Thinking this is wrong and untenable isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t, is.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

This. 100%.

If Trump pardons convicted child rapist Gislane Maxwell, they will absolutely officially be the pedophile defender party. The fact that this is even being considered is sickening. She also has been moved to a nice min security prison, a club Fed, ALREADY

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Thank you Shay Myers. Your content continues to show the humanity of those being targeted by Donald Trump and to show how our well being is interwoven. We need real solutions not just mass cruelty. Immigration is essential to our nation’s success. op: shayfarmkid (via IG)

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins. When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look. When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting so many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

In the past few weeks, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has referred to "ethnic cleansing" and "concentration camps" in Gaza, while a former Israeli Attny Gen, a former Israeli general, and one of Israel's most famous authors, have all said it's a genocide in Gaza.

Endless grift with a side of cruelty @jojofromjerz.bsky.social

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

"I imagine Donald Trump's name is in the [Epstein] file someplace. There are photographs of them together." Mick Mulvaney, Donald Trump's White House chief of staff when Epstein died in prison, talked to me on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. Full interview coming soon.

"Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials," per NYT.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

In news that should surprise absolutely no one.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

No king but King Jesus.

Rep Lauren Boebert (R) suggests Sen Padilla (D) committed a federal crime by interfering with officers. Boebert has expertise on that (based on her own 2015 arrest) and a history of supporting law enforcement (except the officers attacked by J6 rioters, whose pardons she backed)

My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

My nine year-old son just told me his favorite rapper is Kendrick Lamar if you are wondering how this parenting thing is going.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem doesn’t know what Habeas Corpus is. This is highly concerning

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Gertz: When you look at someone like Pam Bondi, she made two dozen appearances on different Fox News shows over the first 100 days of the Trump administration. One out of every four days, she’s on Fox News talking about whatever she says the Justice Department is doing. That just doesn’t add up...
