Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

β€œOne young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, β€˜I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He β€œbegan to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, β€œfolding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He β€œasked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Finally have my chest port in and my PICC line out. They did find a blood clot but I was more concerned with getting on my stand up paddle board. Priorities, right?

RFK Jr. Takes a Sledgehammer to Two Major Vaccine Developments Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is already implementing his dangerous anti-vax views at HHS.

β€œKennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

A black and white photo of a young Mary Beth Tinker in a sweater with a black armband on sitting next to her mother in a dark dress who is writing in a notebook. Other people can be seen sitting next to and behind them.

In 1968, 13-year-old Mary Beth Tinker was suspended from school for wearing a black armband to protest the Vietnam War.

We took her case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Mary Beth and students’ right to free speech 56 years ago today.

Activists in Portland, OR have called for a counter-demo for a planned "Patriot Flag Wave" on a highway overpass, which is being planned with the help of local Proud Boys, who will also be attending. Multiple Proud Boys with documented histories of violence in the PNW have said they will be going.
