Stop saying “DEI” or “equity-related.”
Stop using the words they choose to mask their vile racist ideology with the language of those they hate.
Say they want to remove any books that speak to the lives of anyone who isn’t white, straight, Christian, or male.
Name the hate. Make them own it.

A new memo gives the National Park Service two weeks to review bookstores for “equity-related” content for removal.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Progressive leaders really need to seize this moment to spell out how all of this is not just a failure of the Trump administration specifically, but of conservative governance as a whole. This is *what they want.* This is *what their vision looks like.*

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.
These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
