Preying on children. The "pro-life" party.
ICE.
The Epstein Files.
Gender-Affirming Care.
SNAP.
USAid.

Republicans are preying on children.

The rest of us need to defeat them.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said.

Kristi Noem claimed antifa is “just as dangerous” as Hamas and ISIS. But the facts don’t agree. Antifa isn’t an organization: it’s a loose movement with no membership or centralized funding. “Comparing these groups is like comparing apples and bricks,” says a social-movements expert.
Why the Trump administration’s comparison of antifa to violent terrorist groups doesn’t track
Kristi Noem’s claim that antifa is like the Islamic State group blurs the line between protest and terrorism – a political move unsupported by evidence.

The “ president “ plans to send federal monitors to CA polling places. I’m worried this could intimidate Black, Brown, and marginalized voters. Unfortunately it’s likely he will be sending ICE to those communities polling places. 866‑OUR‑VOTE. Report intimidation to your local elections office.

PSA: it’s time to get your flu shot.

New flu vaccines are available for the 2025-2026 season, targeting three main virus strains. It's important to remember that the virus changes every year, making annual vaccination an important part of staying healthy. buff.ly/v2KTr6y

Flu season has arrived – and so have updated flu vaccines
Despite some confusion around changing vaccine guidelines, the CDC still recommends an annual flu shot for everyone 6 months and older.
