⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Also: Roth's wife Arielle Roth--the nominee to head the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Admin--was a Ted Cruz advisor. Cruz is one of the main conduits for the extremist groups like Betar targeting students to give names to the Trump admin to be arrested.

A ruling out of the 8th Circuit today cut off the ability of voters in a large swath of the middle of the country to enforce their rights against race discrimination in voting under the Voting Rights Act. This is deeply problematic. Here's why. (1/3)

JUST NOW — Ben from Ben & Jerry’s interrupts the RFK JR. hearing: “Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking kids off Medicaid! They need to let food in to starving kids in Gaza!” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJpRn4B...

One of the victims died of trauma-induced alcoholism two weeks ago.
