If there is any symbol for who RFK is and how he is perverting health policy in the U.S., issuing a major "health" report based on fake science perfectly encapsulates his tenure www.notus.org/health-scien...

Why is the CHP conducting reckless high speed chases on Oakland streets? Let's recall the @CAgovernor during the DA recall campaign held a a PR stunt condemning Oakland for being too lenient on dangerous high speed chases while the CHP has a green light to put the lives of bystanders at grave risk.

Once again it is Netanyahu's arrogant demand that a cease fire only be temporary so that Israel can fully resume its genocidal war. For over a year, Israel has repeatedly set this unconscionable barrier to ending its mass slaughter in Gaza. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/u...

Yes, Big Pharma has too much power over everything. But their influence with peer-reviewed leading medical journals pales in comparison to their stranglehold over Congress, and other electeds. If RFK Jr. is not talking about that, he is not an anti-corporate "populist," just another Trumpian fraud.

To Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and the other ghouls overseeing Trump's draconian deportation policy, a child dying would probably go down in their diary as a "good outcome." www.latimes.com/california/s...

Trump has normalized seizure of all branches of government, weaponization of using government to persecute political opponents and to silence dissent, cruelty to the most vulnerable people, and lies about all of it. His earth shattering corruption is no different www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Proud of the 8 Dem Senators pressing Trump and Rubio on accountability for the assassination of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh by the Israeli military. As they note the Israeli "investigation" was a facade and there has been no accountability for the murder. x.com/prem_thakker...

Plaudits to these 8 conscientious Senators. Imagine the reaction if an American journalist was assassinated by the military of most other countries, instead of silence by all the other Senators there would be near universal outrage and demands for accountability.

For all the autocratic abuses that characterize U.S. President Donald Trump’s second tenure, nothing more parallels the historic pattern of dictatorships than the kidnapping of disfavored individuals by armed agents of the state. My blog, via @commondreams.org www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

Public protests exposed the outrage of her Gestapo-style kidnap and trafficking to a prison in Louisiana from which the Trump administration thought it would be easier to deport her. For the "crime" of an oped voicing her opposition to the U.S.-supported Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Glad she's free

#OtD 1 May 1886 300-500k workers went on strike and rallies were held across the US, with the cry: "Eight-hour day with no cut in pay." The strike led to the Chicago Haymarket Affair and the start of May Day itself. More in this great book: shop.workingclasshistory.com/en-gb/collec...

The fight for #MedicareForAll will never end. Public pressure has overcome the worst barriers in U.S. history - we can overcome Trump, the Democratic establishment, and the corporate health care industry @nationalnurses.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov x.com/SenSanders/s...

Just imagine how Republicans in Congress and the right wing echo chamber would have reacted if the Biden administration had started arresting judges for political reasons. This is straight out of the playbook of every fascist dictatorship and military coup of the past century

Horrific. The Jim Crow2.0 era is in full swing from the Confederacy in the White House. Erasing Black history and all signs of resistance is a key part of that

So the Trump administration has ratcheted up its assault on the judicial branch by arresting a Judge for how she conducts the law in her courtroom. Trump apologists bristle at any comparisons to Nazis. Well, stop acting like them

Why do people hate health insurance companies? Reason 972- putting executive pay packages over patient care. Health care is a right, it should not ever be an afterthought to padding the pockets of the claims deniers
