Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

Exactly. Few know Collins’ MO better.

Stealing from the poor, giving to the rich, at a time when inequality is already at record levels.

Inequality is the thing that holds us back most — and this Republican bill exacerbates it. (Again) #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

His speech at Fort Bragg today should send shivers down the spines of every patriotic American. Gearing up to use the military against American citizens in cities everywhere.I cannot believe how fast the fascism is coming.

Read every word.

“But there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

This is really why they want to cancel NOAA. They want all talk of Climate Change shut down. I hate the disrespect and snide remarks this guy gets, just for going above and beyond his job as a Meteorologist.
Thank you Chief Meteorologist Gary Stephenson, for sharing the warnings of Climate Change

This is a pretty important point!

Why millions of Americans would lose health insurance under House GOP megabill With the Senate poised to consider the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, here's who may be vulnerable to health-care coverage losses if the legislation passes.

We need to keep speaking up and speaking out against the terrible budget bill.

Millions would lose healthcare if it passes. We cannot let it. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/06/...

Alert: RFK Jr. entirely vacates CDC's expert vaccine panel. Duly elected members learned of terminations by reading the news.

Senator Cassidy owns this.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

This moment is why we were so opposed to Pete Hegseth being confirmed.

The cruelty is the point

Getting in some light reading...

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Couldn't have said better! FYI @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on a list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."
