NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

“I know it’s scary and I know that there’s a lot of doubt, but now is the time for us to find our heroism.”

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

President
doesn’t

if
he

he
fomented
an
armed
insurrection.

So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office.
He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Read more A huge 89% majority of the world’s people want stronger action to fight the climate crisis but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling “spiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests.

A MORAL CRISIS

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Bukele, Abrego Garcia, and Red Lines Emergency Triad: Are we now a country of political prisoners and gulags?

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely.

Staffer: No

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Chief Justice Roberts pauses deadline for return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador Chief Justice John Roberts has agreed to pause a midnight deadline for the Trump administration to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

THAT is not justice! THAT is racism!

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia.

Very normal administration we have here.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.
