A cancer vaccine just prevented aggressive tumors in mice at UMass Amherst A breakthrough like this should change everything but in an America run by anti-science and profit-driven health system the real question is whether the people who paid for it will ever see it www.facebook.com/share/p/16J5...

Maine just fired the first real shot at a system built to let billionaires buy our elections. Their $5K cap on super PAC donations forces the very ruling that created unlimited money onto the path of the Supreme Court One state just cracked the foundation. Read more:

Birthright citizenship was written in blood after a nation tore itself apart. Now a SCOTUS built to roll back Reconstruction is poised to make citizenship conditional turning citizens into subjects This is not about borders. Itโ€™s about the republic itself.

Trumpโ€™s 2025 security strategy quietly reclassifies Europe from ally to leverage. It normalizes interference, weakens NATO, turns Ukraine into a bargaining chip, and trades the postwar order for short-term power. The cost will land on ordinary Americans.

A U.S. citizen pulled from her car by masked ICE in daylight. No cause. No charges. Just fear as policy. Under Trumpโ€™s second term, cruelty isnโ€™t drifting-itโ€™s accelerating. When does documentation become complicity?

Gisรจle Halimi put the state on trial-exposing torture in Algeria, defending a raped teen in the Bobigny abortion case, and proving that illegal orders are never a defense. History records obedience, but it moves only when unjust law is challenged. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17Qg...

The GOP exits arenโ€™t about burnout anymore. Lawmakers are leaving, lining up exits, even facing death threats for crossing the line. When intimidation becomes enforcement and loyalty replaces law, power hollows out. This is what collapse looks like. Read more:

โ€œAffordability is a Democratic con," he says, as a mother grips milk, eggs, and a debit card she knows may decline. Inflation cooled. Profits didnโ€™t. Prices stayed high by design. This isnโ€™t economics. Itโ€™s extraction, protected by power. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/16WB...

Pete Hegseth once said the military must refuse unlawful orders. Now, as Secretary of War, he punishes that truth as โ€œseditionโ€ while tied to the โ€œDouble Tapโ€ strike under war-crimes scrutiny. The law didnโ€™t change. The allegiance did.

Palantir isnโ€™t just a tech company. Itโ€™s the architecture of a new power shift. With EO 14243, federal data is being fused, automated, and outsourced to billionaires who reject democracy itself.

In America, illness is no longer just medical. Itโ€™s financial, moralized, and politically engineered. We donโ€™t ration care by need. We ration it by income. The Price of Being Alive in America, asks what kind of country accepts that. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1DPj...

Pull back the curtain and the illusion collapses. The loudest โ€œAmerica Firstโ€ voices online are not always American at all.

The Trump administration just reclassified entire care-economy fields - nursing, teachers, speech therapy, PT, OT, audiology - as โ€œnonprofessional.โ€ This isnโ€™t policy. Itโ€™s sabotage. A nation that devalues its caregivers is a nation preparing for collapse. www.facebook.com/share/p/1BFZ...

DOGE didnโ€™t die. It was buried. And beneath the headstone lies every lie Musk and Trump sold America, every service they gutted every child lost when USAID food lines went dark.

A prosecutor admitted the Comey indictment was never shown to the grand jury. Not flawed. Fake. A forged voice of the People. This is authoritarianism in plain sight. If a president can invent an indictment for him, he can invent one for anyone. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1C6E...

Trump rolls out the red carpet for MBS, a man the CIA says ordered a journalistโ€™s murder, yet the GOP calls Zohran Mamdani - a democratically elected mayor and son of refugees - the real threat.

Mary Bruce asked the questions power wanted to avoid. Trump lashed out, mocked her, and then called for ABCโ€™s broadcast license to be revoked. Courage in journalism is still alive, and the backlash proved exactly why those questions had to be asked. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bvh...

Megyn Kelly did more than excuse predators. She made herself useful to the wealthy men who relied on Epstein to supply and silence victims. When people start grading which children count as victims, the nation is already in collapse. A child is a child. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/17RS...

The sudden Trump reversal on the Epstein files is not courage. It is calculation. For nearly a year, his DOJ buried evidence, stalled Congress, and fought transparency at every turn. Now that the House has the votes, he pretends he has โ€œnothing to hide.โ€
