Bruce Springsteen just opened his European tour in Manchester with a powerful message about how things are going back home 🔥

Despicable. Throwing the people who kept our soldiers alive out of the country while we import a bunch of white supremacists? Truly despicable.

I know from experience: When we fight, we win. This week, we stopped the GOP from stealing a North Carolina Supreme Court seat. Democracy Docket reported every update on this case. Subscribe to its free newsletters for the latest on all the lawsuits to come: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

A Russian influence operation was going nowhere. Then it hit the big time www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Florida just created new felony charges with which to threaten groups that are trying to put measures on the ballot. If you’re convicted, you’d lose your right to vote. All in trying to stop abortion rights from making the ballot again. boltsmag.org/florida-new-...

www.npr.org/2025/05/07/n... I'm so thankful that this program cut can provide tax cuts to Elon Musk and his fellow oligarchs.

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Freedom’s just another word for everything left to win

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.” Read, share, respond. Call your representatives. The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake. www.science.org/content/arti...

He's insane and he's evil.

Trump killed a fine economy out of ignorance. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/b...

It’s just insane this guy has a police power

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Another fake scandal ginned up by the right and Elon Musk--that Trump has seized upon to target his political enemies in a brazen abuse of power. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We are a deeply sick country

Greg Casar, who is Chair of the Progressive Caucus, doesn't get enough credit for the good messaging he's doing and where he has done it.

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days. Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

If you needed any further proof that the arrest of Judge Dugan was a propaganda opportunity and a fear tactic, here you go. Nothing about this is normal—it’s authoritarianism!

"He might have a pen, and he might have a phone, but what he does not have is the constitutional power to run this country like a dictator." - Barack Obama

We are fighting against this Administration when it tries to find new and cruel ways to make it harder for seniors to get their earned benefits. I won't stop demanding answers and standing up for Social Security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

the weirdos who insisted children were being abused in the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement sure are quiet in the face of actual trafficking

If CBS settles this case, any reporter or editor or news industry person who stays there risks no longer being considered a reputable journalist. The newsrooms should organize now and make clear they will leave en masse. Shut the place down if CBS pays Trump a bribe to grease their merger plans.

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.

“It’s very chilling,” a Labor Department employee who requested anonymity for fear of retribution told ProPublica. “It’s never a good look when you’re telling people to never talk about what you’re doing.”

Please follow independent news outlets that won't horserace report us into an endless night of authoritarian fascism. Follow outlets like the one I work for, @mississippifreepress.org.

Musk is enabling election interference against political parties he dislikes. He will keep doing it until governments stop him.

The Authoritarian capture of the university system by a rightwing state government using the state house end of session as cover should be massive news.

I guess we can deport Trump in 2028? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... Total authoritarian move.

A Trump-supporting podcaster who was allegedly paid massive sums by Russian state media used his time during Tuesday’s White House press briefing to slam the reporters surrounding him.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to mock the death of Pope Francis on Monday—offering not condolences, but what looked like a celebration.
