We fought for the release of $4 million in federal funding for the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, which advances natural disaster research that protects millions across our country.
An important step forward — onwards!
Last March, millions hit the streets worldwide to say No Kings. Now, with May Day fast approaching, people are looking for what’s next. So on May 1st, don’t work, don’t go to school, and don’t give big corporations a single cent. Join the fight this May Day!
There are still spots open for our work event 4/25 to write postcards and pack food bags for our NDLON support group.
Yeah I’m struggling with this hearing.
RFK Jr. is lying every time he is asked a question and we’re expected to just like accept that this is normal business.
THIS. MAN. SHOULD. NOT. BE. HHS. SECRETARY. PERIOD.
He is dangerous and he is harming so many people.

Here’s a shame that, unlike Donald Trump, will never die.
Hundreds of Afghans served as interpreters for US soldiers. They did everything right, everything America asked. Now more than 400 of their children are with them in a camp in Qatar, waiting to find out what doing everything right was worth.

Share (Open dialog with sharing options) May 22, 2025 Rachael Fugardi Several weeks after the 2024 presidential election, Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), proudly embraced a white nationalist conspiracy theory while celebrating then-President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportation. Kirk accused Democrats of embracing immigration as part of their plot to secure voters, permit crime and enact the “great replacement.” He warned his hundreds of thousands of listeners, “We native born Americans are being replaced by foreigners.” He then promised Trump will “liberate” the country from “the enemy occupation of the foreigner hordes.” Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA is a well-funded, hard-right organization with links to Southern Poverty Law Center-identified hard-right extremists and a tremendous amount of influence in conservative politics. While the group was previously dismissed by key figures within the Republican National Committee (RNC), Trump attended several TPUSA events across the country throughout 2024, and several of his nominees have ties to the organization. Turning Point Action, the group’s sister 501(c)(4) organization, led Trump’s 2024 campaign efforts in key battleground states and played a vital role in the election of far-right candidates in Arizona, while TPUSA participated on the advisory board of Project 2025, a blueprint to radically reshape the federal government. 2024 Year in Hate & Extremism Over the last several years, the political right has increasingly shifted toward an authoritarian, patriarchal Christian supremacy dedicated to eroding the value of inclusive democracy and public institutions. The political right in the U.S., whose party infrastructu…
One of two reasons the far right HATES SPLC is that they called out Charlie Kirk's increasing radicalism over time.
But under the fungibility argument DOJ is relying on in indictment, TPUSA could be charged for January 6, which Biden's DOJ did not do.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Oh, for fuck’s sake....
I still wanna know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's credit debt.
Just guessing, but I'd anticipate SCOTUS declaring a judicial branch FOIA an unconstitutional violation of separation of powers
Court To Bondi: Demanding Platforms Censor Speech And Bragging About It On Fox News Is, In Fact, A First Amendment Violation
For the better part of five years, we've been treated to an elaborate performance about the unprecedented constitutional horror of "jawboning." Jim Jordan held hearings.…
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Joe DiGenova, whose wife once solicited payments from foreigners to lie about Joe Biden in 2019, just got sworn in to investigate things those things he lied about in the past.
Over the weekend I laid out why this is so problematic.

Jewish trauma is real.
The Holocaust was real.
Antisemitism is real.
And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.
"Free Speech Absolutist"
As they used to say in the Soviet era:
"The Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, but it does not guarantee freedom after the speech."
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
2 ¶¶ of a warrant affidavit describing Joe DiGenova going on Laura Ingraham's show spewing conspiracy theories about Marie Yovanovitch, Joe and Hunter Biden, and the Mueller investigation, and Victoria Toensing pushing Lev Parnas about getting a retainer from Yuriy Lutsenko. The names are redacted but I've put them in in pink.
Here's the key reason why putting Joe DiGenova in charge of the Russian investigation is so suspect. On the same day Mueller finished Joe was spewing FALSE conspiracy theories abt Ru and the Bidens, hoping to get paid by Lutsenko for doing so.

Just finished season three of the Proof podcast. I'm still stunned. Jacinda Davis and Susan Simpson set out to investigate one wrongful conviction in Kalamazoo. They uncovered as many as nine. All from the same cold case unit.
Stellar reporting and investigative work. This should be national news.
Good. More please.
Some ambitious Democrat humor me and run for president just repeating just these simple ideas:
1) justice / prosecution / revenge against Trump + GOP
2) anti corruption across the board! connect to above
3) universal healthcare
4) universal human rights
4) no USA tax $ or weapons for genocide
calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...
However low your opinion of the Roberts Court, it should be lower.
OMG, that was my 1st thought as well
Ask Lutnick how many tax breaks his companies have gotten from the federal government, how many exemptions he personally gets, whether he has ever benefited from the carried interest loophole. Then ask him how much money a single mom working 2 minimum wage jobs gets from SNAP if she has 3 kids.
The competence porn point here is fascinating:
Orbánism was, more or less, a model for what Trump and the Republican Party are trying to do in the United States. The Trump administration was so desperate to prevent Orbán’s defeat that it sent J. D. Vance to ask Hungarians to “stand for Western civilization” and “freedom, for truth and for the God of our fathers.” Few vice presidents have more consistently debased the office, to the point that most people hardly noticed that Vance had praised as godly a man who publicly condemned “race mixing.”
It's not the MOST pathetic thing Vance has done, but him going to Hungary to applaud man who condemned "race mixing" is absolutely wretched (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I don't see it happening without a constitutional amendment. Appealing concept though
