As an LGBTQ+ person, I'm sick of being lumped in with my white oppressors. Still, I'll share with folks of color that plenty of progressive whites are estranged from MAGA family members. Don't count on them to be able to change minds and hearts. MAGA is a cult.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

'Hunger has a long memory': Ex-Trump lawyer bashes president's 'gnawing violence' President Donald Trump is creating a Marie Antoinette-like problem for Republicans by refusing to provide additional funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during the government shutdown, even though he used reserve funds to pay military salaries, one of the president's former law...

Mystery solved. Trump backer Timothy Mellon has been identified as the donor who provided $130 million to cover U.S. troop pay during the government shutdown.

We were just notified that cell-site simulators were used during the No Kings protests in several cities. Fortunately, we planned for this. Portland, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago were among the targeted locations. If you’re attending protests, please remember to follow protocol.

Conservative strategist Tim Miller called out Fox News on Saturday for purportedly ignoring "a story about a US military veteran getting imprisoned for 3 days by the government.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Will the Supreme Court revisit its ruling on same-sex marriage? In 2015, shortly after the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, a local county clerk from Kentucky made national headlines when she refused […]

Justice Alito swears he isn’t trying to overturn marriage equality, while the Supreme Court just so happens to be looking at a case that could do exactly that. Kind of like how Trump totally had no clue about Project 2025, right? 🙄

Robert Reich The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs

Trump says he now wants to use revenue from his tariffs to bail out American farmers — who are struggling because of the trade war sparked by his tariffs.

If this sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened in Trump's first term. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?feature=shared

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This erasure and censorship has to stop.

My father and the SOBs Ed Reich hated bullies.

JD Vance's threat to use the power of government to attack his political opponents under the pretext of national security is nothing new.

Decades ago, my father and I watched the infamous Joe McCarthy do the same thing.

Thank you for that article.

According to a Yale/Florida State University study, we lose an estimated 68,000 people a year due to no coverage.

I haven't found data on how many people die due to denial of paid-for coverage, we need to be tracking that.

ICE Goes Undercover in Memphis An exclusive first look at their latest operation.

Kristi Noem defended her department’s expenditure of $85,000 to outfit the agents in sequined jumpsuits, arguing that such a disguise was necessary for ICE to blend into the population inconspicuously.

Trump Vows to Attack Antifa as Soon as it Exists

Declaring that a private business refusing to print a vigil poster for the President's friend is a civil rights violation is an interesting legal argument. Brings to mind Colorado cases Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.

Dems should have suspended the rules on numerous occasions to do the right thing for the American people.

Threat in Your Medicine Cabinet: The FDA’s Gamble on America’s Drugs A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

The AI voice is having trouble making the story intelligible. And what does it mean to “light up” or he “lit up” someone?

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18, IN

Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade.

As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on October 18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say 👑👑 #NOKINGS 👑👑

Robert Reich How Workers Can Reclaim Power From Bezos & Billionaires | Robert Reich

America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers.

Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared

It took a federal judge to step in and block the deportation, blasting the midnight raid tactics as a betrayal of due process and human dignity.

Maybe Border Patrol should focus on fighting fires. After all, the military is busy in D.C. spreading mulch.
