Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

Can climate comedy still work? This offshore wind ad suggests it can. The satirical video starring Samuel L. Jackson pokes fun at offshore wind disinformation right as the Trump administration is targeting both comedy and…

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

Sadly, entirely true.

We’ve got people who have put themselves above the law, and alleged law enforcers who can’t be trusted with the law.

This is how you lose the rule of law.

And thereby how you lose democracy.

Chronic underestimators, the IEA calls solar #1 by 2033β€”but they’ve never kept up with reality. πŸš€ With 2025 smashing records & storage racing ahead, coal could be dethroned by 2027–28, maybe sooner.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports.

But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

They shout β€œAmerica first” but are always putting Americans last.

Cutting SNAP and food assistance doesn’t make children healthy. You can’t talk about making America healthy again while taking food out of their mouths

We have noticed a recent uptick in false social media posts regarding Chicago, including misleading videos, old videos reposted as new, and unfounded rumors.

Everything feels urgent, but we ask people to take an extra minute to double check information and avoid sowing confusion.
