I wonder who else has had their USSS protection canceled. It can't just be Bolton.

These Senate Democrats just helped the GOP advance one of the most dangerous immigration bills in recent memory: Mark Kelly (AZ) Ruben Gallego (AZ) Jon Ossoff (GA) Gary Peters (MI) Elissa Slotkin (MI) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) Jacky Rosen (NV) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Maggie Hassan (NH)| John Fetterman (PA) Mark Warner (VA) If your senators are on this list, give them a call and tell them to find their spines.

The Senate just voted to advance a bill that will hand MAGA extremists power to hijack federal immigration policy and target legal immigrants.

And these Democrats helped make it happen.

Trump’s next attacks on abortion rights will be more insidious than a ban “We can’t be fooled by things that were said during the election season to win.”

As Americans flock to RedNote, privacy advocates warn about surveillance Privacy advocates are also warning against using the app.

“People looking for alternative social media apps should be cautious about the privacy implications of sharing information with an app that has not yet seen substantial public scrutiny outside of China,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @theverge.com.

VPNs Are Not a Solution to Age Verification Laws VPNs are having a moment. On January 1st, Florida joined 18 other states in implementing an age verification law that burdens Floridians' access to sites that host adult content, including pornography...

It is no surprise that Google searches for VPNs in Florida have skyrocketed. But as more states and countries pass age verification laws, it is crucial to recognize the broader implications these measures have on privacy.

SCOTUS just agreed to take a case about whether it violates parents' rights to religious exercise if schools instruct kids on gender and sexuality in ways that conflict with parents' religious convictions. (Mahmoud v. Taylor)

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

My god, the capitulation is stunning. Our fourth estate is clearly in the hands of independent media.

The Toxic Broligarchy Are Ready to Flex Their Power & Insecurity On America

Ahead of Trump's inauguration, a cadre of insecure, weak billionaires are bending the knee to protect themselves & their interests & cosplaying as Alpha men to court Trump's toxic base.

That’s a lot of words to say “my hair will melt.”

The irony of MAGA wanting to take over Canada and Greenland but can't handle being outside in the cold for a single day for Donald Trump's inauguration.

As I reported for @motherjones.com, abusers exploit abortion bans: "When the state says ‘You do not have choices, in a way, that signals to an abusive partner, ‘The state’s not giving you this choice, I don't need to give you this choice either,'" one expert said.

Thanks to President Biden, Medicare is capping the prices of 15 more prescription drugs, including medications for Type 2 Diabetes, cancer, and asthma.

If Trump and the GOP try to stop these price cuts, it will be CLEAR who they really serve - their billionaire buddies.

It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

Antiabortion advocates look for men to report their partners' abortions Boyfriends and husbands can have uniquely personal and specific information necessary to help surface new lawsuits in states with abortion bans.

This partner-focused approach will shift to a more public phase next month when Texas's largest antiabortion organization launches an advertising campaign on Facebook and X to reach the husbands, boyfriends and sex partners of women who have had abortions in the state - with the goal of recruiting them to file lawsuits against those who assisted the women in ending their pregnancies.

Anti-abortion advocates are running ads to find & encourage men to betray and sue their partners. This makes me sick. wapo.st/40nfmD2

Men who who tried to revive their “masculine energy” by bending the knee…

This is a topic I’ve been thinking a lot about. As more content is streamed and controlled, we lose access to that content when either the publishers remove it or we no longer can access that service. For the internet, the wayback machine usually helped in recalling old versions of websites.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
