The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

First on Democracy Docket: DOJ's new top voting lawyer previously worked for a prominent anti-voting legal group and has appeared with Cleta Mitchell. Her appointment highlights the Trump DOJ's sharp shift from protecting voting rights to restricting them.

Jonathan Joss, best known for voicing John Redcorn on "King of the Hill" was MURDERED today as a result of a homophobic hate crime in San Antonio. He and his husband tried to tell law enforcement for YEARS about the hate. They also killed their dog and burned their home down.

I’m glad Harvard is showing some spine and fighting back.
At the same time I can’t help but think about how the attacks came first for Black academic leaders like Claudine Gay, and Black/African students who were criminalized for protest.

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.
Right. The most salient point is that he could have done this over the CR, but now he's just using the energy of the filibuster without its power.

It’s devastating to watch the genocide and decimation of Gaza with every Al Jazeera headline. This last election will require historians, decades from now, to capture how consequential and deadly it and the impact of informed apathy truly was. As a 92 %er, Im not delighted to watch it all burn. 💔
