"DOJ Asked Texas to Engage in Unlawful Racial Gerrymandering," Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote for the 2-1 majority. Texas is appealing to the Supreme Court.

My connection to Catalonia runs deep—my family is from there, I was born near Barcelona, and the conflict impacted my loved ones and childhood friends. Later, I shifted my focus back to Palestine, driven by the urgent need to expose the genocide and atrocities committed by Israel to the world.

Montgomery Bell state park was hit with storm damage leading to several felled trees and closure of park trails. However, the Lodge is open, the road accessing the lodge (via highway 70) is open, AmRen is still approaching, and we will still be there! Stay tuned for a protest schedule.

The search for Gaza's missing
Over 11,000 Palestinians have disappeared since Oct. 7. Relatives don't know if they're dead or alive, under rubble or in prison.

The admin wants all social safety nets gone and especially hates the ACA, Medicare & Medicaid, and programs like SNAP. They want everything privatized or just not to exist. And they've demonstrated repeatedly they won't let anything stop them.

Can we also look at women who died or whose health was ruined because failed pregnancies were made to continue?
Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.
