Citizens United paved the way for the richest man to spend hundreds of millions to elect the president—who just so happens to be helping Musk's companies avoid accountability and saving the billionaire loads of money. It's not a coincidence. It's corruption.

This is yet another step in the Trump administration’s relentless war on science and public health. Shutting down the EPA’s main science division isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. It’s revolting. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

We came to Delaney Hall today to simply do our jobs—we were met with aggression and disrespect. Members of Congress are permitted by law to go into ICE facilities and make sure they’re up to par. We came to see if the rights of the 100+ detainees were being upheld.

Roger Stone called for me to be charged with treason and executed because I introduced a bill to take on Trump’s corruption. Last I checked, that’s my job. Words matter and political violence is personal to my family. This Admin wants to intimidate us, but we can't let them.

I don't see how this is any different than Russia forcing workers to clean out Chernobyl. The ruling class using and abusing the bodies of the working class to line their pockets. It's why the wealthy refer to us as "human capital stock." www.cbsnews.com/news/west-vi...

"Another officer, frustrated, says, 'They don’t need a warrant.' Finally, one of them tells the truth. Due process is not a matter they’re concerned with. The deportation must proceed. Trying to stop it is the unlawful thing"—@billshaner.bsky.social in Worcester www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name. And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request. See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

Trump and Musk are about to give refugee status to 60 white South Africans — who do not need it — while Trump locks up and deports refugees here who face genuine dangers in other countries. This is the sick global apartheid policy being adopted by this lawless administration.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Pope Leo will likely be the first Pope to have to grapple with the impact of AI on humanity. Given the emotional connection we already see people making with primitive AI chatbots, it is not hard to imagine a near future where AI beings have identity, citizenship… souls. Do androids get into heaven?

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
