James "Spider" Martin was assigned to photograph the protests in Alabama after civil rights activist Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed by state troopers.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

This story is heartbreaking. 💔 It’s a direct result of vile anti-trans propaganda that the MAGA cult & the Republican Party have been spewing on a daily basis over the last 8 years. Hate, lies and flat out ignorance from a repugnant administration have turned this country into a dangerous place.

Ooops, sorry, didn’t mean to drop this. 😏

Well of course it is.

In a stunning development (sarcastic), it turns out that the people best equipped for land management are....the people who have been doing it for generations. More than 7. Are we at 7 here yet after Mayflower? I'll be at Plymouth Rock later today, and I'll check. If anyone's around, let's meet!

I think there may be differences between terms used to describe today's actions and how they are interpreted by those who perform them. If that's true - would or should that change how they are described?

Some Americans have been resisting oppression for centuries. Others of us have come awake more recently. And everything in between. Most are still asleep, but a fascist coup is a powerful alarm.

The Mississippi Legislature must redraw the state House and Senate district maps to create more Black-majority districts after a federal court ruled in 2024 that the maps do not offer Black voters equal participation.

Calling the costs of running scientific research labs “administrative overhead” might fool the lab rats and guinea pigs. It won’t fool the people dying of cancer or heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
