Peace is a luxury America can no longer afford.

pretty sure that what we see out of chicago is going to be happening in some variation all over blue state or blue county usa really soon & there’s never been a better time to support local & indie news outlets on the scene(s)

Republicans are lying to the American people about the government shutdown. It's shameful and they know it.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Wanna know whose shutdown this is? Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.

The fight for health care for the most vulnerable in society should be a straightforward cross party agreement. Unfortunately the Republicans are mandated to reject that in favour of tax cuts for the people who bought them.

Unbelievable. Outside the Portland ICE facility, a man and a woman were standing and talking to a pair of cops with shields when one of them draws his pepper spray and unloads it into her face. She was still crying out in pain several minutes later and had to be taken away to get medical attention.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Telling Democrats "just give us your votes, talk to us later about health care" is NOT going to cut it. I'm saying NO. Premiums are set to more than DOUBLE. Republicans need to get serious about negotiations to reopen the government AND address the GOP health care crisis.

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

More blatant extortion attempts coming out of the White House this morning. Trump and Vought are targeting projects in blue states to punish their political opposition by hurting regular people. Everyone can see these crooks for what they are and none of us should be intimidated.

But I thought he said he “knew nothing about” Project 2025?

Youth-led anti-government demonstrators in Morocco filled the streets for a fifth straight night on Wednesday, as protests over the state of public services descended into deadly violence.

The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

I came here to say this. Before I spend any money, I check out the brand’s potential right wing affiliation. Don’t give these corporations your hard earned dollar, folks. #GoodsUniteUs

On brand. He cares not at all about Americans. He does care about overt displays of wealth and power. He's an ugly ugly man.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

The justices will begin their next term in October and continue through the end of June 2026. If things stay true to form, President Trump will benefit from the Roberts court’s generous takes on executive power. The rest of us may not be so lucky. trib.al/drgi7AK

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved. Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf. No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

VA doctors who give us the healthcare we’ve earned are saying loud and clear: this Administration is hurting veterans’ care.

Mississippi, on the other hand, with a GOP governor, state house and state senate, ranks * 45th in business starts * 46th in academic performance * 51st in health care * 49th in venture capital But tell me again how the GOP is good for the economy

With so many institutions caving to Trump’s threats and falling in line, it’s never been more important to support grassroots organizations that are keeping up the fight for our democracy. Please pitch in if you can to help make the upcoming No Kings Day as big, powerful, and effective as possible.

California is now a safe haven for reproductive care: doctors can anonymously ship abortion pills to people in other states. While bans spread, access is being mailed out overnight Thank you Governor Newsom

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

So many govt workers lost their jobs to save money, which he then spends on fucking solid gold office decorations

DOGE’s effects are even worse than we initially realized. Months after Elon Musk departed, Social Security is suffering extensive damage, with the cuts hitting local field offices the hardest. trib.al/9443Jjj

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
