A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

Maddow didn't say shit about an entire US-sponsored Holocaust in Gaza, didn't mention the international courts who are prosecuting these US-backed war criminals nor the constant human rights violations, but instead uplifted the politicians who were conducting the genocide.
Maddow is complicit.

Ta-Nehisi Coates statement, ‘if you can’t stand up against genocide, why should I believe you can stand up for democracy,’ distills the essence of the Death of the Democratic Party.

There is no recovering from the moral stain of publicly incinerating children to steal the land of their ancestors.

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short.

She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family.

Stop dehumanizing immigrants.

That is not America.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland.

Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies.

"He hugs me and maintains a silent gaze,
as if his look
could order the rubble to become a house,
could restore the curtains to the windows …"
Poet Tamim Barghouti reads from his father's poignant poem, "Midnight," a meditation on Palestine's history, exile, and occupation. A powerful reflection on loss and longing.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

“…a GoFundMe to establish a legal defense fund for Briana Boston was quickly shut down. This is especially shocking because a GoFundMe for Daniel Penny…thrived with more than $3.5 million in contributions. Why…?”

“The answer is, this is what class warfare looks like.”
A Florida woman has been charged with terrorism for expressing frustration at blue cross and blue shield for denying her health insurance claim.

Understand—this is not about silencing her. It is about silencing all of us. And we must peacefully but firmly resist.
