Douglas Tompkins, founder of North Face began buying land in Patagonia, not to build resorts or profit from it but to protect it. Over the years, he and his wife Kristine bought over 2.4 million acres of wilderness. #goodworksmatter

Yes, the super rich keep wanting more and they have been working non-stop on weakening the state to have their way. It's ironic that working folks got tricked into supporting them... Hello there, it's not trickling down. They must be drinking from a straw - lol. That's why nothing spills over. Smh!

Journalist @davidsirota.com says that while the U.S. is "immersed in corruption" in a way that feels inevitable, it is the result of a decadeslong "master plan" by the wealthy to deregulate campaign finance and weaken anti-bribery laws.

We asked Donald Trump to cut health care costs. Instead, he cut off a wing of the White House.

Senior Advisor Stephen Miller claimed the president has "absolute plenary power" as commander in chief—a term meaning complete, unqualified authority. Critics argue this rhetoric signals authoritarian tendencies and a disregard for constitutional balances.

A major immigration raid in Chicago last week led to dozens of arrests, including of green card holders and U.S. citizens. While the Trump administration has released a highly produced video of the raid, it still has not answered basic questions about the operation.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Haïti n’est pas tombée par hasard. Depuis Duvalier jusqu’au PHTK, puissances étrangères et élites locales ont utilisé propagande, corruption et mensonges pour écraser l’espoir du peuple. La vérité est dure, mais c’est elle seule qui peut rendre au pays sa dignité. ✊🏽🇭🇹
