A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

MAHA’s out here all smug with their lies about vaccines and sat fats while the same administration cuts nutrition benefits for children.

Talk to me about removing food dyes when every kid in the U.S. has enough to eat.

We are the richest country in dollars and the poorest in humanity.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't β€” and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Republicans control the majority in Congress right now.

No matter your political party, the idea that DOJ is outright lying or misleading federal judges should be a five-alarm fire for my colleagues.

When will they act?

Every day the news gets crazierβ€”but with AI, rampant misinformation, and newsroom spin, it can be hard to discern what's real.

We're so thrilled to welcome Susan Bordson to our monthly Blue Tennessee meeting this Thursday to help us decipher it all!

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

I support free speech, but I also think Bluesky should ban anyone that says eating the lower half of a mermaid is not cannibalism

I don’t care if genetically it’s fish flesh not human, in my book it still counts as cannibalism and I expect this platform to uphold that fact

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

This is so, so correct.

One of the worst things tribalism does to a person is detach them from their principles. You might have a lot of opinions of what people deserve, but nobody deserves injustice.

Not the people ICE is abusing, nor people on which political violence is falling, and not Comey

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

US congressman calls for National Guard to be sent to Nashville & Memphis β€œComrade O’Connell is using the city as an outpost for international gangs to set up shop in our neighborhoods.”

Of course TN Santos is
Inviting militarized policing here but he nor the state reps really care about crime. This is about quelling dissent, terrorizing citizens and opening doors for illegal ICE raids.
An Ogles is what you get with extreme gerrymanderingβ€”not the best.

Democrat Catelin Drey wins Iowa Senate special election, breaking Republican supermajority National and state support from Republicans and Democrats poured into the race for Iowa Senate District 1 with the GOP supermajority in the balance.

Congratulations Catelin Drey and to the people of Iowa!! They have broken the republicans supermajority!! Republicans will now need support from at least one Democratic senator to confirm Gov Reynolds' nominees to state agencies, boards and commissions.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.
