This is Benjamin Netanyahu’s third visit to DC this year.

War criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress.

He should be held accountable for his crimes, not platformed. Beyond shameful.

So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later.
Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.

A tweet from rohit (@krishnanrohit) saying "This is Orwellian" in response to a tweet by Alessandro Rigolon (@alerigolon). Rigolon shares that he was instructed to remove the word "climate" from the title of an ongoing grant to keep it and that publications from the grant cannot include the word "climate" or other forbidden words. Rigolon expresses disbelief at this situation, noting that he is writing from the United States of America. The hashtag #AcademicSky is included.

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

38,000 gun deaths a year . . . GOP opposes gun control laws.

2 cases of voter fraud a year . . . GOP passes 361 new voter suppression laws.

Fascist assholes.

We’ve strengthened background checks and passed a red flag law to keep guns out of the wrong hands.

Tomorrow, our law banning deadly binary gun triggers goes into effect.

We’re not hiding behind thoughts and prayers in Minnesota.
