Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy.
No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.

What if a viral trend supported actual artists?? Here’s my version of a Chicago Cyclist action figure, drawn by one of our lovely Canadian neighbors. Follow her IG @hialyssacomics and support her Etsy shop!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Think about this for five seconds. Would America be richer if 100 percent of all American cars were built domestically but the rest of the free world diversified away from US software and financial services? Would you trade trillion dollar companies for billion dollar companies? That's the trade!

Way to go, West Virginia
West Virginia has banned foods containing most artificial food dyes and two preservatives, citing their potential health risks. It's the first state in the U.S. to ban virtually all artificial dyes from foods sold statewide.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Whenever anti-trans panic gets whipped up, more of these stories happen.
Walmart called the police on a cis-woman using the women's bathroom.
Even after proving she's a woman, "one deputy continued to question her appearance, insisting she 'looked like a man.'"

What would a TV ad promoting alternatives to driving look like? What if people who love cycling and progressive transportation reclaimed ideas like freedom, independence and even patriotism? We decided to give it a shot. Check out our new video, "America, It's Just Like Riding a Bike."

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:
