Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Okay, anyone else that is watching #SummerIturnedPretty Season 3? Aging Belly up to 21 instead of 18/19 has fallen flat for me where her parents are concerned. I get being upset if your 18yo is getting married, but 21? After 3 years together? It now feels like such a forced plot driver.

This needs to end with: term limits in congress, no more lobbyists, a thorough review of our Supreme Court representatives and their actions, and legislation up to the EYEBALLS so this can never happen again. Y'know. After we get THIS crew in jail for treason.

almost zero chance the man is still alive but... this is just proof that the administration plans to permanently disappear people into concentration camps. No due process. No retrieval. Just outright murder.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

"Do you know one thing I never did to cope or in response to my autism? Repeatedly fire off a Nazi Roman salute." An incredible piece from The Big Picture that doesn’t hold back.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls on Pete Hegseth to resign:

"Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Keep going!!!

America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State For most people, the courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.

"...the Nazi regime managed to keep on track a capitalist economy governed by stable laws—and maintain a day-to-day normalcy for many of its citizens—while at the same time establishing a domain of lawlessness and state violence to realize its terrible vision of ethno-nationalism."

The entire thread is like this, nazis asking for a summary of their posts, the AI says "Well it sure as shit looks like you're a nazi", then they argue with each response and it just goes into more detail why they're nazis

Hey, it's already Wednesday! You know what else is today? Another good day to say "NO KINGS HERE". Just in case... y'know... we need to remind anyone.

Chants of “Tax the rich!” resonated at Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall in Nebraska’s deep-red 1st congressional district.

Today, protesters held demonstrations both outside Flood’s office and outside the town hall.

This is so embarrassing

He is bought and paid for. He is telling you what his corporate donors/employers want him to say.

Very brave. I only represent Republicans, not all Americans in my district. Hopefully those independent voters will let him know how they feel about this when he runs for Senate.

Make America more openly racist again. 😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️

Also why we don’t teach labor history in this country, so people make the same early mistakes over and over again

We’re killing millions of people to end a program most people never heard of for a (at best) marginal financial benefit we will never see to appease a billionaire that doesn’t care about anyone

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.

Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words

The news is compromised.
We're starting to boil over.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Farmers depend on climate data. They're suing the USDA for deleting it. Growing food is a precarious business, and losing access to key information makes it worse.

Farmers Are Suing USDA To Republish Climate-Related Web Pages

“Farmers are on the front lines of climate change. Purging climate change web pages doesn’t make climate change go away. It just makes it harder for farmers to adapt.”
