Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace.

I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

Trump Uses Black History Month Event to Brag About His Ballroom The president couldn’t resist the opportunity to talk up his $400 million ballroom.

The president couldn’t resist the opportunity to talk up his $400 million ballroom.

Corporate media executives are selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians.

This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top.

The real fight in this country is not left vs right; it’s top vs bottom.

A photo of Rev. Jesse Jackson speaking during an interview in July 1983.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as one of the young leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. His presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 electrified millions of Americans and showed them what could be possible. From Washington, DC to the Bay Area, from the Mississippi Delta to Appalachia, from South Africa to the South Side of Chicago, Reverend Jackson gave a voice to people who were removed from power and politics. He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead.

U.S. Military Moves Into Place for Possible Strikes in Iran

In this entire piece there is not a hint of even a semblance of a legal argument for how a war of this scale would be legal or authorized.

There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran.

None. Zero. Nothing.

Pope snubs Trump’s Gaza peace board The pontiff, who has criticized the U.S. president, believes the United Nations should manage international crises, his top diplomat says.

“Pope Leo will not participate in U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza due to concerns it seeks to undermine the United Nations.”

Do Not Be Cynical About Jesse Jackson He was never the caricature his critics wanted him to be.

Despite the caricature his critics created, Jesse Jackson’s “political vision was always inclusive, always multiracial, and always opposed to bigotry and prejudice of all kinds,” Adam Serwer argues.

He's trying to steal the 2026 midterm elections. If he succeeds, our children will be the first generation in American history to grow up under authoritarian rule.

Satellite Feature on iPhone Allowed Skiers to Seek Help After Avalanche The Emergency SOS feature on iPhones can send texts to emergency responders via satellite when there is no cell tower nearby.

The six survivors of Tuesday’s avalanche near Lake Tahoe communicated with emergency responders using the Emergency SOS feature on the iPhone and an emergency beacon, said Don O’Keefe, the law enforcement chief for California’s Office of Emergency Services.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

The Roosevelt family is urging the Senate to reject H.J. Res. 140, which would allow sulfide-ore copper mining in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, risking irreversible damage to one of America’s most pristine ecosystems for foreign corporate gain.

YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin Does ICE have the authority to be deployed polling places?

The President and his cabinet have suggested having masked ICE agents encircling polling places. It's not fantasy, and it's not made up. And we need to be clear-eyed about that.

Selling pardons to wealthy fraudsters and drug traffickers is a full time job in the Trump admin.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Trump is still posting about arresting Obama and prosecuting election workers The president’s response to intense national backlash over ICE: post through it.

Bruce Springsteen and What Protest Songs Sound Like to Soldiers What the rock icon’s new song about Minneapolis asks of us.

"'Streets of Minneapolis' is mournful rather than strident. It doesn’t ask whether a war is just; it asks whether *we* are. When he sings of 'snow-filled streets' and names the dead, he anchors the song in lived loss, not ideology."

Gabbard’s role at Georgia FBI raid angers Dems, puzzles election officials A White House spokesperson defended Gabbard’s involvement, saying she has a “pivotal role in election security.”

Minneapolis' Community-Driven Anti-ICE Organizing Is Showing The Way What Minneapolis activists have to teach us about organizing communities to resist ICE

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

‘Chilling’ hacking network is targeting vulnerable children, charity warns Ecosystem known as the Com is carrying out extreme exploitation, violence and sexual abuse, says report A leading UK online safety charity has issued a “public warning” about a hacking community that is targeting vulnerable children for sexual abuse, self-harm and suicide. The Molly Rose Foundation (MRF) said online networks linked to a global ecosystem labelled the Com were carrying out extreme exploitation, cyberbullying, violence and abuse – and called for a coordinated global response from governments, regulators, law enforcement and tech companies.

‘Chilling’ hacking network is targeting vulnerable children, charity warns

"I think they hate this because this is a state that works. And that assault will come to your state soon," Minnesota Governor Tim Walz told Isaac Stanley-Becker. Listen to the episode: theatln.tc/tMP667yW

Trump Shrugs Off the Ilhan Omar Attack He baselessly claimed that the congresswoman “probably had herself sprayed.”

When Donald Trump and his allies were the victims of political violence, they blamed the left’s rhetoric—but when Ilhan Omar was targeted this week, the president blamed her, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Q: What was Tulsi Gabbard doing an election center in GA?

TRUMP: She's working very hard on trying to keep the election safe. As you know, they got into the votes. She got a signed judge's order. You're gonna see some interesting things happening. They've been trying to get there for a long time.

President Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on any aircraft sold in the U.S.

President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on any aircraft sold in the U.S., the latest salvo in his trade war with America’s northern neighbor as his feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney expands.

Trump wants US taxpayers to pay him $10 billion. I’m sure Scott Bessent and Pam Bondi will fight hard to defend this lawsuit for us.

Ask anyone who’s been in combat: the most dangerous moments is right after the firefight when people think it’s over and let their guard down.

That’s what this “we’ll back ICE off a little” Trump signal is doing.

Don’t relax. Be calm, but focused calm, so you can do the daily things that matter.
