In rural America, public radio saves lives In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?

In remote Alaska, public radio stations like KYUK provide lifesaving information during natural disasters.

But Trump cut funds for public media, and that could mean deadly consequences for the rural community.

DC’s homeless have nowhere to go. Trump might send them to jail. The president's crackdown is causing fear and uncertainty among the city's unhoused and their advocates.

Trump's raids on DC's homeless encampments are starting tonight, although most of these people have nowhere else to go.

“In DC, there are, right now, 30 open shelter beds for men and 30 open shelter beds for women… So for all intents and purposes, there’s nowhere else for people to go.”

It's time to ban "right turn on red" The dangerous maneuver is allowed thanks to a flawed idea about emissions from the 1970s. We don't need it.

Controversial opinion time: ban right on red.

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know them And justices don’t want you to notice.

“It would be an earthquake in politics and make our legislative bodies whiter.”

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Members of Congress should take note.

Yesterday (Saturday, 4/19), I went to the #HandsOff protest outside the White House organized by ANSWER.

Their first speaker was a DC teacher and I appreciate that they focused on local impacts.

Too often, people forget that DC is a vibrant city of 700,000 with no representation in Congress.

The reason It’s necessary to locate expertise…. He’s literally an idiot cosplaying in the one field you can’t fake expertise

CALL NOW: Tell Your Senator to Vote NO on Legislation Silencing Americans

To ensure fair elections in 2026, we must stop the GOP’s voter suppression bill in the Senate. House Republicans have passed legislation that would restrict access to the ballot & end online and mail-in voter registration. Tell your senators to protect voting rights by rejecting this dangerous bill.

Try not to laugh.

What in the Jerry Springer nation is happening 💀

In all my gen X years, I’ve never seen an 🇺🇸 president publicly act like such petulant petty bitch ass bully publicly

& the VP is useless at diplomacy, a steaming pile of over educated garbage

5 small things you can do that will help later:

Make a list of nearby places/activities that expose you to beauty. Put it somewhere easy to see.

Grab some incense/herb bundles...

A tweet by Veronica Sixsmith reads: "The Carter Center posted some beautiful photos from President Carter's state funeral. I would like to commend the photographer of this shot for finding the perfect angle here. The right-hand column is doing the Lord's work." Below the tweet is a photo of previous and current presidents and their spouses in attendance at the funeral. There is a column blocking Donald Trump.

Give this photographer a bonus.

Preparing for the next four years. Here is a practical guide for coping with and getting through Trump 2.0.

Post by Charlotte Clymer: Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Look to community. Look to friends and family who stood with us and who suffer the grief of this loss with us. In their company find comfort. And when you are ready to stand up and fight, I will be with you, too.

We will prevail. For the light always defeats the darkness. /end

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.

“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5

… very last breath. I ask you to join me in that fight. It is a noble one. It is a worthy one. And it is one we fight on behalf not just of ourselves, but of generations to come.

When you are my age, you will be able to look back upon this time and be proud of what you did, what you stood for. /4

…being undocumented. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past. We can learn from them. I know it feels bleak out there. I know it feels hopeless. But I am living proof that out of that darkness can rise great hope and optimism.

I will fight for the principles of this country until my /3

But we did not give up on this country. We rebuilt our lives, and we worked to ensure that something like this never happened again in America.

Now, I fear there are echoes from that dark chapter of our history. They are speaking once again of camps to hold people, this time for the crime of /2

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
