Never wanted to be an activist, but I guess I was due for a new hobby. Stand with Ukraine. End the genocide in Gaza. Trans rights are human rights. Black lives STILL matter. Speak up for LBGTQ+ and Women's Rights. Hold the line. Use your voice.

Anyone surprised that this could happen in the US needs to read up on their history. Specifically:
- Trail of Tears
- Japanese Internment Camps
- Tuskegee Experiments
- Project MKUltra

That's just some of what we do to ourselves. Look up what we do to our "enemies" if you don't want to sleep well.

This is illegal: Musk announced in an overnight post on X that heโ€™ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsinโ€”but only to those who voted in the stateโ€™s Supreme Court election.

Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin.

Even Trump has got to be surprised by how much of the media has defaulted to, "Trump posted a long tweet that is the law now," and reality gets filed under "however, critics say..."

The chilling case of Mahmoud Khalil should enrage anyone who purports to support freedom Mr. Khalilโ€™s case is a chilling sign of U.S.โ€™s slide into autocracy and those on all sides of the Israel-Palestine debate should resist it

Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website

I searched this and just wow, there are tons of stories of Rogers' heroism & service but now the official DoD site not only says "not found" but the text is "deimedal" | see Congressional Medal of Honor list www.cmohs.org/recipients/c...

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You canโ€™t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

It's cute how you think health care was more affordable pre-Obama. Maybe that was because it was cheaper for healthy people back when we only insured healthy people.

It depends on your state. In Virginia, we can choose which primary to vote in, regardless of party affiliation.

Deporting speakers over supposed โ€˜propagandaโ€™ is a stock authoritarian move | Sarah McLaughlin

"The Trump administration has not been shy in asserting that Khalilโ€™s political expression is at the root of efforts to deport him," writes author and scholar Sarah McLaughlin. "You donโ€™t need to hold any sympathy for Khalilโ€™s views to see why this is an immense threat to free expression."

Mahmoud Khalil must be released, the Trump Administration must answer for his detention, and these attacks on First Amendment rights must end.

Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive orderโ€”from the President of the United States.

This is really, really bad. Columbia made the mistake of thinking that placating the administration would spare them. Other universities made the mistake of thinking it would stop with Columbia. It wonโ€™t stop without disciplined pushback; itโ€™s an existential question for American universities.

WaPo readers need to realize that every opinion piece they read is now the product of Bezos' rightwing censorship rules. Whether the author self censors or Post management does it after review, the result is the same.

This is what oligarch controlled media looks like.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side theyโ€™re on.
