How about no more war? How about not threatening a nation's sovereignty?
BREAKING: The Senate has voted to advance the Venezuela war powers resolution. The resolution would outlaw U.S. military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval.

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Kinda rings hollow that the same people condemning political violence because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk have been cheering on the mass starvation and slaughter of children in Gaza for years

Every time this man talks, he's signing and digging his own political grave.
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well."
CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard?
JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I don't know him well.

Western politicians really haven't figured out that the general population is disgusted at the idea of supporting anyone who funds or arms Israel.
Every morning we log on to hundreds more dead malnourished or tortured children and the pitch is that it keeps us safer. Neoliberal imperialism is death.

Elon Musk is going to try to rebrand as a centrist now and will only be able to do so if everyone just ignores his past year of not only openly being a nazi but funding and endorsing every extreme far right political party in Europe

It's because 35 years ago the WHO declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder

May 17th was chosen to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) because it was that day in 1990 that the World Health Organization made the decision .....

I just got the official email from the NSF about the drastic cuts and I think the correct translation is "if you are a young researcher who still wants to do science strongly consider leaving the United States if you can." which, really, is not an ideal message to be sending.

People need to start realizing that all this struggle to return to "normal", when that meant the West exploiting the global south while justifying imperial genocide of Palestinians as necessary.
The world shouldn't go back to neoliberalism, it got us here. We need to build something better.

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

These idiots would rather listen to anybody but professional medical doctors who are experts in this field and know what they're talking about.
Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, near the measles outbreak’s epicenter, is now treating patients who have abnormal liver function on lab tests, a sign that they’ve taken too much vitamin A thanks to RFK Jr. pushing it as a measles treatment.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending.
If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.
