It’s not “socialist” to advocate for universal healthcare. It’s obscene that the richest country in the world doesn’t consider healthcare a basic human right. If you want to Make America Healthy Again, it starts with healthcare. Everything else is secondary.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

They are zip tying and arresting people in wheelchairs. Their “crime”? Protesting to keep their Medicaid which is a literal life and death issue for disabled people. The cruelty is the point. Remember that the Nazis started with the disabled. They tested the gas chambers on us

I popped into Canterbury on Sunday as I thought it was the cooler of the weekend. I was wrong as the wind was hot but it was still nice to mooch around the city, walking along the river. Seeing the flowers and seeing wildlife..

"Alligator Alcatraz" This is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ latest move to curry favor with his cult leader, Donald Trump, by building a facility in the middle of the Everglades to detain immigrants. Its cost? $450 million dollars a year to run this facility youtu.be/bti_l31oxVA?...

Religion was the original authoritarian government. Making policy that took rights away from people with different faiths from the beginning. In 2022, we lost the ability to say that politics is a public service job that aims to write policy for every constituent REGARDLESS of religious status.

NEW: A Mexican landscaper beaten while being violently detained by immigration agents has THREE sons who are US Marines. My latest on Katie Phang News on how Trump and the GOP don’t care about patriotism & how US citizens are being jailed for trying to protect immigrants. youtu.be/6ivg1oo1FQQ?...

Netanyahu and Trump are both criminals who are desperate to stay in power because otherwise they will be imprisoned. A needless war is not a distraction for authoritarians—it’s par for the course, embedded in the fascist playbook. This is a farce manufactured as yet another way to hold onto power.

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private: That Trump is stupid, and nuts.

This is a fact, he is a stochastic terrorist. Before he was elected we asked ourselves “how long until his words get people killed”? Now we know the answer…

It looks like we have the next Obama in the making! Listen to this nine-year-old speak in front of a packed New York town hall with the State Attorney General present, display more common sense and courage than many in U.S. Congress. The kids are alright, America, and they are who we fight for!

Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send your children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg—who famously forced women to sign NDAs to prevent them from disclosing sexual abuse and harassment—just donated $5,000,000 to 11X credibly accused sexual abuser Andrew Cuomo, all in a desperate bid to prevent Mamdani from winning. This is what corruption looks like.

Until the recent changes, VA hospitals’ bylaws said that medical staff could not discriminate against patients “on the basis of race, age, color, sex, religion," etc. Now, several of those items – including “national origin,” “politics” and “marital status” – have been removed from that list.

“We need everything in the atmosphere & the ocean together. That’s a big goal of ours. That won’t happen this year, but assuming NOAA’s research division still exists next year, it could get closer to being realized in 2026. “You don’t know how important something is until you take it away." Foltz

Yep that’s the story today. And the next story is how we funnel these millions of new people into sustained local organizing in service of democracy.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.
