We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

We are at the point in this process where federal officials need to stop following orders. It takes courage that most won't have, but the alternative is "just following orders."

History is happening right now and everyone will have to choose a side.
Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.

And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

Trump did exactly what he couldn’t stop himself from doing. Biden, Obama and DEI are the ones to blame for the crash. He even took some time to say how much he hates Pete Buttigieg. My heart really goes out to the families that deserve compassion in this moment.

Absolutely bush league and childish.

It’s like listening to a child figure out what happened.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Wow. Just wow. To read these words from David Maraniss. This is how bad things have gotten.
The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
