Resistance is NOT futile.

Democracy and the Rule Of Law are necessary conditions for all the other good things that we might hope for.

After Tierra Walker died, her family was confused by her medical care.

“They didn’t want to offer to end the pregnancy, because the government or someone says you can’t?” her aunt said. “So you’d rather let somebody die?”

Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

How out of touch does one have to be to blame consumers for not spending money they don’t have?

One of whom presented a Russian capitulation document as a US peace plan. That’s the headline. We need headlines that are true and not news jargon that washes out the basic facts.
President Donald Trump’s demand that Ukraine sign a deal by Thanksgiving appears to have softened as he leaves some of the most important details of the peace plan in the hands of his envoys, one of whom was just embroiled in a high-profile phone leak. https://wapo.st/481ZdYG

Envoy Steve Witkoff, who in new phone leaks appears to have advised Russia on negotiations, heads to Moscow next week to discuss the peace plan.

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…

Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

I'm tired of responding to bad-faith MAGA outrage, which always distracts corporate media, centrists, & those who feel they must indulge their temper tantrums.

They're blaming all of us now for the National Guard shooting.

Just say:

"Fuck Off, Release the Epstein Files, and Happy Thanksgiving."

Why did Trump invite a man who shot the National Guard?

Am I doing this right, MAGA? I am, right? I'm following your logic.

So, yeah, Donald Trump should be blamed entirely.

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.

He betrayed his oath as a doctor and voluntarily supported a man whose insane policies will kill children, all for the sake of power, MAGA, and politics.

I hope he is shamed for life.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
