Only a dozen states have laws establishing suicide prevention offices or coordinators, and just 11 have task forces or committees dedicated to suicide prevention efforts, according to a new report.

Pennsylvania does not have either one.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.
The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible
Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been.

Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs.

That's it.

Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered.

Every word out of his mouth will be a lie.

He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests.

He will lie to ALL our faces.

There is no reason that ICE needs to hire violent thugs to deport people that are here illegally.

It can be a peaceful process that works within our laws and respects the rights of every human.

They are putting on this spectacle to terrorize the people. It is all for show.

Under the Republican Party, the US government refuses to back up Ukraine or our European allies.

But they will declare war on Los Angeles.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

How many degrees of separation can there possibly be between us and Senator McCormick’s daughters? Because calling his office feels futile but maybe one of them can convince him to vote NO to the House reconciliation bill.

I mean who are we going to believe our own ears and eyes or the failed 4th Estate?
On my way to Delaney Hall right now to conduct federal oversight.

The lack of transparency around what’s happening with ICE in this facility is unacceptable. People deserve dignity and we need answers.

Judge Boasberg finds there is probable cause to pursue criminal contempt charges against the Trump administration officials who disobeyed his order to stop the deportation of immigrants to El Salvador

I'm glad I've worked with K-8 autistic students so I can say how, despite the material & educational challenges their families have to contend with, how special & wonderful autistic kids are. I love them, they enrich my work every day. RFK Jr is a Nazi-era eugenicist to me, a sick fucking bastard.
As I wrote in the piece, Kennedy continues to use stigmatizing and frankly pretty shocking language to refer to people with autism, implicitly framing them as a burden on society and their families who will, as he said, "never pay taxes" or "write a poem."

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court.

But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long.

Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.
