We need to push back hard on the lies the Republicans are telling and MSM is spreading. It’s up to us to educate those around us. Help them find independent news sources!

It’s “states’ rights” if you want to force women to give birth without healthcare, and “states’ rights” if you want to ignore kids getting murdered in schools, but apparently “states’ rights” don’t exist when the president wants to send troops into cities that didn’t vote for him

Don’t miss JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING at the Mark Taper/CTG. A hilarious production of a delightful and all-too-timely play. Must see!

Lolllll Mundo was also in Gaza?!

No words. 😒

California can’t claim no power in Congress, like DC—home to 700,000 people, more than either Vermont or Wyoming—can. But it’s time to think outside of the electoral box and start flexing our considerable leverage. We are the nation’s largest agricultural state—growing more than a third of the country’s vegetables and ­three-quarters of its fruits—and the fifth-largest food producer in the world. We produce the most milk and the most wine, copious amounts of rice and cattle, and, crucially, 90 percent of US avocados. Other states may be poster children for farms, but we’re No. 1. Hollywood is a $47.2 billion industry exerting, for better or worse, immeasurable global cultural power. The $623 billion tech sector is even mightier. Were California to secede, almost 15 percent of America’s GDP would go with it, and the US could slip behind China as the world’s biggest economy. Short of actual secession, what could California do? It could learn from the Jimmy Kimmel showdown and lead a financial “countervalue” rebellion, using “the full weight of blue states’ market power, cultural influence and legal authority to raise the stakes of Republican red-state aggression,” Democratic strategists Arkadi Gerney and Sarah Knight wrote in the Washington Post, by imposing “regulatory and economic costs that bite hard enough to make the constituents of even the most insulated legislator feel the pain.” We could start by disinvesting our pension funds from red-state companies like AT&T, American Airlines, ExxonMobil, and Tesla. “The 15 blue trifectas (states where Democrats control the governor’s mansion and both houses of the state legislature), with their larger state budgets and more generous pensions, have state investments that total almost 75 percent more than the 23 red trifectas,” they note.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

HEY VIRGINIA! If you’re not paying attention to November’s election yet you need to. Now. Here’s why.

"Their terrible little secret is that they can't make their best-laid plans real unless you allow them."

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Here is the really screwed up part that pisses me off as a Democrat. NOBODY is going to vote to say thank you, NOBODY. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Democrats will fight for this and get NOTHING OUT OF IT. In America today Democrats would electorally be better off letting Republicans do this.

HMM…JUSTICE COSTS; INVEST IN IT…

Flood the Zone with Truth and Facts...

Spot on.

This is not a drill: Chicago

DEMS - especially Dems in GA - make a MEAL OUTTA THIS! And i don't mean the rubber chicken...

This is how you know just HOW compromised this court is.

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

I need mayors and governors to step up to the plate and start using local and state law enforcement to arrest ICE agents who blatantly violate the law like this. Breaking into someone’s car for the purported crime of “driving while Hispanic” is not legal cover simply because they pull someone over.

Every accusation is what?

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

There should be a permanent and ever-growing protest in front of the Supreme Court.

Every Democratic Member of Congress should announce they're donating this month's salary to health care non-profit organizations. Hit Trump and the GOP twice: first for taking a vacation while collecting a paycheck and second for holding the health care of millions of Americans hostage for greed.
