Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
According the AG Blanche, “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” This is some whacked out far-right fantasy. Hard to imagine this theory will hold up in court, but the lives of paid informants who infiltrated hate groups will be at risk.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.
No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
The number of angry messages I got from insecure men on my article demanding men be accountable for rape culture & 'Rape Academy' reminds me to share my article repeatedly.
Men: Stop being insecure. Stop being pathetic. Start holding rapists accountable.

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden."
"People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"
The Covid discourse in some people’s minds forget that a LOT of people died, a LOT that survived now have long covid, and that a LOT of disabled people have been housebound because Covid will absolutely kill us and a LOT of other people won’t get vaccinated.
At this point, all illusions that Trump’s America would help Ukraine have dissolved. But most people don’t realize how deeply the current administration is steeped in pro-Russian sentiment & activities.
Here’s a quick look. Trump administration & their pro-Russia or anti-Ukraine positions:
Beer + testosterone + willful idiocy?

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.
Reminder that Louisiana does NOT have universal background checks or red flag laws.
The state DOES have the site of the most recent mass shooting that stole the lives of eight young kids. Louisiana leaders must act now to pass the laws proven to save lives.
This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.
The SAVE Act has officially died in the Senate.
Good fucking riddance.
Women shouldn't have to do one extra thing more than a man to vote.
Want voter ID? Great. Issue it to every voter for free.
Voting is a right.
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
❤️ I loved your post so much for the fun of it in a bleak AF world. Found replies stating how & why the song couldn’t be “lesbian” rather limiting (& additionally bleak). So this dyke enjoyed very much highlighting an obvious inclusive interpretation. Desire doesn’t fit neatly into neat & tidy boxes…
As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.
War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. The Iranian regime is still firing on ships. Trump has accomplished nothing.
Just FYI.
Mass shooting in Winston Salem NC kills 2 kids and 8 injured Schools nearby all went on lockdown all day! Not even a blip on the radar really. 😔🤷🏻♀️ #NC #NCpol wlos.com/news/local/m...
Imagine if America was made to really understand the pervasiveness of “domestic violence” and what fuels it. This country will never acknowledge the prevalence of “family annihilation”—also overwhelmingly committed by men.

If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

We don't know which Cabinet secretary will be forced to resign next, but we know it'll be either Brooke Rollins or Linda McMahon because they're the last two women left.
