A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

It is the GUNS.

The GAO probe found that even though the FDA has long been empowered to force manufacturers to pull defective devices from the market, the agency has only done so four times.

The last time was in 1992.
The FDA Rarely Forces Manufacturers to Recall Dangerous Medical Devices, Watchdog Report Finds
Lawmakers requested the report after a 2023 ProPublica and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investigation revealed that the FDA had received hundreds of complaints over many years about defective breathing…

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.

One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:

The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

The endgame of authoritarian regimes is to no longer need popular approval. So don't be too sanguine about Trump's plummeting popularity.

Is Trump getting weaker, or is the authoritarian danger increasing? Yes.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

This isn’t about drugs.
It’s not about fentanyl.
It’s not about “security.”

Venezuela doesn’t produce cocaine or fentanyl.

It does sit on the world’s largest oil reserves.

Follow the motive. Not the talking points.

Lies cost lives.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

On the eve of the Sandy Hook anniversary, there has been another campus shooting. This time at Brown University.

To the people in power: this is your legacy.

Thirteen years. Thirteen years of dead children, traumatized students, shattered families — while you stall, deflect, and do nothing.

ICE snatched a human rights hero.

Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices.

On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

It's probably a pipe dream, but I hope that the language Trump uses (especially when talking to or about women) doesn't just become an accepted thing in political discourse in our country.

Raise your sons to be better than that.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.
