The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

A wise administration wouldn’t start another war in the Middle East.

A competent administration wouldn’t bomb an elementary school full of children on day 1 of the war they started.

They are neither.

U.S. Reps Ilhan Omar (D-MN) (R) and Angie Craig (D-MN) speak to press after conducting oversight at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St Paul, Minnesota. The two congressional representatives from Minnesota were touring the facility after being denied access last month. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images)

Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived — this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"

Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Across the country, the freedom to read is under attack.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

Donald Trump’s Disingenuous Promise to Champion Free Speech It is Donald Trump’s systematic campaign to stamp out dissent and punish those who disagree with him that will be remembered as among the most singularly un-American aspects of his disruptive tenure.

The First Amendment has protected Donald Trump several times. “But it is now clear that he sees the Constitution as something that applies only to those who agree with him,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mTP8wl

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Prosecutors fail to secure indictment against 6 Dem lawmakers A grand jury rejected the case against the lawmakers involved in a video urging military members to refuse illegal orders.

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up

This made me ugly cry 😭

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.

And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.

Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

FBI raids home of Washington Post reporter in ‘highly unusual and aggressive’ move Agents searched Hannah Natanson’s Virginia home and seized devices in inquiry tied to a classified materials case

@hannahnatanson.bsky.social is a truthful, principled, courageous journalist in the tradition of Woodward & Bernstein. Her extensive coverage of the surge in book banning has helped me and other librarians defend intellectual freedom. For her to be targeted by this administration is no accident.
