Millions of people who are facing unsafe air or water conditions no longer have an advocate for their communities within the EPA, as Trump has put up to 200 workers from the Environmental Justice Office on leave.

Like I said Democrats are here to blog this regime.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

"It is a worry that Musk has been able to get as far as he has in terms of meddling in the internal politics of several countries. One can only hope that there will soon be a concerted pushback to Musk’s global moves." — #AJOpinion by @somdeepsen.bsky.social ⤵️

Three Columbia University graduate students who were suspended last year for attending protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza filed a lawsuit against the university alleging that they were singled out for unwarranted scrutiny and harassment.

"When people deny our stories, they're denying my truth. They're denying my abuses that I experienced." Rejecting the full history of Canada's residential schools and the harms Indigenous children faced is a form of hate, say survivors ⤵️

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

“It’s like these people (management) are wearing horse blinders. They think it’s just about pay, it’s just about insurance, but it’s not. It’s about how you treat us as people and whether or not we come to work safe.” www.wkyufm.org/2025-02-06/k...

Anyone who is not Muslim, Arab, or Palestinian who is coming into my mentions not to express solidarity with Palestinians but to shame people for protesting for Palestine is getting blocked. No exceptions.

A little tired of hearing people blaming Trump on Arab-Americans in Dearborn who stayed home instead of voting for the administration that murdered their families out of pure bigotry

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

BREAKING: After two months of arbitrary detention by Moroccan authorities, activist and agricultural engineer Ismail Lghzaoui is free! Repression will never crush our collective resistance and struggle. Freedom for all prisoners of conscience in Morocco, the Arab region, and around the world.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

"Catastrophic": Trans Youth Lose Access to Care as Hospitals Capitulate to Trump Attacks

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

In an email sent to website managers from the USDA’s office of communications, agencies have been informed that they must “archive or unpublish any landing pages focused on climate change.”

on this Black History Month and every other month in the year.

Scarlett Pavlovich just filed charges in federal court accusing Neil Gaiman of human trafficking -- and sexual abuse, assault, coercion, and rape. Amanda Palmer is named in the complaint as well, for exploiting Scarlett's unpaid labor, and neglecting to warn her about Gaiman.

We honor one of the greatest strike leaders in labor history, Hattie Canty: “The labor movement and the civil rights movement, you cannot separate the two of them.” #BlackHistoryMonth

Israeli forces conducted an unprecedented escalation in the West Bank over the weekend by detonating 20 apartment buildings in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The move constituted the largest single demolition operation in the West Bank since 1967.

As part of his next proposed state budget, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to give tax breaks to residents who purchase guns and firearm accessories during the first half of the summer.

at a very packed-seeming (like can’t move in the crowd packed) rally for trans kids because NYU-Langone is still apparently complying with Trump’s exec order trying to ban gender-affirming care. it’s also very quiet, sound wise. that’s my scene report til I get good photos. details/organizers:

I'm going to say it again: Immigration is good, actually. There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what. "Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

A grand jury in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has indicted and issued arrest warrants for a New York physician who prescribed abortion pills to a pregnant minor in Louisiana, which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country.

With all the uncertainty around ICE raids, we need to ensure that we spread information, not fear. If ICE comes to your workplace, stops you on the street or knocks on your door, you have rights! #KnowYourRights 📲Download these infographics on our website: weprotectusny.org.

If you're a reporter covering sensitive stuff, there will be moments when it makes sense to send questions in advance and to grant people anonymity to allow for honest comments. Make sure to have Signal and SecureDrop for sensitive documents. Legal checks are worth it. Avoid rushing for a scoop.

The Gaza Government Media Office urges aid groups to send tents as thousands of displaced Palestinians sleep outdoors in freezing temperatures, as Israel blocks aid

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

SCOOP: Many of the pages that went missing on Friday from the CDC website on Friday have reappeared — in response to intense media coverage, backlash from the scientific community and concern for the public’s health. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/h...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Iran has condemned Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, warning it would amount to “ethnic cleansing”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7mu5k3

GET IN THE BIN GET IN THE FUCKING BIN

Steve Bannon just said this on his show, War Room: What Trump is doing with “taking about Greenland and Panama and extending the frontiers of the United States [is] kind of Manifest Destiny 2.0." 1/2

Read Steven’s latest “THERE IS AN added terror for Palestinians in Gaza who must hunt down vital medications. It’s especially hard for those few dozen looking for stigmatized HIV meds.” Reminder that every injustice everywhere is queer & gendered.

Unless I’m mistaken, @nytimes.com has not deigned to cover this manhattan murder at all. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

What is this advice specifically supposed to mean about an ongoing legislative and executive attack on a minority group, exactly

WATCH: “They asked me if I wanted my medication or if I wanted my TODAY show interview to run.” United Health denied his life-saving medication until it was about to become a national story. A cruel, broken for-profit system. 🇺🇸 #MedicareForAll Full: www.democracynow.org/2024/12/20/h...

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing. (Published Jan. 2024)
