History won’t think Terry Moran made a mistake by telling the truth about neo-Nazi Trump adviser Stephen Miller. History will see Moran as a journalist who got tired of not telling the whole truth and finally did so. History will remember ABC as one of the news outlets that caved to fascism.

The GOP budget bill would be devastating for tens of thousands of Iowans: 2% of Iowa’s population will lose their healthcare. 47,000 people, including over 28,000 children, will lose their food assistance. And that’s just one example out of 50.

In the wake of the publication of The Bethesda Declaration, House Dems are demanding “an urgent hearing” with NIH Director Bhattacharya to “assess whether the NIH remains equipped to serve the American people and maintain its leadership in global biomedical research.” We’ve updated our piece.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Just to be clear: peaceful protest is as American as it gets. But when insurrectionists were beating cops in his name, Trump never deployed the National Guard. That tells you everything.

The only meaningful potential response to this unfolding catastrophe is somehow not mentioned in this article: To stop the oceans heating up, you have to get fossil fuel companies' heat-trapping pollution to zero. And to do that, you have to end the fossil fuel industry. 💫

“In protest of police brutality, we were demonized for the phrase Black Lives Matter. The typical response was that All Lives Matter. Well, America, here is your chance to make good on your word. If all lives truly matter, you’ll stand against mass deportations,” writes educator Rann Miller.

Yes, why is support for the far right authoritarian party's unbelievably extreme policy positions on issues like "should we invade 🇨🇦?" and "who is the right side to support in the 🇷🇺/🇺🇦 war?" "essentially unrepresented" on this "bubble" of a social media site? Verily, it's a total mystery 🤷‍♂️

Once again, she & Tim Walz were right & they actually did all the Things Democrats Must Do & it didn’t work because of racism, misogyny, & a totally broken media/information environment.

The U.S. is supposed to host World Cup soccer next year along with Canada and Mexico. But with the Trump regime harassing visitors and making our streets unsafe, World Cup officials should think twice. No World Cup here until the fascists stop fashing.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

As protests spread across the US and the Trump Administration mobilizes the military to repress them, there are lots of lessons to learn from our recent past. This piece explains lessons from the largest period of sustained protest in US history in summer 2020 www.brookings.edu/articles/les...
