You’ve Inherited Millions of Acres. Republicans Are Stealing It From You. This land may not be your land for much longer

Here’s some good news: if you’re a U.S. citizen, you own part of 640 million acres of public land.

Here’s the bad news: Republicans are trying to sell it off.

Ryan Busse sounds the alarm.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

Let’s look at the facts:
DHS claimed there were “about 1,000 rioters,” but Reuters couldn’t independently verify that number. Meanwhile, flash-bangs used against peaceful protesters ignited one of the fires captured in widely shared photos.

What would Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill mean for Americans?

50,000 more deaths each year because of huge health care cuts and higher drug prices. All to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

We’re fighting back to stop it.

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem. It's not a very long poem, folks

The Trump administration is advancing efforts to dismantle mental health services tailored for LGBTQ+ youth, particularly within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Time for another digital security PSA with guitar … here’s “All the Small Things” but it’s about scrubbing metadata from your photos before you post them 🤘

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.

Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.

Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

Tree of Life, or frost pattern on the glass over my raised bed?

We wanted to reshare this with more details—please help spread the word! This is getting out of hand—they just can’t accept a loss.

Undaunted, Uninterrupted Sen. Cory Booker stirs the nation

Each week, The Contrarian selects an "Undaunted" individual working to defend democracy

This week's spotlight: Senator Cory Booker

Sen. Booker's marathon 25+ hour Senate speech was a masterclass in substance, courage, decency, and conviction—qualities our democracy needs now more than ever.

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card."

The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

They are wonderful!
