After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

They can’t win through their disastrous policies, so they try to win via disenfranchisement. Pathetic and disgusting.
Only citizens can & do vote in the United States. Yet that simple fact isn't stopping Congress from proposing the SAVE Act, which would erect yet another barrier to the ballot for millions of Americans, predominantly those from lower-income & marginalized communities. www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...
Women’s Equality Day 2025, The SAVE Act And Protecting Voting Rights
Why Women's Equality Day is more important than ever, modern-day barriers to voting rights, and why passing the SAVE Act will be a barrier for millions of women to vote.

Gus Speth: "I used to think that top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that 30 years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy...”

Rather than admit their mistake and let this poor man go home to his family, they double down and villainize him for absolutely no reason but wounded pride and unadulterated cruelty.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

I don’t care who is on the Epstein list from a political perspective, we just need to know. We deserve to know the names of those in public service that are participating in or covering up the abuse of girls and women. And there needs to be consequences whether you like their politics or not.

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

Perhaps the GOP should do something crazy like, I don’t know, actually negotiating a bipartisan bill that doesn’t fuck over the working class to further enrich people who couldn’t spend all their money in 10 generations 🤷🏻♀️
Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate Parliamentarian, has flagged a growing list of provisions that would be prohibited under the Byrd Rule.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.
