BREAKING: Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said Loving v. Virginia—legalizing interracial marriage—should have been left to individual states. That’s not misunderstanding, it’s blatant racism. Now he’s “walking it back.” We see your game, Gov. Watch this space, don’t let anyone forget.

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

Oversight is not optional. We will not stand by while Trump shreds the constitution, treats people with cruelty and spreads fear across the nation. I will not back away from this fight.

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now.
A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP.
There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

So the CDC, headed up by RFKjr, will be conducting yet another study on the correlation of autism and vaccines.
Now, if you think to yourself, but we already paid for that study. You would be correct.
It was found credible that vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
Yet here we are. Again.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
