Audre Lorde Taught Us: 'Survival Is Not Theoretical' The poet and author taught generations of Black women to fight for access to the full spectrum of womanhood. The restoration of a documentary about her life and work couldn't come at a better time.

Audre Lorde Taught Us: 'Survival Is Not Theoretical'

Park Service employees are being bombarded with guidance telling them to promote Freedom 250, the Trump-run org, in place of America250, the statutorily-bipartisan congressional commission. They were even urged to add the Freedom 250 logo to email signatures. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Big picture, Trump took over the previously bipartisan planning for the country's 250th anniversary, with a car races and a UFC fight on his birthday, is using it as another way to shake down corporate donors, but is also spending taxpayer $ on it, without oversight, and is forcing feds to go along.

The horns and whistles work What it's like to watch community activists stand up to a Border Patrol raid.

Two months ago I wrote a story spelling out how the on the ground tactics of activists and neighbors worked.

This powerful PSA from Epstein survivors will air during the Super Bowl. “Stand with us.” ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

One Whitehall official said there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

"And is this burning city in the room with us now, congressman?"

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

Question 4 is absolutely crucial.

The Clear Labels Act Would Change What You Know About Your Prescription Medication The bill, introduced by Sens. Rick Scott and Kirsten Gillibrand, follows a bipartisan investigation that cited ProPublica’s reporting on dangerous foreign drugmakers and the medicine they continued to...

ProPublica had to file public records requests and sue the FDA to obtain information about where generic drugs are made and whether government inspectors had flagged those factories for concerns.

Now, a new Senate bill aims to add transparency.

The Justice Department sued Donald Trump, his father, Fred, and Trump Management in order to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. The case eventually was settled two years later after Trump tried to countersue the Justice Department for $100 million for making false statements. Those allegations were dismissed by the court. "Donald started his career, back in 1973, being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination - because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African-Americans, and he made sure that the people who worked for him understood that was the policy, Clinton said on Monday night.

This was over 50 years ago.
