“It’s time to wake the fuck up”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

Jennifer Welch: “There is credible information in the Epstein Files by a 13-year-old girl, she claims under oath that she was assaulted by the sitting president. All these MAGA Christians, Erika Kirk and her harem of pro-pedophilia women never speak out for victims of sexual assault. They never speak out about crime when it’s one of their own because they believe in nothing other than white men getting power”

This is Sad!

For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery.

Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down.

Why? Because the ceremony recognized women.

This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation.

Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway.

We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸

Imagine an underwater Grand Canyon where corals have been growing since before the United States was founded. 🐠

Plunged in total darkness. Untouched. Protected.

Until one signature changed everything.

On February 6, 2026, that's exactly what happened.

The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is bigger than Yellowstone.

Its submarine canyons drop into depths we're still mapping. There are sea creatures here science hasn't even named yet.

It’s underwater mountains — millions of years old, rise from the ocean floor, drawing sperm whales and endangered right whales from miles away.

The cold-water corals living here? Some have been growing for over a thousand years. A trawl net destroys them in seconds. They don't grow back in our lifetimes.

The monument was created in 2016 for one reason — to keep this ecosystem off limits from exactly this kind of destruction.

It worked. Until February.

One person. One signature. Zero public input. No congressional vote. No comment period. Just a proclamation — and a thousand-year-old ecosystem lost its protection overnight.

Proclamation 11009 — "Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Atlantic"— erased the ban overnight. Trawl gear, dredges, otter nets. Now permitted inside monument boundaries.

And here's the part that should make you angry — this administration tried this exact move in 2020. Conservation groups sued. They won. Biden restored protections.

Now we're back here.

How many more monuments have to lose their protections before Congress does something? 🐠

Thousands of people detained by ICE are actually held in local, publicly operated jails.

These facilities–run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of the federal government's deportation agenda.

Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

Men tend to choose higher paying careers like doctor, engineer, lawyer, or CEO.

While women tend to choose lower paying careers like female doctor, female engineer, female lawyer, or female CEO.

En las minas de oro de Ghana, estas son las condiciones en la que los esclavos extraen el mineral para las grandes multinacionales capitalistas; descalzos y tiritando de frío, se cubren con bolsas de la lluvia.

El capitalismo no es "tener un Iphone", es el saqueo imperialista y la esclavitud de pueblos enteros en África para que en Occidente los señoritos burgueses lleven oros y diamantes.

George Orwell’s 1984 was published today in 1949.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Congress thinks $83 an hour isn’t enough for them…
but $7.25 an hour is enough for you.
That’s not public service. That’s class warfare.

BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.

This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.

This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.

Trump's Justice Department has seemingly refused all election integrity measures for the upcoming midterms.

The admin has canceled election integrity training, deleted a prosecution guide for election infractions, and does not appear to be appointing an Election Crimes branch director.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

@ChicagoBears Im so sad for Bears fans and the people of Chicago. Nothing is sacred anymore. All is done for the almighty dollar. We have so lost our way.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump’s billionaire allies already control:

CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 450 local TV stations, including news, in 95% of U.S. markets.

X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

His administration will now try to control AI companies.

They’ll make sure Trump’s lies are legitimized and the truth is always questioned.

This is the authoritarian playbook for the modern age.
