When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

Every so often, political media will go out of its way to create a story and then externalize it as though it happened naturally at the hands of some other party. "Continued questions" from whom? "Emerging" from where? This is police shooting-speak.

They fired the intelligence analysts that refuted these lies and that’s why now they’re talking about suspending habeas corpus unless the judges go along with the lie that the US is under Venezuelan “invasion”

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

Donald Trump is famous for firing people. This administration has fired thousands. Tonight, I want to talk about a few of them. And how their loss hurts you. youtu.be/32tXn5jRZoM?...

One reason that none of the scandals have ever quite stuck to Trump is that media companies have largely not chosen to make them stick. They drop a carefully reported story under an anodyne headline, nobody reads it, everyone shrugs and moves on

for the people in the driver's seat of the right wing cultural movement, an end to "DEI" always meant doing things like sending free money to a white lady who called a child the n word. sorry if you thought it was about a slightly annoying HR webinar you once had to watch or whatever.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Trump's executive order to gut funding for public media (including NPR and PBS) will cut off news sources for millions. That’s exactly what he wants: to exert even more control over the information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

you literally can't deport a US citizen to another country; the definition of deportation is to send away someone who's not in the country legally.

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.

You may not have heard about it, but Trump rescinded Biden's executive order which raised the minimum wage for federal contractors. By cutting the minimum wage for fed contractors, Trump is harming workers like janitors & food service workers in government buildings. www.epi.org/blog/trumps-...
