DHS is preparing to blast canyons & bulldoze roads through thousands of years of human history along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park—where virtually nobody is crossing.

In Arizona, just a month ago, they destroyed a 1,000-year-old sacred site and faced no consequences.

Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

En Las Vegas (EEUU), miembros de seguridad racistas del aeropuerto, obligaron a un joven negro discapacitado en silla de ruedas a mantenerse de pie por sí solo para registrarle, ocasionándole convulsiones e ingreso en el hospital.

Estos son los controles del Mundial de EEUU, segu-ratas racistas que creen que todos los negros esconden droga y que no dejan entrar a árbitros somalíes porque creen que son todos terroristas.

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right?

So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing.

The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

Richland parish says some of its teachers will receive bonuses of more than $50,000 due to increased tax revenue linked to a Meta data center. The parish brought in $42.9 million in sales & use tax for the first 9 months of the current fiscal year. Meta paid $22.4 million in May.

People, please call your Repub politicians & raise hell. They've hidden an amend in a wildfire bill that allows them to get rid of the roadless law that stops them from mining, logging, road construction, and the selling of 59 million acres of our nat'l forests & Parks. Stop them

[Sammi🦋 @StoriesBySammi]

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

Three Black men were exonerated after spending nearly 30 years in prison for the 1997 killing of a Philadelphia woman, despite no physical evidence tying them to the crime. Prosecutors said the case relied on unreliable eyewitness testimony and flawed forensic findings. This is why we keep demanding truth, accountability, and justice in a system that too often steals the futures of our people. Wrongful convictions destroy families, rob generations, and can never truly be repaid.

UnitedHealth continuously denied rehab care for seniors on Medicare Advantage recovering from surgery. But when patients appealed, they reversed 99.7% of denials.

So they knew the denials were wrong, they just hoped people wouldn't fight back.

That's a predatory business model. No more profit-driven claim denials: we need Medicare for All.

“White supremacy has infiltrated the Black community with a narrative that Palestine don’t got nothing to do with us. And that’s a lie from the pit of hell.”

Community organizer Erica Nanton explains how police repression on the south side of Chicago is connected to the genocide in Palestine.

Nanton spoke as part of a press conference following a hearing on HB2723, an Illinois bill that seeks to repeal the 2015 anti-BDS bill signed by then-Governor Bruce Rauner. That law made it illegal for pensions to invest in companies that boycott Israel, effectively holding companies hostage to doing business with Israel under the threat of losing hundreds of millions of dollars in pension investments.
