Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

One of the things I love most about Zohran’s rise to power is that it shows so clearly how we could have a better democracy—one that actually serves us instead of just the rich—if the left decides collectively to take electoralism and government seriously. It’s ours for the taking if we want it.

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

Lots of us pitched in on this fight, not knowing if a win was possible. It was!

A goblet of ice water, a rather strong margarita with a lime and two swizzle sticks, a dish of salsa, a basket of tortilla chips and a green plate filled with three fish tacos, heaps of rice and black beans and various condiments including lime slices and green salsa. It was all as yummy as it looks.

I took myself out for fish tacos and margaritas tonight and it was one of the better decisions I made today 👍

No War With Iran (UPDATED 4/7) ⭑ 5 Calls Updates April 7, 2026: Trump has openly threatened to obliterate “a whole civilization” if Iran does not agree to a deal. Given these repeated, …

Good morning! ☀️

Nothing pairs better with a cup of coffee ☕️ than calling @schumer.senate.gov to remind him he works for taxpayers and has an actual job to do!

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” ― Edgar Mitchell Image: Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

I think what I find even funnier is so many of the "calm down" people don't realize that maybe freaking the country out is a good way to get him gone. You're tired of low info voters deciding the future of the country? Me too! Maybe tell them what's really on the table and they'll take it seriously

Is no elected official even going to move to impeach here?

The dying pedophile in charge of the U.S. government is threatening to destroy a civilization in an unconstitutional war of aggression launched for absolutely no reason.

If Republicans in Congress cared about America, or the constitution, or anything, they’d stop this. They believe in nothing.

Once again we must ask, where in the world is Congress? They should be pursuing every action possible to rein in Trump's raging lunacy. How is there no sense of urgency? (2/3)

Trump on “Truth Social”: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Trump’s frenzied bloodlust must be stopped. Contact your elected officials and demand that they use every tool available to Congress to end the regime’s illegal war with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
