@thanedar.house.gov, thank you for being willing to stand up for human rights, even if some of your party isn’t willing to stand beside you.

This is the kind of leadership we’re looking for - Representatives that will hold Trump’s regime responsible for actual murder.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

And this still won't be enough. The fact they let trans folks be volunteers will still attract attacks from the gender critical crowd. They will not stop until they've pushed all trans people out of society entirely.

I wonder if knowledge of the double tap prompted the six members of congress to make that ad, and that's what made Trump and Hegseth so angry about it.

To note just one of the many problems with this idea, there are multiple that countries do not permit you to relinquish citizenship — and some of those countries also have jus sanguinis laws that make someone a citizen even if they were born in the U.S. and never left.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Anti-vaxxers distort science to confuse followers about what “gold-standard” actually means in order to disguise propaganda as research.

That’s how you arrive here.

Putin is letting his soldiers HUNT Ukrainians in Kherson with drones — a genocidal human safari.

Meanwhile, Trump wants to give Russia control of Kherson, so that they can finish the job.

His administration supports genocide, from Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan to immigrants & trans people in the US
This is Alina and Vladyslav. Russia murdered them yesterday in their sick human safari in Kherson.

She was 34. He was only 6.

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal.

Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

Well-reported, this story is quite revealing.

It seems that RFK, Jr. may be genuinely trying to evaluate scientific evidence, but he cherry-picks evidence to support his preconceived views and dismisses other evidence as corrupt.

NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
