Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?

Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas Houseβ€”decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselvesβ€”they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

It β€œechoes”??? It blatantly IS an authoritarian move.

The NYT is unwilling to tell the unvarnished truth.

Enough of the both-sides-ism. As he silences media and educational institutions (and the BLS commissioner), you need to sound the alarm.

We’re in dangerous times.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration, for now, to strip protections from nearly 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants who were shielded from deportation under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

This is absolute fascist bullshit and these people should be ashamed of going after this woman but they have no shame because they have no humanity

My grandson loves Miss Rachel. She’s so positive and kind. This is ridiculous and hateful, as unfortunately so much current policy seems to be.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.
