Alligator Atrocity An American concentration camp became operational last week, and it’s already a human rights nightmare.

While bombing Iran is bad for Trump’s poll numbers, starting a war and creating chaos is good for Trump as an authoritarian. Authoritarians exploit chaos to claim emergency powers, deploy the military domestically, and undermine free and fair elections.

These attacks must be viewed from this lens.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

$1 billion in storm damage; financial donations 'badly needed,' St. Louis mayor says St. Louisans, particularly in north city, were facing the daunting task of recovery from the storm's devastation, many without power and few resources.

One of the largest metropolitan cities is having to beg for donations because FEMA is non-existent, thanks to Trump who's busy golfing today.

Hurricane season starts next week.

We Need to Talk About This Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was β€œdecorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

No, you’re not crazy.

They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

Education Department stops $1 billion in funding for school mental health Congress created the grants in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The goal was to help schools hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.

It’s not the guns it’s a mental health issue they said

This letter to the Democratic Party expresses what many of us have asked of our representative to fight against fascism. And it includes the plan to do so.
