This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

“Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame”

ICE's repeated denial of essential medical care for people in its custody has become the dire norm at detention centers nationwide, putting lives at serious risk. Immigration detention shouldn't be a death sentence.

It's pretty fucking fearless to go back and do your goddamn oversight visit where they last framed you for assault.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The Trump administration is asking states to hand over voters' private data in an effort to create a national voter database. We've already taken steps to stop them in: ✅ California ✅ Colorado ✅ Maine ✅ Maryland ✅ Minnesota ✅ Nevada ✅ New Mexico ✅ Oregon ✅ Pennsylvania ✅ Rhode Island

Then they came for the Dreamers

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work. The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

If only they had hired Barry White

By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for two weeks. He bundled her into a rented canoe and paddled toward the nearest hospital, eight hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

incase anyone forgot almost a year since inauguration & Russia is still invading Ukraine 🇺🇦

The United States stopped an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela on Sunday, just a day after the Coast Guard boarded another oil vessel, according to a report from Bloomberg.

BREAKING: The United States has seized a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. This is blatant piracy. The US must release the tanker and cease its dangerous blockade in the Caribbean.

SCOTUS will stop it, but I want the fight and I hope they do it.

Among the 13,000 documents released, some are extensively or virtually totally redacted. While the law permits withholding information to protect victims, obscured portions include the names and faces of numerous Epstein associates.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS🚨 The House just passed Rep. Boebert's H.R. 845—a dangerous bill that would strip Gray Wolves of ESA protections & block court review if it clears the Senate. 📞 Senate is next. CALL (202) 224-3121 & tell your Senators to REJECT anti-wolf legislation!

wolves lost the house by 7 votes‼️

Mass firings, buyouts and heightened uncertainty led to an exodus of federal workers in 2025. More than 300,000 employees will be out of the government by the end of December.

At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing President Trump — less than a day after they were posted.

The Australian government announced a gun buyback plan on Friday following the deadly mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach last weekend.

Every court that's heard our birthright citizenship lawsuits have rejected President Trump's attempt to rewrite the 14th Amendment. Now it's up to the Supreme Court to uphold the fundamental right that everyone born on U.S. soil is an American citizen.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

Earlier this week, Senator Mike Lee introduced an amendment that would have removed protections against selling America’s national parks. Of course, you absolutely REFUSED. And it's working. 💪 (1/4)

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law? I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

breaking… us…

While families beg for the ACA subsidies to be extended, Republicans in DC are more worried about delisting gray wolves from endangered species list. "The bill also blocks any effort to challenge the delisting in court."

Should have put the survivors in charge of the redactions rather than staff for one of the guys

The US should just give Hawaiʻi back to the Native Hawaiians.

Sen. Ron Wyden on the Trump DOJ not producing all of the Epstein files, as required by law: "Anything short of a full release today is a violation of the law and a continuation of this administration’s coverup on behalf of a bunch of pedophiles and sex traffickers."

Just take the Statue of Liberty down & store it away until we get a new admin. “Give me your poor tired & huddled masses yearning to be free…” is meaningless now.

Not still the Department of "Justice." I don't know what it is now. Department of Retribution?

DoJ will NOT release all the Epstein files today. So predictable. They say they’ll release some today, and more later on a “rolling basis.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

I don't blame them one bit.
