Almost never or never? How about never? Name another time
Pollster: Trump's net approval rating among voters under the age of 30 is going into a deep, dark black hole. Look at that, -46. That is a shift on the net approval of 56 points in the wrong direction since February. We almost never see drops this big, this quickly.

I am begging reporters to heed @jessicacalarco.com's warning here. There is too much equivocation even in articles that highlight RFK Jr's anti-vaccine zealotry. These articles juxtapose a claim he offers, with "other experts say." It is a pernicious tic of mainstream journalism and has to stop.
It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Corporate Media has decided that it is fine for Republicans to trash Democratic Elite & Voters, to the encourage hate & violence against them, but if a Democrat says anything that can be misconstrued as negative towards Republican Elite or Voters it they should be destroyed.

There have been at least 19 murders in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard here in August. One was the murder of a Guard soldier less than a week ago.

The fact that a *healthcare company* expects a woman who just delivered a baby at TWENTY-SIX WEEKS to work from the L&D ward on her laptop is a great illustration of why we have such shit maternal and infant mortality.

This is happening across the entire country; prosecutions are down because federal agents are rounding up migrants instead.
NEW: President Trump has repeatedly threatened to bring federal agents, or even soldiers, to San Francisco to battle crime. His administration has actually done the opposite, quietly taking federal law enforcement away from the city to do immigration work instead.

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

Impeachment won't be the answer until you have the votes to convict and remove. On top of that though when he doesn't get convicted he looks better in the public's eyes because they're lazy. They take not having the votes to convict as him being innocent. It doesn't help us. It helps him and them.
