The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Folks, let's not go all rosy retrospection with Elon Musk. Just because he and the Orange Turd don't get along anymore doesn't mean he's invited to the table.

This is a time when we need courage. Courage to stand up and be peaceful but loud. Make your voice heard...but not cross into violence. This is a time when your fears are real but you can't let them hold you back. Way too many people in positions of power are self muting. I'm not one of them.

The regime wants an excuse to crackdown with violence. If they're provoked into violence by riot and lawlessness, they win. If the resistance can muster the numbers in peaceful protest, and the power responds with violence, the apathetic and complacent will see and react, and the regime falls.

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

Finally watching Andor. Just saw S1 E7, Cassian gets jailed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. What disturbs me most is WHY he's stopped in the first place: "What're you doing? You keep looking around?" If they can train us to keep our eyes down, they win. Look up. Speak up.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

We were likely years away from making HIV a thing of the past. Humanity triumphing over one of its worst diseases Instead we'll live in a world where people continue getting sick because of a greedy few who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes

npr Diseases are spreading. CDC isn't warning the public like it was before. CDC's newsletters have stopped being distributed, alerts about disease outbreaks to health professionals haven't been dispatched, and most of the agency's social media channels have gone more than a month without posting.

Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.
