Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Vaccines will protect us against all sorts of ailments but who will protect us from RFK Jr and his quackery?

I don't understand: WHY are consumers saddled with paying higher rates for electricity and water when a data center comes to town? Why aren't these data center zillionaire owners paying the full cost? No really, I don't get it.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Donald J. Trump is a moron.
He is legitimately stupid 🙄
And Canadians who refuse to look for other markets for their products covered under CUSMA (USMCA) are also being stupid.
Trump has to bail out his own farmers & is going to add more tariffs on potash...Because he is an idiot.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
