A single predator drone costs taxpayers $25-70m. Imagine what you could do for your community with that money.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

What does 18,000+ brave signatories look like standing together in massive solidarity with the #NIH heroes of the historic Bethesda Declaration??... Find out by adding YOUR NAME to our #NIHLove letter here! - actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na... #StandUpForScience #BethesdaDeclaration #StopTrump

“You have made progress.” “You are not a danger to yourself or others.” The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral. (Published Dec. 2024)

we’re going to think about this girl’s smile all day (and yes… she’s found her forever home 🥰)

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

An inspirational story of hope to end this day. Goodnight Blue Sky

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

Be ungovernable

How is it possible we still didn't see any reporting on who these amateurish ICE agents are? I'm sure reporters have access to experts who can show beyond doubt these are not trained officers. I'm sure they have access to resources who can uncover the identity of these people.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.

It is possible to do the right thing. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

From health care access to religious exemptions, there are four critical cases we are still waiting for this SCOTUS term whose rulings could threaten LGBTQ+ rights. Read our breakdown of the four cases and how their rulings could affect LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV.

We need more members of Congress, a co-equal branch of government, speaking out against Trump's intentional escalation of the situation in LA. Tell Congress to push back and oppose Trump's fascist use of the National Guard here: bit.ly/449vUkP #ResistTrump

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

"My job is mostly rescuing children." "We will continue working until we die." — Hussein Mohsen, medic, killed in an IDF airstrike on Monday with two of his colleagues

And just like that, you're 60% through the week. Affirmation Coyote never doubted you could make it.

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Last week I surveyed fish in a tributary of the Clearwater (multiple permits required) & found a population of gorgeous rainbows and cutthroat living below this beautifully lush unmapped ~5 m waterfall. The hike was a steep bugger, but the mesic ferny forest was so pretty. #nativeplants 🐟 #hydrology

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

BREAKING NEWS: Meerkat hugs a water sausage. Everybody has a great time.

The Agami Herons are very busy right now collecting twigs for their nests. One adult will collect sticks and then the mates will debate the best location for said twig. I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks documenting the nesting of these amazing birds. #herons #birds #costarica
