Democracy does not protect itself. If not us, who? If not now, when? Be creative. Peacefully but courageously resist. Never give up. Support Democracy Forward and those who break through the gaslighting & corruption while we still have a democracy.

House Republican’s Shock Racist Post Triggers Instant Backlash Tennessee congressman Andy Ogles is showing his nasty side.

The MAGA hardliner is under fire for a shockingly Islamophobic post.

NEW: Threats to democracy are now a top priority β€” tied with inflation and cost of living β€” for voters ahead of the 2026 midterms, according to a new poll.

The results come as Trump says he wants to β€œtake over” voting and pushes for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act. https://bit.ly/4cyyxBu

AAUP-OSU statement on Ted Carter’s resignation as OSU president: 

β€œThe students, faculty, and staff of Ohio State deserve so much better than the failed leadership that has been inflicted on this institution over the years. The repression of free speech, the dismantling of diversity, the lack of accountability to survivors - the list goes on and on. We demand a more transparent presidential search that involves the input of faculty, staff, and other university stakeholders.”

Utah GOP passes 11th hour law to protect its pro-gerrymander ballot measure The Utah GOP has been hellbent on repealing the state’s current ban on partisan gerrymandering ever since courts struck down its previous congressional map for violating the law.

In an eleventh-hour maneuver, Utah Republicans closed out the state legislative session by passing a measure aimed at making it more difficult for voters to remove their signatures from a petition supporting a ballot initiative to legalize partisan gerrymanders.

ICE took their papersβ€”and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

ICE is releasing some immigrants from custody, but keeping their personal property. Phones. Keys. Work permits. Documents that prove legal status.

This endangers people's lives. ICE must be held accountable. https://bit.ly/4r0SuV7

As millions of Americans wondered how they were going to pay rent, afford food, and whether their sons and daughters would be sent off to war…this is how the President spent his weekend…unbothered, hanging out at his private resort.

To my colleagues across the aisle still covering for him, wake up.

Yes. Ogles is a blatant racist. And he faces no consequences for this.

Saying this about any other group would never be allowed.

It’s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.

Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.

We’ve become accepting of pure lies

Will there be a super El NiΓ±o later this year? Here’s what that would mean. The planet may experience a strong or even a super El NiΓ±o later this year. And it could cause record heat.

A super El NiΓ±o may develop in the equatorial Pacific Ocean later this year, causing significant changes in weather patterns around the world.

There’s a growing chance that it could push global temperatures to record levels.

Casualties is all this cruel regime is capable of creating. They are incapable of creating prosperity for the 99%. They only create prosperity for their cronies. They have created the ultimate swamp. Speak out!
Call Congress & demand ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
