Tell Paramount/CBS not to cave to Trump. The future of the free press is on the line

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Big Oil has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause "globally catastrophic harms."

Those are their own words.

And yet they kept burning.

Listen to David Arkush testify in front of Senate Judiciary on Big Oil's complicity in the climate crisis:

Well said Boss. 👏 👍

"Peace president."

Trump is sending 2,000 ADDITIONAL National Guard troops to LA.

There haven't been any protest-related arrests since Saturday.

Hell - many of the protests have already died down.

Trump is using the military as a personal political weapon to inspire fear in people who oppose him.

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

A sitting U.S. Senator was just forcibly thrown out of a DHS presser.

A SITTING U.S. SENATOR was physically stopped from asking questions in an OPEN PRESS CONFERENCE.

This. is. not. normal.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.

His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”

He might never walk again. For showing up.

This is brutality. This is America.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

He gave you a huge platform and you consistently shitted on him for a disagreement. Stop bashing people who are trying to create a better world.

Kristi Noem in tight athleisure—white top, drawstring grey pants—in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Idk, they seem to deliver unbiased news on the regular.

Idk, everything Cenk predicts comes true. I think they’re actual populists that are trying to root out the money in politics.

No, the billionaire President, the world’s wealthiest man, and the VP that had his Senate campaign bankrolled by a tech billionaire are not doing the bidding of the working class.

I know it’s easy to be pessimistic right now but I just want people to understand that we’ve never lived in a worse time and it’s only getting worser

"The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

"This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments" - Dr. Lucky Tran

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

The State Department website has replaced "LGBT" with "LGB"

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

Time to post this again

Trump ordered a federal spending freeze on all grants & loans.

Students won't receive financial aid. Food assistance programs like SNAP are on pause. Programs like Medicaid and rental assistance will be impacted.

All this does is make it harder for working people to survive.

A week ago I was being told to apologize for saying Trump would be worse for Gaza because he faked a temporary pause/pretend ceasefire to coincide with his inauguration.

Now he’s just openly endorsing/encouraging ethnic cleansing.

I’m starting to think it might not have just been a simple hand gesture
