Remember this is who you're fighting for. A beautiful, healthy planet.

This applies to telling fat/misogynistic/racist jokes as if they suddenly became acceptable because of the target.

There is a certain kind of abuser who sure does love to wrap themselves in the language of social justice as they leverage all of their identity privilege against folks from exactly the group they put on a show white knighting for

The administration’s attack against the SPLC is a direct threat to the values that make America great. Their work fighting hate, racism, and injustice in the American South has played a critical role in strengthening the civil rights of millions.

An obscure contracting method allowed ICE to secretly buy a warehouse in Maryland The method could be repeated across the U.S.

“DHS then uses its roster of pre-approved military vendors through WEXMAC, KVG LLC in the case of the Western Maryland facility, to award a contract to refit the building without following the usual procurement rules asking for public comment.”

Happy #EarthDay y’all 🫶

We won. 💪

Virginia voters showed up and shut down Trump’s power grab loud and clear. They tried to rig the rules. We used our votes to take the power right back and protect fair maps. This is what it looks like when we fight back — and win.

Statement from Kimberlé Crenshaw, co-founder and executive director of AAPF: Civil rights must be fought for, protected and sustained in order for all people to live freely and in democracy. Only authoritarians would try to attack and intimidate organizations committed to justice and civil rights. Today's announcement from the Department of Justice that it has criminally charged the Southern Poverty Law Center is alarming and yet only the latest sign that this administration is weaponizing the DOJ to target its perceived enemies as opposed to maintaining its essential function in upholding the law. AAPF stands with the SPLC and with all those committed to justice. We will not be intimidated.

AAPF stands with @splcenter.org.

For civil rights. For justice. For democracy.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld a Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.

This is important and shocking news from NYT.

And it doesn’t mention the DRC third-country deportation program has already begun. ICE sent 15 immigrants from Latin American countries there five days ago.

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

Gallego: "You said…Trump never demanded you cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony?"

Warsh: "That is."

Gallego: "Someone here is lying then, it's either you or President Trump."

Sen. Warren: "Did Trump lose the 2020 election?"

Kevin Warsh: "Um, we try to keep politics, if I'm confirmed, out of the Federal Reserve."

Warren: "I'm just asking a factual question."

Warsh: "I believe that this body certified that election."
