UPDATE: Federal court blocks Trump-Vance admin rule that threatened to strip commercial drivers’ licenses from thousands of noncitizens.

This ruling prevents immediate and sweeping harm to communities that rely on experienced, licensed drivers.

Arizona's Hualapai Valley now a 'de facto transfer basin' for out-of-state interests Since 2014, an influx of out-of-state interests have drilled nearly 200 agricultural wells in Mohave County’s Hualapai Valley groundwater basin, straining the aquifer and putting residential water sup...

This is not an aberration, nor is it a titillating tale of pervy old guys.

The oppression of women, including via sexual crimes, is a pillar of the global POLITICAL economy.

It's why power & wealth are distributed as they are: maintaining that distribution requires collective action by many men.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.

People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Not bad for a crew of first-time candidates and local changemakers. Turns out, when you invest in local leadership, you don’t just play the game, you change it.

If billionaires can dream of Mars colonies, eternal life, and a post-democracy world… we can dream of health care, groceries, and a livable planet.

They want to monopolize the future — let’s imagine one without billionaires.

BREAKING: St. Louis City Passes Resolution to Divest from Corporations Complicit in Human Rights Violations In a 10-1-3 vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the U.S. to pass ethical investment resolution ST. LOUIS, MO — This morning, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a groundbreaking resolution, “Ensuring Ethical Investment of City Retirement Funds,” ensuring that city retirement investments align with St. Louis’s commitment to human rights, racial justice, and peace. Backed by the grassroots coalition Not Another Nickel, the resolution was sponsored by Alderman Rasheen Aldridge and co-sponsored by President Megan Green, Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier, and Alderman Shane Cohn. The measure calls on the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System of the City of St. Louis to divest from any companies that profit from—or are complicit in—human rights abuses, including war, occupation, apartheid, or systemic racism. It also directs the city to ensure all investments meet the ethical guidelines established by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). With this vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the United States to adopt a divestment resolution of this kind. The decision comes amid a national wave for justice and ethical governance during this election week. Over 50 people showed up to give public testimony Wednesday in support of the resolution when it was in committee. “This is a historic moment for St. Louis,” said Ray Brown, spokesperson for the Not Another Nickel Campaign and member of Jewish Voice for Peace St. Louis. “We’ve seen our city take a bold stand for justice in calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Now, the city has taken the next step—ensuring our resources are not being used to fund human rights violations anywhere.” This resolution builds on St. Louis’s ongoing commitments to human rights, including the January 2024 Board of Aldermen resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and recent budget vict…

NEW: St. Louis, MO has just passed a resolution to divest from corporations complicit in human rights abuses (including occupation, apartheid, genocide, or racism) within the city and abroad.

Becomes the biggest city in the US to pass such a resolution, according to organizers.

Really loud.

Colonel Terry Virts Announces Run for U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 9th Congressional District Astronaut, veteran, & proven leader under pressure says he’s “staying in the fight to save Texas and America’s future” Houston, TX – Retired Air Force Colonel and NASA astronaut Terry Virts today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 9th Congressional District (TX-09) — following recent redistricting changes that reshaped the political map across the state. Virts, who had been campaigning for the U.S. Senate, said the shift to the House race reflects a renewed focus on defending Texas’ voice in Congress and ensuring common-sense leadership in this pivotal district. “When politicians changed the political maps to favor their power over the power of the people, the maps changed but my mission didn’t,” Virts said. “I’m running to make sure Texans voices are heard–fightring for Texas families, small businesses and the American dream. This campaign is about service, leadership and results — not politics. I’ve spent my life solving complex problems under pressure, and Washington needs more of that right now.”

Astronaut Terry Virts, who'd been seeking the Dem nod for #TXSen, announces he'll run for #TX09 instead. The GOP just gerrymandered that district to make it almost impossible for Dems, prompting Rep. Al Green to say he might run in #TX18 instead.

TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Voters across the country have chosen freedom over fascism - and sent a critical blow to this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.
May these wins strengthen our resolve, power our resistance, and turbo charge our defiance.
