WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

DOJ policy provides that prosecutors should seek charges only when “the admissible evidence will probably be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction.” Not even even a close call here. What an embarrassment.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.

Unimaginable cruelty.

Avelo Airlines to end deportation flights from Mesa Gateway Airport Avelo Airlines says it will close its Mesa Gateway Airport base in the East Valley and end its deportation-flight work for DHS/ICE.

🙌🏽 Our voices made a difference! Avelo Airlines will end deportation flights with DHS. We protested and spoke out because no one should profit from cruelty.

Time for GlobalX Air, Eastern Airlines, and Omni Air International to follow suit. #DeICEflights

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

South Florida immigrants on cusp of citizenship told to wait as DHS changes policy The cancellations, confirmed by multiple immigration attorneys, came after the Trump administration paused immigration from 19 nations and froze all asylum claims.

South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.

They want to make an example of David Huerta to scare organizers, immigrants, workers, and politicians into silence. But the example he sets is courage – and we stand united in solidarity for #JusticeForDavid

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

Joyce is one of the true warriors of this present time; indefatigable on her substack, on her podcast, on TV, and in her commitment to the belief that democracy depends on ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. Today is a great day to thank her for showing up for the rest of us, every day.

Who cooks up this stuff? Can they keep you from your home? Your job?

Photo shows thousands of peaceful No Kings protesters on Saturday, October 18th; credit to our own Beavercreek Democratic Precinct Captain Steve Donaldson for this incredible shot of Dayton’s Courthouse Square. No Kings was a wonderful peaceful gathering in support of core American values: preserving democracy, restoring the impartial rule of law, rebuilding our damaged international relations, funding American healthcare, rescinding illegal punitive federal import taxes, restraining political violence being instigated by ICE, and respecting innocent foreigners. We can't stop here, though. Many of your neighbors are working hard day after day to secure our democracy locally, but we NEED FAR MORE HELP! 🏳️‍ Let this event propel you to the next step - take regular action with an organized group. Like us! 😎 Message us at greeneohdems@gmail.com to get started now. ❤️💪🇺🇲 #greenecountydems #OhioPolitics #wearetheoneswevebeenwaitingfor #ClassWarfare #nokings #nowwhat

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
