House Democrats must vote β€˜no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.

While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: β€œthe Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

A reminder from Brennan: laws are threats created by a dominant socio-economic group.

And what better way to remember this, than on a t-shirt to wear close to the chest.

The Trump regime illegally redacted the names of various men, including the President, who likely committed heinous crimes against women and girls, while illegally releasing nude photos and names of possible victims.

These people are truly evil.

Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

"...And that's what your holy men discuss, is it?" [asked Granny Weatherwax.]
"Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment on the nature of sin. for example." [answered Mightily Oats.]
"And what do they think? Against it, are they?"
"It's not as simple as that. It's not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray."
"Nope."
"Pardon?"
"There's no grays, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
"It's a lot more complicated than that--"
"No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."
"Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--"
"But they starts with thinking about people as things..."
--from Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett.

Trump Has No Way Out in Minneapolis The president has replaced Greg Bovino with Tom Homan on the ground in Minnesota, showing he’s desperate to change the narrativeβ€”but not his draconian policies.

The administration wants the American people to believe that the ICE and CBP officers who are terrorizing Minnesotans are actually the ones under siege. It’s a pathetic narrative and one whose implications are straightforwardly fascistic. trib.al/nrDuDaI

Methane pollution from US oil and gas infrastructure causes more climate change than the entire economies of all but seven nations on earth.

(This is with methane's climate impacts conservatively evaluated over a 100-year time frame. Evaluated over shorter time frames, methane's impacts are worse.)

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."
