The number of times I said “what?!” out loud, for each picture, was comical. My voice got more incredulous with each “what?!”

BREAKING: We have now received 1200 signatures on our petition of Google workers demanding that the company cut its ties with DHS, CBP, and ICE.

Rep. Jamie Raskin now says Trump's name is mentioned "more than a million times" in the un-redacted version of the Epstein files that were released nearly two weeks ago.

This doesn't include the other three million files that have yet to be released.

A million times in the first 3.5 million files.

SAVE THE DATE: "Resist and Remember" protest and vigil on Sat Jan 31st from 5-6pm outside 401 Ogletown Rd in Newark. Join us on the right side of history resisting ICE's abuses. Honor the life of Alex Pretti. More info coming soon.

Thank you @mcbride.house.gov for voting NAY!

A splash of water. A pat of butter into the pan, swirl till it melts, pour in the eggs.

Secret Documents Show Pepsi and Walmart Colluded to Raise Food Prices Across the Economy The Trump FTC tried to hide a complaint showing Pepsi forced shoppers to pay higher prices everywhere but Walmart. But now it's unsealed. And the politics of affordability are explosive.

“The specifics in the complaint are that Pepsi keeps wholesale prices on its products high for every outlet but Walmart, and Walmart in return offers prominent placement in stores for Pepsi products.”

Trump quietly pardoning a dictator during the Thanksgiving break hoping no one would notice.

Trump announce Friday “… that he would pardon ex-President Juan Orlando #Hernández, who was serving a 45-year sentence in a U.S. prison for helping drug traffickers move cocaine to the [U.S.].” #honduras

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I'm voting Working Families Party

Hundreds of Working Families Party-endorsed candidates who will fight to make life more affordable and easier for regular people: wfpus.org/Candidates

It’s #TautonymTuesday! Meet 𝑆𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑎, the #angelshark. This critically #endangered species is a flat-bodied shark that resembles a ray, inhabiting sandy seabeds in the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean. #TaxonomyTuesday #Systematics #sharks Photo: Philippe Guillaume

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

For all everyone in MAGA hyping up how violent and poorly attended No Kings was gonna be, right now is like the day after “the rapture” last month. Be embarrassed, flops!

#NoKings Wilmington, DE

Reporter: “Do you support ICE?”
Mitch McConnell:

I’ve been saying the same for years. Age limits. Term limits.

Mitch McConnell reportedly fell again today in the Russell Senate Office Building basement. It’s the latest in a series of falls this year, raising fresh questions about fitness and accountability in a Senate led by politicians well into their 80s. How long can this go on?

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

I don't like "endorsing" stuff, especially when it cost money. But, I make nothing from this and I think it's important enough to be said. If you're using Signal, you should be using Threema. It's not tied to a phone number/email and the servers are in a Swiss nuclear bunker outside US jurisdiction.

A screenshot of a post by the Jane Goodall Institute on LinkedIn stating that they learned that Dr. Goodall passed away due to natural causes in California while on her speaking to her current speaking tour there.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

To track a unicorn: Laos team goes all out to find the last saolas Few people have the opportunity to meet near-mythical beasts in real life — but Rob Timmins has. He’s one of the few biologists ever to spend time with a saola, a wild ox once known as the “Asian…

An intensive search is underway in Laos to find perhaps the most threatened large mammal on the planet: the saola ox.

Conservationists warn that extinction is “inevitable” without an intensive push to study remaining individuals and start a conservation breeding program to revive the species.

I really don't want to get on Dems too much, but I can't help looking at Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries and think that they're wholly unsuited to meet the moment.

This isn't normal politics. You’re the resistance to a fascist regime and if you can't do it, step aside.

Cue Stewart, Colbert, Oliver, or a whole heap of the other Daily Show alumni.

Defend America’s Backcountry Forests: Protect the Roadless Rule The USDA just announced plans to rescind the Roadless Rule, putting 45 million acres of backcountry forests at risk. Submit your comment by Sept. 19.

Help defend 45 million acres of your National Forests! If you like clean air and water, and access to outdoor recreation, the USDA needs to hear from you.

The planned rescission of the Roadless Rule would roll back protections for 25,121 miles of trails, 8,659 climbing routes, and 768 river miles.
