No person of color is surprised by this.

We've all overhead things like this we weren't supposed to. At work, school, social situations.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

As Republicans attempt to whitewash history, it's the librarians who are defending the truth.

Director Kim Snyder’s new documentary “The Librarians” is incredible. We talk about the film & why targeting the truth-tellers is just the tip of the authoritarian iceberg.

I believe Trump’s aggressive moves in Latin America – bailing out Argentina, strong-arming Brazil, eyeing Venezuela's oil – are part of a grand scheme for a fascist U.S. to rule the Americas. It would be 1/3rd of an Axis of Evil, with China ruling Asia and Russia grabbing vulnerable parts of Europe.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said
Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
