This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kennedy’s agenda at HHS and Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will make Americans sicker, with nowhere to turn because of hospital and nursing home closures. This is a recipe for more unnecessary deaths.

Big Oil ally Lee Zeldin just gutted the EPA's research arm, which informs the agency's life-saving work to regulate toxic chemicals and pollution.

It's the latest example of how Trump's deregulation spree benefits his corporate donors at our expense.

Our public lands are under attack—and most people don’t even know it.

One way to change that? Talk about it. Share it. Organize around it.

Even Senator Mike Lee accidentally helped shine a light on the threats. Now it’s up to us to fight back.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time.

The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.
"We fear that if this bill passes, a village in rural Alaska might lose its one-and-only grocery store because of a drastic decline in SNAP dollars. It might also lose its sole health care clinic or hospital because it cannot sustain its services with decreased Medicaid reimbursements."
“The likely impacts from the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ are particularly ugly for our home state, Alaska,” write Bryce Edgmon and Cathy Giessel, two state lawmakers. “The bill being rushed through Congress is based on a one-size-fits-all approach that does not reflect these realities on the ground.”

🚨🚨Republicans just BLOCKED Democrats’ bill to stop Trump from skirting Congress on any further action in Iran.

The Constitution clearly says only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

If your leaders keep failing you by being weak, and everyone makes fun of them for being weak, and they lose all the battles they should have won? Then it’s long past time to replace your leaders. because they are obviously very bad leaders. You don’t owe them a goddamn thing.
