No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Chills…

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Russell Vought's sick little power trip will also hurt GOPers. One project he's cutting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, which spans Oregon, Washington, and...Montana. The state's GOP governor has hailed it for creating "good-paying Montana jobs." Oops.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Like the pattern.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We American citizens are paying for our own oppression. We are paying our oppressors' salaries. We are paying for the military to come into our own cities and treat us like enemy combatants. This is just insane.

"After his release, the 79 year old U.S. citizen was treated at a local hospital for multiple broken ribs, a dislocated elbow..."

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

ESCAPE FROM POLITICS...

... Thank goodness that there are artists to raise us up !

Lovely colors!

It's Time to Cut Ties With Trump Supporters I really hate this.

If they're still with him, they're beyond reach.

Put your time and energy into people who still have working empathy and critical thinking skills.

Check in with your friends who are mothers of children with autism. They are not ok.

If you didn’t know, Mehmet Oz has a financial stake in the company iHerb which sells: folinic acid supplements (folinic acid = leucovorin)

The lies about Tylenol, autism, and this “treatment” are ALL part of their grift.

The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.

We know that plastics are invading our lives—our food, our water, even our bloodstreams.

Now we know that chemicals in plastics are linked to infertility and premature birth.
