Day by day, we are learning how many “leading” organizations will sell out us and our democracy to save themselves. I can only hope millions of Americans are now grasping the danger that only collective action can stem.

ABBY PHILLIP TO SCOTT JENNINGS: “Hold on… There are plenty of people over on (Fox) who lied about the election and denigrate half of 🇺🇸 every night, and they are allowed to do it… is the government supposed to be punishing people for speech they don’t like?”

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists 

But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Wake up!

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I first saw something akin to this portal in Dublin on Star Trek and then Stargate. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a portal that you could step through to visit another country or world? For now, we can wave and write messages on a board, etc.

California's first solar-covered canal is now fully online The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

This is why they’re deleting studies

"Some men improve the world only by leaving it." ~ Oscar Wilde

Thou shalt not let these disturbers of our harmony frighten you nor steal your peace. They feed off fear and hatred. Do not feed them.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

As I stand before Bowman Lake, I feel as though I’m in a cathedral without walls. The still water mirrors the heavens, the mountains rise like guardians on each side, and the horizon glows with rose and gold clouds—a quiet blessing. In this moment, the silence becomes sacred, and dusk itself feels like a prayer spoken to me.

Goodnight everyone

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

To hide slavery's central role in our history is false witness. Slavery is American history—it lasted longer than this nation has existed. Enslaved people built this country, we fought a war against the British to keep it and a war in the U.S. to end it.

It's a universal story for those who can not accept change because of their right to reign over others who were not born there. Instead, they fight the new energy and blood needed for the country's growth and longevity when they should be guiding them on the ways of their new country.

Migrants can't answer back.

They have no voice.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.

In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.

That is what is really going on here.

Show Me the Gerrymandering Missouri

Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago.

Exclusive: Newsom pollster sees big support for California redistricting California's vote this November on what's known as Proposition 50 will have tremendous consequences for the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

Democratic Governors, what more do you need to see?

WAKE UP. FIGHT.

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a fantastic event. When I first considered visiting Edinburgh, it was for the Fringe, but the Tattoo had me excited. It did not disappoint.

If Dems do not control the House in 2028 Rs will refuse to certify the election in the House.

They will claim millions of illegals voted and refuse to relinquish power.

Thats why they’re doing the stealmanders.

It’s imp you accept this fact so we can stop it
