Thank you, and I appreciated your honesty and standing up for what is right. It is so disheartening to see what is happening, and it is more important than ever that journalists and reporters write about what is going on.

The criminalizing of protest and dissent has a long history in America The Trump administration is accusing protesters of ‘domestic terrorism’ but this brazen tactic is as old as the country itself

Our constitutional right to free speech and peaceful protest is under attack.
If we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more.

Inside the resistance with Will Stancil "It's something I could do to keep them from stealing my neighbors."

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

If only people had paid closer attention to those warning us that the means to challenging every election result they don't agree with has already been put into place in many states by the GOP.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power.

Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

A Letter to Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post Dear Jeff Bezos and the leadership team of The Washington Post...

An open letter Jeff Bezos and Washington Post leadership:

Why California’s snowpack is melting even after a wet start to winter California got the storms early, but persistent winter warmth is melting the snowpack faster than it can rebuild.

Black-and-white photograph of Dr. Helen Taussig, an older woman with short, wavy gray hair, wearing cat-eye glasses, a pearl necklace, and a white medical coat over a dark blouse. She stands in a clinical setting, holding up a large chest X-ray film to the light with her left hand, examining it closely with a thoughtful, focused expression as she looks slightly upward and to the side. Behind her, multiple other X-ray images of torsos and rib cages are displayed on a viewing box or light panels, illuminating the scene.

Cardiologist Dr. Helen Taussig founded the field of pediatric cardiology.

Co-developed the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt in 1944. This groundbreaking surgical procedure treated "blue baby syndrome" saving thousands of infants who previously had no treatment option.

Immigrant Safety Act: Bill to ban immigrant detention in New Mexico heads to governor's desk "If the bill becomes law — it'll make it a crime for these counties, any county, any local government to contract with ICE to house ICE detainees," KOAT legal expert John Day said.

Really proud of New Mexico!

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

THE POWER OF THE INEVITABLE A Blue Tsunami is coming, and the only thing that can stop it is a failure to communicate

📌Goddamn I'm sick and tired of the doom and gloom.

📌We're winning, will keep on winning, and will win BIG in November.

📌We ALL could stand to hear a helluva lot more about that instead of what Stupid Putin is saying and doing while he drools in his jello.

📌Because that ain't helpin'.

🗞️In their meaty story announcing the WAPO layoffs, the NYT did not give ONE mention to Bezos bending his fat, little knee at Trump's fat, little feet as the reason.

🗞️This is like reporting on a five-alarm fire and failing to mention the arsonist.

🗞️Our legacy media has completely failed us.

Support!

📌So the Republicans have the Executive, the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court, but Democrats cheat in elections so they need to be federalized.

That’s some nuclear-powered fascist GOP propaganda right there …

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Trump is fucking scared. He knows he is losing the midterms and will face 2 years of hell and possibly prison.

Release The Epstein Files.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."
