Houston says no to fascism and Trump's crimes against humanity. #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

ICYMI: In this week's Elephant in the Room, Rick details the constitutional tipping point we find ourselves in as a democratic republic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNKa...

Another week of heartache in the ranks of federal workers. But even as we wait for our separation dates from the jobs we loved, or prepare to go back into desolate offices without co-workers, we still believe in the oath we took our first day.

What ‘should be’ done?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

My Philadelphia Inquirer friend and colleague Helen Ubiñas just came back from Italy and the International Journalism Festival, where America's decline into fascism was Topic A. All Americans, and not just journalist, should hear what she heard

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Plenty of money to send celebrities to space, but no money for healthcare.

Big piece on why Sanders went to Coachella and how his strategy for reaching out to young voters is drawing them back into the fight.

There are only two responses to this: 1) Tell them BEWARE and to wait 4-8 years to make contact with us OR 2) PLEASE COME SAVE US NOW!!!

Everyone in America needs to be alarmed when due process is ignored. Without it, you can’t appeal. You can't prove who you are, just like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Even if you’re a citizen, you are now guilty of whatever crime they have labeled you guilty of. No one is safe under fascism.

Some people push for one, consider the risks www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]

Howls always make us smile 🥰

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

In Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region, public outrage erupted after a local hospital director ordered the closure of the neurology department and laid off staff. In response, furious residents staged a protest — and threw the official who signed the order into a dumpster. #3E

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Any apologist for Russia… anyone that thinks that somehow Ukraine is an aggressor in this war or that Putin is some kind of great leader… is not only an abomination of a human but my enemy. apple.news/Agki1LqXpQ1u...

Eugenicists are so stupid.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m tired of this happening.
