Fascist fucking with the people yet again.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a final rule (FR Doc.

Credulous and uninsightful. She’s an icon of opportunism, and she’s obviously up to something, but the NYT takes her entirely at her word.
“Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.” Read the inside story of how Marjorie Taylor Greene went from zealous Trump cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic: nyti.ms/3Lbzi88

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Why do all official U.S. government social media posts now sound like they were written by bratty 7th-graders trying to mimic Jim Jordan?

Among MANY other things they do, KPFA is home to the yearly #GratefulDead Marathon. @dgans.bsky.social & a giant cast of others do EVERYTHING they can to keep awesome & informative radio alive.

If you’re able, take time this Christmas & shoot KPFA a Grateful end of year “thank you” gift!

#musicsky
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 💛
We came up short this drive, but the love and support meant everything.

If you meant to donate and didn’t get the chance, it’s not too late. Thank-you gifts are available through the end of the year.

KPFA stays independent because of you. Truly grateful.
