Portrait of Jane Goodall, with quote text: We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.

“We can’t leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world’s people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.”

Blessed be your memory and legacy, Jane Goodall. We will do our best to continue the work.

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It. Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Uncooperative Federalism is here!

Here's How We Can Fight Back Against Trump Helping Sex-Trafficker Maxwell

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Blocking Medicaid recipients from using Planned Parenthood won't just hurt people on Medicaid. It'll also hurt people with private insurance by forcing centers to close (especially in rural communities), leading to care shortages and making it harder to access timely, affordable, high-quality care.

Trump Has a Pouty Party at His Military Parade Juxtaposed with more than 2,000 demonstrations against him

I wrote about Trump's pouty parade, juxtaposed by the millions who came to protests, and the dichotomies in his use of the military.

When nobody shows up to your birthday party

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

These 75 house Democrats broke with Hakeem Jeffries and voted to support a resolution expressing gratitude to ICE.

Iran's leadership is terrible but that doesn't excuse Israel being belligerent and unilaterally striking Iran before a planned talk to negotiate with the U.S.

Netanyahu has been itching for a war for nearly 25 years.

Also, doesnt Iran or any country have a right to respond to a strike?
