Trump promised to bring down prices.

Yet inflation is on the rise β€” especially at the grocery store.

Trump promised no more foreign entanglements.

Yet his regime is unilaterally launching airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean.

Promises made, promises broken.

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern.

Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Does the article have any solutions on this? Because I’ve suffered from this since I was a small child.

Trump extends control over Washington by taking management of Union Station away from Amtrak President Donald Trump’s administration is taking control of Washington's Union Station from Amtrak, marking another federal intervention in the nation's capital.

In a bold move to cement its position, the new junta seized control of the main transport artery between the nation's political capital - which they now control - and its financial one, which they do not. Armed loyalists roam the site demanding to see freedom-of-movement papers. bit.ly/4fWlaKR

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.

Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.

This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.

Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled.

From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

Not just Democrats but progressive Democrats. Centrist Democrats helped get us in this position.

I’m so pissed about this! Luckily I have not signed anything yet. I am financially careful and use the gov tools to estimate my benefits. Yet here they stand ready to reduce the amount by 30% sometime between accepting a deferred retirement plan and actually being retired. What a con!

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more β€œefficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world β€” or for the rest of us?

Trump suggests Palestinians leave Gaza and β€˜we just clean out’ territory US president says he wants people to move to neighbouring nations, after resuming shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel

Such a literal call for genocidal ethnic cleansing that Trump used the words β€œclean out the territory”

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
