It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

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.

"When a US Attorney wields the power of his office to target medical journals bc of their content & editorial processes, he isn't doing his job. He's abusing his authority to try to chill protected speech." #saveourscience This is such bullshit.

Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule.

simply because their research didn’t align with the administration’s narrative. Let that sink in: the federal government is pressuring a medical journal over what it’s allowed to publish. This isn’t about science or national security, it’s about control. It’s about silencing dissent.

We’ve talked about Operation Whirlwind before, but the mission keeps expanding, now it’s targeting scientific journals. This week, Ed Martin, the U.S. attorney for D.C., sent an unprecedented letter to CHEST, a medical journal focused on respiratory science, questioning their editorial policies

Now 6 cases of measles in Allen County, Indiana

If your kids aren't vaccinated now is a good time

If you were vaccinated or had measles as a kid, that provides pretty damn good lifelong immunity

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I can’t stress how the HHS layoffs & budget cuts to State Health Departments impact you personally. You may think you have nothing to do with public health or the government but the government has worked to keep you safe & healthy everyday. “Public health saved you today & you didn’t even known it”

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell just introduced a bill to reassert Congress's power over tariffs.

The Trade Review Act of 2025 says a president must notify Congress about new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition. It requires Congress to approve them within 60 days or they expire.

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."

The Senate just PASSED a resolution to reverse Trump's disastrous tariffs on Canada.

Now, it's on the House to listen to the desperate pleas of American businesses, farmers, and families who can't afford Trump's costly price hikes.

Time to end this senseless trade war. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
