Unproven Medical Advice 2m ago In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies.

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics.

This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

Yay!!

Citizens being assaulted, arrested, and sent to jails. Military-style sweeps of Hispanic neighborhoods. This is what Congress just gave President Trump $150 billion to do to Americans in every state. www.aclusocal.org/sites/defaul...

ICE killed a farm worker who was just doing their job. Murdered.

Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

the American gestapo, now with more money and power than ever, is coming to your town to terrorize your community. what are you going to do about it?

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

I’m as tired of saying it as you are of hearing it, but this is unambiguously Nazi shit

How a Group of Lesbians Provided Lifesaving Care During the AIDS Crisis Amid abandonment and fear surrounding the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, a group of lesbians became a lifeline for AIDS patients.

Between 1983 and 1992, the Blood Sisters hosted 12 blood drives, demonstrating sustained commitment for nearly a decade.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. 

They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. 

Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Trump and Republicans are about to jack up energy costs on families across the country if they pass their big bill, which will also devastate the clean energy industry that has created thousands of jobs in Arizona. That only helps China and hurts American families and workers.
