UPDATE: L.L.Bean YOUR voices were heard.
After significant pushback from the outdoor community, L.L. Bean is joining the Save the Forest Service movement. Their LinkedIn statement says it all:
Last year, this same coalition of outdoor brands used their collective power to pressure Congress into removing a provision from the Senate Reconciliation Bill that would have sold off millions of acres of federal public land. They stopped it.
That’s what organized business pressure can do. This administration doesn’t speak the language of conservation or public values. They speak the language of money and business interests. So that’s exactly the language we’re using.
When REI, Patagonia, Columbia, and dozens of other major brands walk into Congressional offices (representing 72,000 employees and over $20 billion in revenue) that lands differently.
Nearly 9 million voters in West Bengal—about 12% of the electorate—have been removed from electoral rolls ahead of state elections after an AI-driven revision flagged “discrepancies,” triggering fears of mass disenfranchisement and democratic erosion.

When a sitting governor invokes the 25th Amendment, this stops being rhetoric and starts sounding like institutional alarm. Congress cannot look away. If credible concerns about capacity exist, constitutional duty requires action, not convenient silence.
Betrayal dressed as bureaucracy: survivors were promised truth, not redacted excuses. Years later, nothing left to release sounds less like closure and more like concealment. Transparency is not paperwork, it is accountability, and this reeks of a managed cover-up.
The so-called Save America Act isn’t protection—it’s exclusion dressed up as policy. When laws quietly redraw who belongs, democracy isn’t strengthened, it’s hollowed out. Silence enables it. Speak, organize, and push back before rights become privileges.
Khanna: We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. If the US Congress has any life left in it, every Member of Congress must be calling for Trump's removal from office. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.
Sen. Mark Warner: We used to be proud of a president the world listened to. Now we have Trump talking about “blowing up an Iranian civilization” and setting random deadlines. No one knows what he’ll do—maybe not even him.
Trump's nominee to be Fed chair is married to the billionaire Estee Lauder heiress.
Whose interests do you think he's gonna represent?

No one should be surprised any longer. It was evident years and years ago that anyone who was a trump supporter was disgusting by definition. I refuse to listen to any excuses. From anyone.
Too many Democrats have been too timorous. It's not enough to have one billionaire Dem complain. Where are the Clintonista bribe takers like Schumer and Pelosi? On the sidelines, afraid complaining will jeopardize their campaign contributions. The embedded wealthy have bought them.
Release the #EpsteinFiles
Invoke the #25thAmendment
Calling for impeachment isn’t theatrics, it’s a constitutional remedy when executive power veers into recklessness. War powers votes can restrain actions; removal addresses the source. A democracy cannot outsource accountability while the stakes are human lives.
Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes.
The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.
NEW: Republicans (and Fetterman) just BLOCKED a war powers resolution in the Senate. Rand Paul voted with all Democrats. Senate Republicans (and Fetterman) are now on record in support of this illegal war.
Sen. Ed Markey: A war power's resolution is not enough. Congress must come back, impeach Trump, and the Senate must remove him—immediately.
Gov. JB Pritzker is escalating his warning—calling for Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment and saying “something is genuinely wrong with this man.” The calls are getting louder.
A disgusting betrayal of survivors: after years of promises, they still say there’s nothing left to release while hiding behind paperwork and spin. If this is “transparency,” it’s a cover-up with a press office.
The so-called “Save America Act” threatens our rights, freedoms, and future. We can’t stay silent while democracy is dismantled. Speak up, organize, and contact your representatives—time is running out. Act now before it’s too late. Text SAVE to 63033 & call your MOC. SHARE
Olivia Troye sat inside Trump’s White House, saw everything, testified against him, and didn’t break.
Now she’s running for Congress in Virginia, as a Democrat.
He should be very, very nervous.
CoreCivic medical staff repeatedly delayed care for Lucia, who was bleeding heavily in the first trimester of her pregnancy. They finally sent her to a hospital with her arms and legs in shackles. But it was too late.
Todd Blanche demonstrates just how far someone hungry for power can fall...even when where they started from was already pretty damn low.
"Immigrant culture is American culture,” and honestly this hits. Our food, our music, our neighborhoods, our stories — they’re all stitched together from people who came here and made something new. That mix is the whole point. That’s the beauty. That's America.
The USS George H.W. Bush is sailing around the tip of Africa right now... toward a war zone...carrying 6,000 Americans. A third carrier. 10,000 more troops arriving before April 22nd. That's the ceasefire deadline. Do the math. Full breakdown at the link.
