May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE. The Matrix is older than ICE. Legally Blonde is older than ICE. We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach. Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

At just $17.28 an hour, most Dodger Stadium tour guides struggle to afford food and rent in LA. On top of that, the team is trying to take away EXISTING benefits! LA is a union town—tell them we won’t stand for unfair treatment! Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/de...

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

I love that little determined face...

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Fascinating, evolution in action 🤔

Sarah McBride living rent free in republicans minds is weird.

Who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

If you're in Illinois and: - Palestinian, or protesting the genocide in Occupied Palestine; or - trans, or protesting for trans rights; and you are arrested or discriminated against, I can represent you pro bono. Please email me at [email protected]. I will take as many cases as I can.

The City is estimated to overspend this fiscal year by $300 million. Liability payouts are a big chunk of that. 💰 As the City takes money away from the General Fund to pay for these liability payouts, that leaves less funds for other City departments and services for Angelenos.

No one is better at capturing this moment (and how the Dems are failing to meet it) than @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social. inthesetimes.com/article/stat...

In Indiana, 16 and 17-year-olds can now work the same hours as adults and are no longer restricted by school hours and days. They also can work overnight without an adult and perform hazardous agriculture jobs. Many 14- and 15-year-olds can now work during school hours as well.

Took the kids this summer to see some of our most fiercely protected conservation areas. Was magical.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

People that go on power trips to those working in service/retail are the absolute worst humans.

This is perfect explanation

Working from home just two days a week saves workers anywhere from $305 to $2,357 per year on travel, parking, food and work clothes. Trump and the CEOs who want workers back in the office full time are handing workers a pay cut, says MarketWatch. www.marketwatch.com/story/for-fe...

This is what the Trump Campaign and the GOP spent hundreds of millions on scaring people over.

Waymo is peak American innovation. With way less money they could have built a reliable public transport network, but instead someone was like "what if we could find a way for empty vehicles to contribute to traffic too? There's no reason we can't have more cars on the road than there are drivers"

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

i think this is a version of the phenomenon that put trump back in power: basically, people are bored

Let’s talk about what the authoritarian aggression we know is coming will look like. Built on an existing system of political harassment, it’s already taking shape, as it did this week in my neck of the woods. Thread. 1/26 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The state of media for Americans is so completely broken

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Today we remember the legacy of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
