James Van Der Beek's passing shines a light on the healthcare crisis in this country. Healthcare is a human right — and in the richest country on Earth, forcing families into debt while cutting coverage for millions isn't complicated policy, it's a moral failure.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.
It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.
Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

I hope people are paying attention to what ICE is up to now. They are going to have a show of force in every state before the midterms.

Please don’t give up, Mia. We need everyone with a stake to stay in this fight. You obviously care, numbness is an early symptom of damage to the nervous system. Just rest a bit and rejoin us. American rights and democracy cannot be ceded due to victim fatigue!

NY politicians defiantly raised a 🏳️🌈 at the Stonewall National Monument, rebuking the Trump regime.
Until a few days ago, the flag had flown for several years in a park across from Stonewall Inn, the gay bar where a 1969 raid sparked an uprising and helped catalyze the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Read an article just now claiming Redding, CA was “rural” and …no?
It has almost 100,000 residents and a commercial airport.
Sure it’s surrounded by rural areas, but the city is decent sized and right on I-5.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular.
It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
