If the Voting Rights Act is deemed unconstitutional, it won't be long until these malicious cartoon villains come for the Civil Rights Act. The biggest trick the Devil ever played was the "both sides are the same" nonsense.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the EA takeover because you’re not a gamer, here’s why it should concern you anyway.

2 out of 3 people in the US play video games —and right-wingers are gearing up to control their content.

Their messaging, their propaganda. Coming to a console near you.

People with #EA games accounts should probably be really upset about Jared Kushner's company, Affinity Partners, buying EA. A private investment firm with ties to the government purchasing a major data gatherer is cause for concern. Don't let the lead get buried because of the Saudi prince.

I mean, "all" would have been fine for the covid shot lol. This is a recommendation, not a mandate.

🚨 ATTORNEYS AND FAMILIES OF IMMIGRANTS IN CENTRAL TEXAS DETENTION CENTERS:

👉 CHECK ON THEM 👈

Something weird is going on at Fort Hood...

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice.

People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment.

Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America.

Speak up now. Press conference today.

California, Oregon, and Washington to launch new West Coast Health Alliance to uphold scientific integrity in public health as Trump destroys CDC’s credibility

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

Pritzker gets it.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Translation: "If you don't suppress people from voting, my party will lose."

Mail in voting is critical for working people, rural voters, and marginalized communities to be able to cast a ballot.

We cannot sit by and watch Trump try to take their right to vote away.

The occupation of our capital city is not “a distraction.” It’s part of the dictator’s playbook.

The attempt to rig the rules of the next election is not “a distraction.” It’s a direct threat to the will of the voters.

Fighting for our democracy is not a distraction.

Former CDC Director William Foege: How public health can fight back in a time of dangerous nonsense “Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time,” writes former CDC Director William Foege.

Former CDC Director William Foege:

"We will live through this drought of values, principles, and facts and again apply our talents to improving global health & happiness. Do not back down.

In the meantime, be clear. Kennedy’s words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus. Americans deserve better."

Can someone explain how banning gay marriage will fund schools and lower rent and make groceries affordable?

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

The HHS Secretary, is planning to remove all 16 members of the USPSTF the expert panel that decides which preventive services (cancer screenings, HIV prevention meds) must be covered by insurers under the Affordable Care Act.

I don’t care if he doesn’t back this up with further action, in a normal time, this is a major scandal, showing the president of the United States has nothing but contempt for the first amendment, basic rights, and his fellow citizens and will act accordingly in various ways.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho
