There's only one question that matters: Do you love democracy?

Because loving something isn't just a feeling—it's an action. It's showing up. It's fighting for it when it's under threat.

So infuriating.

Constitutional rights aren’t rewards for paperwork efficiency. They’re supposed to exist whether life is disorganized or affordable. If a government creates barriers to basic documentation or voting, it’s restricting access to the rights it’s supposed to protect. Full stop.

Seamus Culleton said conditions at his detention centre in Texas were akin to “torture” and that the atmosphere was volatile. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.” Continue reading...

I'm glad I read this wonderful story this morning.

Americans can’t even afford to get a doctors note to call out of work (which is one reason we work sick and have such dire public health).

Indiana hospitals “are expected to reach annual losses exceeding $1 billion within the next three to five years” as a result of Medicaid cuts and other issues.

Rural hospitals will be in serious jeopardy just as The Regime leaves office, exactly as planned.

This is Literally the Job Political journalists need to stop pretending they don't know what Republicans are going to do.

"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."

Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

Multiple people detained, at least one injured during anti-ICE protests in Eugene Witnesses told KLCC that some protesters had been pepper-sprayed and some had been taken inside the building.

"They know people are showing up to demonstrate, and they want to scare those people, so they go home.”

At least one woman was injured in Eugene Tuesday after federal law enforcement responded to an anti-ICE protest.

So much love for @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social
