks a month our way? We could fill up the next container for only $100 if 20 people signed to be Supporters at only $5 a month! the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/

How many people will have died in the concentration camps before people act? How much innocent blood will be spilled before we tear it down? How many before he is removed from office?

President Trump has made substantial efforts to curb renewable energy development. The Ute Mountain Ute tribe in Colorado managed to bring a big solar project online anyway.

there's (rightfully) been a lot of attention paid to la, chicago, minneapolis, and dc, but the the joint federal-local task force in memphis is uniquely horrifying in ways not seen in other cities. this is at least the fourth person shot during the task force's monthslong occupation.

Black people lost voting rights because of Mitch. Black women lost thousands of jobs because Mitch refused to vote to impeach Trump 3x. Black childbirth mortality rates spiked even higher because of Mitch. When Black ppl died from Covid in 2020, Mitch said it was a "blue state problem".

I wanted to share my thoughts on the proposed OMB rule change that would radically transform federal grant-making into an overtly partisan political process. It's highly alarming, and would be devastating for American science (among many other things).

Local toddler headbutted my glasses off and then attempted to lick the inside of my nose.

Looking at the week ahead, Elias Law Group is litigating 80 voting and election cases in 40 states (plus DC). This is a lot of work for a small firm of 60+ lawyers. When we fight we can win!⚖️🗳️💪

Resistance is an art form! Kevin Champeny's work celebrates the beauty of accumulation how countless small elements can create depth, movement, & meaning that no single piece could achieve alone. A reminder that the smallest details often carry the greatest impact. 🔥🔥💙 #pinks
