Trump and Musk Are Strangling the Government HIV prevention is hampered. The social safety net is falling apart. Federal employees fear for their safety. And it’s only week three.

Nearly 800 prisoners now helping to battle Los Angeles fires Incarcerated firefighters working to battle the widespread Los Angeles brush fires are paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day, plus $1 for active emergencies.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.

Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.

A tale of two justice systems.

256,000 jobs were added in December.

President Biden is the only president in history who saw job growth every single month in his term.

Donald "Herbert Hoover" Trump had the worst job record in modern history.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how It sounds hyperbolic, but it's not

“There are five areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state, authoritarian expert Timothy Snyder writes: health, law, administration, defense & intelligence... each of these arenas, the goal is to create chaos — and yes, even death.”

Gonna try another old-Twitter-style thread, since the last one got a lot of engagement. This time about a topic some people have raised, but needs more attention: the likelihood that Trump's tariffs will become an engine of immense corruption 1/

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Israel’s true objective in northern Gaza? Removing Palestinians – and annexing the territory | Ben Reiff Settlers have been dreaming of a return to Gaza for nearly 20 years – and Trump’s presidency may only embolden them, says Ben Reiff of +972 magazine

45,000 Gazans dead. 90% of the living displaced. No one's been deceived. They've looked away.

"A senior IDF officer quietly admitted what the intl community has long been reluctant to acknowledge: that Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in N Gaza & deceiving the world abt its true objectives."
