Democracy enjoyers: At least the courts are rebuking Trump

The Supreme Court:

Let’s talk about #reconciliation and how the bill text Republicans are proposing is exactly what the fossil fuel industry paid for.

Nightmare blunt rotation.

How to feels as an American to watch the Canadian and Australian elections

Freedom of speech is a fantasy

Donald Trump says his administration has approved a defense budget of approximately $1 trillion. This would be the largest Pentagon budget ever, from an administration that's claiming to cut costs.

People can criticize this season of White Lotus all they want but Victoria Ratcliff is the best character this show has ever had

This is how Israeli settlers and soldiers – supported by the entire Republican party & much of the Democratic party – is responding to a movie about peace:

No Other Land still does not have a distributor in the United States. This man risked everything to tell a story the powers that be are doing everything to hide

Before you read whatever The News says tomorrow just remember Israeli forces had already killed at least 150 people in Gaza since the “ceasefire”

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

To be clear, the US Institute of Peace is not part of the government.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

It’s just crazy because *allegedly* the entire reason we have the filibuster is for a moment like this. And yet these are our headlines right now. If these people want to be leaders they can’t be spineless. And to give Trump and the Republicans this CR is spineless

Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

My name is Zohran Kwame Mamdani and I approve this message.

Don’t wait for the tipping point ICE agents have kidnapped a Palestinian man, Mahmoud Khalil, who helped organize Columbia student protests against Israel’s genocide.

Columbia students and workers need to shut down the institution in response to the kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil.

TSA workers need to shut down airports in response to the Trump attack on unions.

No magic moment is coming, we need to force a tipping point.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Palestinian Student from Columbia Encampment, Says Advocates Agents told him his student visa was revoked. But he had a green card. Agents then said that was revoked too.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Every single one of these members should be primaried. Their office phones should be ringing off the hook with democrats demanding answers as to why they chose respectability towards a man they themselves call a Nazi over standing with their own party member who had the guts to actually fight for us

Why was the governor sitting down to discuss areas of shared agreement with an avowed segregationist in the first place?

Do democrats actually believe they are fighting fascism? Because they sure aren’t acting like it

No mainstream American awards ceremony had anyone speak on stage on Palestine or Gaza this year. It really filled my soul to see it done so powerfully.

No Other Land wins best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Oscars

"No Other Land" director Basel Adra: "We call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people."

Congrats to the incredible film makers for winning best documentary feature

It feels so powerful and hopeful that No Other Land just won an Oscar and the acceptance speeches are truly bringing me to tears

Heading into the LA Olympics in 2028, please know that this will absolutely be weaponized against cis non white athletes.
