Comedians with jokes he doesn’t like: You’re fired.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

Report: ‘Shoot First’ Laws Shown To Be Dangerous, Discriminatory, and Costly Shoot First laws are not protective—they’re dangerous, Everytown reports.

“Shoot first” or “stand your ground” laws were meant to protect us. Instead, research indicates that they increase homicides and other violent crimes, especially in the South, and consistently fail to protect vulnerable people.

Trump’s obsession with immigration is really an obsession with segregation | Heba Gowayed His policies are the latest instantiation of a centuries-long American tradition: laws meant to exclude people of color and privilege whiteness

Among the Amistad Research Center's priceless holdings is Jacob Lawrence's remarkable 1938 Toussaint L'Ouverture series, group of 41 paintings depicting life of the Haitian revolutionary that Lawrence completed when he was only 21 years old, several years before his signature Migration series

It's really hard to tell at this point but I think years from now this will be one of the most destructive things that RFK Jr did at HHS.

Mammograms, FIT tests and colonoscopies, diabetes, blood pressure, depression screens. All of these are as widely available as they are because of USPSTF.

Columbia would rather destroy itself than tell these fascist losers no. what a fucking disgrace.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

My only hope is that one day Trump and his officials will face a tribunal on crimes against humanity.

News Analysis: Republicans voted on Friday to claw back $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funds — cuts they had sought for years. That they have finally been able to do it now speaks to President Trump’s grip on his party and broad changes in media. nyti.ms/3UqNsTP

We must be precise in calling out the Trump administration for what it is: a fascist regime.

WHAT IF…….The whole nation is being held hostage right now and forced to endure these things? Far more plausible, I say.

-Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water
-Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage

How does this “make America healthy again”?

But Trump has given ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

This isn’t business as usual. This is a fast track to full-blown dictatorship.

Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how:

By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

"We are involved in a serious social revolution. By and large, American politics is dominated by politicians who build their careers on immoral compromises and ally themselves with open forms of political, economic, and social exploitation."
