Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

Trump's EPA plans to repeal climate pollution limits on fossil fuel power plants The Trump administration plans to get rid of all limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants.

Growing up with a speech impediment and getting called the R word while simultaneously being placed in the gifted program, I realized at about seven years old that people think being able to communicate in a very specific way is the same thing as being "intelligent" and "right."

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations.

Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily.

We must stop them.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.
