The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

We’re four months in and masked paramilitary agents are using flash bangs on peaceful civilian crowds.

What a load of crap. The only thing that anguishes Trump is the idea that someone is getting something he doesn't get. Kamala beat him in the debate & was appealing in the interview. Trump couldn't stand being shown up by a Black woman once, let alone twice. What a loser. apnews.com/article/trum...

Now that I've gotten older, I've come to realize why Bigfoot stays away from people.

One of my husband Robert's favorite quotes comes from Horace Greeley, a newspaper man who founded the New York Tribune so many years ago. I think of it often: “Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.”

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

The death toll of Israel’s war in Gaza, according to this investigation, includes 266 entire nuclear families (two parents and their children) of three, 192 entire nuclear families of four, 171 of five, 121 of six, 50 of seven, 17 of eight, 10 of nine, 3 of eleven, and 1 of fourteen.

Target continues to let us know what it stands for. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...

Stating the obvious:

Harvard University is set to launch free college courses online for every US citizen and this one highlights basic U.S. government and understanding the Constitution. You can audit the course for free or obtain a verified certificate for $149. Here’s more info: pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...

If Joe Biden posted this Memorial Day message, the mainstream media and Republicans would say he is completely unfit to serve, with many calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Because it's Trump, everyone remains silent.

Reminder: the Pentagon budget now tops $1 TRILLION per year while veterans sleep on the streets and VA funding is being cut.

This seems alarmingly relevant

"Medicare is going." And Social Security too, presumably. There will be pain and death but the billionaires will be exempt.

Hopefully people do understand the importance. A boycott with an end date does nothing but absorb energy from potential effective boycotts. Those in Montgomery didn’t abstain from riding the bus for 6 days, they went until their demand was met. That is the purpose of a boycott.

Something needs to be clarified: BOYCOTTS DO NOT HAVE END DATES. The boycott against Target is working because it does not have an end date, these large corporations can take a 6 day hit. There must be a demand and a consequence. We cannot not allow people to co-opt terms.

Children are being starved by governments. In Gaza, it’s siege. In America, it’s policy. Trump’s budget slashes WIC, SNAP, and school meals — while the ultra-rich feast. No child should go hungry.

The Guardian’s investigation is based on thousands of confidential corporate and patient records obtained through sources, public records requests and court files, interviews with more than 20 current and former UnitedHealth and nursing home employees. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
