Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.

Justice Jackson's dissent — joined only by Sotomayor — ends with a devastating line:
"Instead, the Court allows the Government to do what it wants to do regardless, rendering constraints of law irrelevant and unleashing devastation in the process."

Rümeysa Öztürk was supposed to be transferred to Vermont from Louisiana today, but the government delayed her return. She remains thousands of miles from her home, sitting in ICE detention for speaking out on her beliefs.
Along with her entire legal team, our fight for her freedom continues.

If Waltz is out -- Pete Hegseth is in DEEP trouble

A LOT of people do not want to hear it but in the United States at least, food has never been safer to eat, not to mention tastier
We are living in one of the few times in human history where you can buy a loaf of bread and if it says it’s made with wheat flour and salt and yeast and water and nothing else, it’s probably made from just those ingredients, and some people want to END this.

For four years, GOP officials tried to block Ohio activists from putting a measure on the ballot that would end the doctrine of qualified immunity, which prevents many victims from suing police for damages.
But now, after winning in court, organizers can finally start collecting signatures.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control
