Itamar Ben Gvir:

"Annihilate, smash, eradicate, erase, crush, shatter, burn, be cruel, punish, ruin, crush. Annihilate!"

This is the genocidal voice of the Israeli government.

"In the end, however, such an apparatus has a potentially fatal flaw. In order to function effectively, millions and millions of people must be willing to go along with it.

Without her hormone therapy, denied by prison staffers after Trump's inauguration, Alishea Kingdom started having panic attacks, struggled to sleep, and experienced suicidal thoughts.

Now she’s part of a class-action lawsuit filed last week against the president and his team.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

'My Monthly Salary Is $114': Garment Workers on What It's Really Like to Make Your Clothes From poor working conditions to extremely low pay, hear from garment workers in their own words.

"A new generation of young women garment workers are organizing across factories and borders. They are even building relationships with women workers in the US. The fashion industry has no idea what's coming."

America, keep your hands off my country — and my body 80 per cent of Canadians who are happy with the status quo in our country regarding people’s right to choose what they do with their bodies and futures.

Liz Renzetti: "Canadians have resisted [Trump's] invitation to become the 51st state ...Around 90% of Canadians in a recent poll scorned the idea, for a variety of good reasons... Why would Canadians want to join a nation where half the population does not have control over their bodily autonomy?"

Courts shut down Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship—for now "Our system of government is improved by an injunction that prevents unconstitutional executive action."

“I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order

Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!

Interesting take on what the nerd lords are trying to accomplish

Trump acting like he is the CEO of the U.S. doesn’t mean he is. He literally is not allowed to do much of what he is declaring. He is neither the CEO nor king. Do not comply in advance.

I am told the leadership of NOAA’s office of human capital has been fired

Also the vibe.

I love it
