You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

This twice-yearly shot almost completely prevents HIV and is now approved. It could shut down HIV. It needs to roll out in at risk groups. But Trump has gutted HIV prevention at home and abroad. That could be stopped, however. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/h...

So MAGA is now coming for the United Methodist Church. This is an ominous development — it represents a potential crackdown on progressive denominations who don’t conform to the bigotry of the Christian Nationalists. www.umnews.org/en/news/unit...

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

When our leaders abandon their duty. When the media turn away. When international NGOs and doctors are murdered for trying to help, then it falls to ordinary people to step up. My latest on the growing movement of grandmothers against genocide. charlieangus.substack.com/p/grandmothe...

“'He would be offended if people called him a Democrat,' he told CBS News, adding that Boelter 'was a Trump supporter, voted for Trump,' and was happy Trump won the 2024 election." - @RpsAgainstTrump bluevirginia.us/2025/06/sund...

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

He was also a committed slaveowner who brutalized the human beings he owned. He didn’t fight for honor.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to roll back rules that limited mercury, lead, and arsenic emissions from coal plants, protections designed to safeguard brain development and prevent heart and respiratory disease.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Trump continues to "defend women" by attacking trans people and disinvesting in programs that actually protect women and newborn's health

Someone go change the channel on Marsha’s TV

Lots of people showing that what they would have done in 1930s Germany is lecture the opposition to be more tepid.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America. Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

LA is on fire!!!!! No really, they’re cooking today!

Rule #1: don’t call in the Marines unless you actually need the Marines. While there seems to be a good level of awareness of the high stakes, which can drive caution, the political theater of this small-minded and selfish president and his SecBro puts civilians and Marines alike in danger. 1/2
