This magazine is old enough to have fought McCarthyism the first time. We know from experience that America’s witch-hunt fever has been broken before. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We Defeated McCarthyism Before. We Can Do It Again.

It’s easy to feel despair about what looks like a new age of government censorship. But being around for 160 years gives you perspective.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

According to puppy-killer Noem, ICE captured the ex-girlfriend of a founder Antifa , which started in the 1930s in the Weimar Republic, opposing the Nazis. THEIR BULLSHIT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

If Republicans let the Obamacare credits expire, their polling show they lose but is Speaker Johnson opens the House than the Epstein files will be subpoenaed.
They’re terrified of releasing the Epstein files.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

Biden negotiated a ceasefire and the release of 120 hostages. Trump got a tiny deal with only 20 hostages released.
Biden deserves the peace prize because he had much , harder deal🍆🍆🍆

Kamala May Have Won.
Indications Of Elections Fraud

The missing votes uncovered in Smart Elections’ legal case in Rockland County, New York, are just the tip of the iceberg—an iceberg that extends across the swing states and into Texas.

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

Trump’s clearly violated the law by with his full govt. propaganda effort blaming Democrats for Billionaire pedo bill.
The country’s run by a bunch of small-brained, chickenshit dumbass Conservative Christian criminals. They warped tge Gospel into their thievish worldview.

Let's get this straight: Speaker Johnson canceled session and refuses to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th signer of the discharge petition to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Bring us back in session, release the files, and let's open the government.
