“Can’t 86 him? 25th him.” — Founding Fathers, probably.

Far-right fight groups endorse ‘youth clubs’ targeting US young men and boys Using fitness and sports as entry points into neo-Nazi ideologies, ‘youth club’ chapters are proliferating across US

I guess when the playbook has already been written, they can just follow it? Indoctrination through youth clubs.

🚨Jasmine Crockett & Eric Swalwell begged House Judiciary Republicans to vote NO. They offered deals, sweeteners, the whole package. And those damn soulless traitors STILL voted to let Trump exile American citizens.

This isn’t just betrayal—it’s the birth of authoritarian rule.
Sound the alarm.🚨

Let everyone stand up wherever and however we can.

First they came for the Venezuelans.

And I was not a Venezuelan so I did not speak out.

THEN THEY COME FOR THE UNIVERSITIES,

THEN THE PRESS,

THEN THE JUDGES,

then protesters,

Then students,

then the tourists,

then writers,

then the pregnant,

then any citizen who complained.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this. 

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program.

Hello?

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.

This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.

See what DOGE is really about?

An Urgent Supreme Court Order Protecting Migrants Was Built for Speed (Gift Article) In an overnight ruling blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelans, the justices ignored some of their protocols.

The Supreme Court can move quickly when it chooses.

This is beyond ridiculous.

Starmer told to accept Trump ‘free speech’ agenda to win trade deal ‘Good chance’ of agreement, says JD Vance – but a source close to the administration says his concerns over Britain’s hate speech laws ‘are still a red line’

Are we now forcing hate and discrimination onto other countries???

Opinion | The Vibe Shifts Against the Right (Gift Article) People who once found right-wing ideas scintillating are having second thoughts as they watch Trump put those ideas into practice.

I’m not an avid Bible reader, but sometimes I find a given verse speaks to me. This one seems particularly fitting: Psalm 109:8-16

Psalm 109:8-16

W00T!!

Is this who we are?

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

This actually can’t be real, right? Would we really go back to “Separate but equal”?

Elaborate, please.

Brown University Professor and Doctor Is Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order (Gift Article) Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist and Brown University professor who had a valid visa, was expelled in apparent defiance of a court order.

Again, what is the logic here? We have a shortage of doctors with this specialty!! Do they just think “Middle Eastern = bad”?? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

How a Columbia Student Fled to Canada After ICE Came Looking for Her (Gift Article) Ranjani Srinivasan’s student visa was revoked by U.S. immigration authorities. That was just the start of her odyssey.

I do not understand the rationale of revoking a Fulbright scholar’s visa…

Opinion | A Great Unraveling Is Underway (Gift Article) Trump’s foreign policy philosophy is not “containment” or “engagement,” but “smash and grab.”

Where we are…

I don’t recall…in 1984, did Orwell’s Newspeak address teaching about equality being inequitable? enddei.ed.gov

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Illinois’ governor is talking here about mitigating the negative impacts of Trump’s taxes (tariffs). What else can the nation do to fight the hardships Trump is imposing on working families?
