Trump would rather release fake evidence of UFOs than real unredacted Epstein Files.

He’d rather spend billions to eliminate Iran over an imagined nuclear program than spend a fraction of that to eliminate poverty here at home.

He’d rather prosecute Comey over a made up threat while pardoning 1600 violent convicted insurrectionists.

Fascists will spare no expense to avoid accountability and advance autocracy.

The Virginia Supreme Court decision to strike down the will of the people is just one example of the two-tiered system destroying our country.

Gerrymandering is a cancer, but it’s just the beginning. Here are the receipts on how the GOP is planning to steal the 2026 election and install fascism in America — and how we can organize to fight back.

BREAKING: Nebraska becomes first state to enact work requirements for Medicaid recipients. MAGAs claim this will "cut waste, fraud, and abuse." This is the "Big Beautiful Bill" to cut Medicaid afford giving billionaires $2.1T in tax cuts.

Every study & implementation of work requirements ever done shows it saves no money and instead leads to immense harm and death. The Urban Institute estimates 10M people losing Medicaid by 2028.

This will kill people. The term for this is Structural Eugenics.

A friendly reminder that the people who:
•banned Black people from reparations, schools, military, GI bill, & FHA loans
•who lynched & are now locking Latinos into putrid concentration camps
•who locked Japanese people into camps & banned all Asian immigration
•who broke every single treaty with Native Americans while committing genocide
•And who are now gutting laws that helped counter that harm & passing laws to ban teaching that history...

They want you to stop making everything about race.😐

BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla reports that last night Israeli naval forces intercepted, boarded, and disabled and destroyed various boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in a violent raid in international waters.

They attacked 180 civilians, illegally detained and kidnapped several participants, jammed communications, and smashed an engine, leaving civilians stranded on powerless vessels.

These are international crimes. The sustained Global silence from world leaders is indefensible.

My sources are telling me that the IDF is actively engaging and attacking civilian flotillas trying to get aid to Gaza.

Yet another violation of the ceasefire. Yet another violation of international law. Yet another act by the Israeli government that the United States and Europe will likely ignore while lecturing everyone on human rights. smh

The Florida House just passed this racist, gerrymandered map. A Democratic State Rep in Florida — Angie Nixon — spoke up to stop this unconstitutional vote. #CourageNow

Rep. Angie Nixon is running for U.S. Senate. She is the kind of fighter we need.

This is horrifying and barely getting media coverage.

Trump set April 30 as a deadline for the Zambian Govt. They must either accept Trump's new health funding agreement to have access to critical AIDS meds—and thus give the USA expanded access to its precious mineral resources like copper, lithium, and cobalt—or let its citizens die due to lack of vital AIDS medications.

Zambia is 98% Christian. Christians will die as a result of Trump's extortion. Notice how MAGA is wholly silent? Barbaric.

Acting AG Todd Blanche is indicting Comey for a stupid Instagram post.

AG Merrick Garland refused to prosecute Trump despite a deadly insurrection to violently overthrow the US Government.

I hope Garland knows that history will remember him as the feckless Federalist coward whose commitment to “norms” helped hasten fascism.

Corporate media won't tell you this: my own congressman, Corporate Dem Bill Foster, issued a press release saying he has an "open mind" about Trump's pick for Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh.

A man in the Epstein files 500 times. An election denier. One of the architects of the 2008 financial collapse. No Illinois newspaper has touched this story.

This is why independent media matters more than ever. Accountable to the people, not billionaires. Let's Address This. https://lets-address-this-with-qasim-rashid.ghost.io/the-rise-of-independent-media-and-why-the-powerful-are-terrified-of-it/

These Afghans did everything right. They followed the law to the letter. They supported US Servicemembers. They went through vetting. They passed all security clearances.

Trump is still blocking them. Absolute fascism. https://youtube.com/shorts/OZw74VI2d4I?si=2OVMI8GtIqjgrthd

BREAKING: Republican appointed Virginia Judge Jack Hurley has struck down Virginia's successful redistricting amendment, ruling it void ab initio, i.e. void from the start, and therefore unconstitutional.

Virginia AG Jay Jones is appealing, and while it should be overturned on appeal given this was the will of voters, keep in mind nothing is a sure bet in these odd times. We'll know more soon but as of now, the new maps are banned.

MAGAs lie when they claim they just want "legal immigration." No—they want to ban all non-white immigration. Trump is planning to force Afghans who risked their lives to aid US forces against the Taliban to either live under the Taliban where they'll be executed, or go to the Congo. Beyond absurd.

These Afghans did everything right. They followed the law down to the letter. They supported US Servicemembers. They went through vetting. They passed all security clearances. Trump still blocked them

MAGA Sycophant Elise Stefanik says that college students chanting "from the river to the sea" is an open call for genocide against Jewish people, but Trump's threat that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," is mere diplomacy against Iranians.

So a chant by helpless college students that also appears in the Likud charter is suddenly genocide, but a threat as civilization-wide death by the guy who has the nuclear codes is "diplomacy."

Reprehensible hypocrisy.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman.

Yes, that's the point.

It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

For the first time in New York State history: a tax on pied-à-terres.

NYC Mayor Mamdani just negotiated a landmark agreement, any second home in NYC valued at $5M+ will now be taxed at a higher rate. This means money back to the people, not billionaires who treat the city like a luxury storage unit.

100 days in. That is all it took. And here’s how we must keep building.

Despite Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, these 7 Democratic Senators voted AGAINST a resolution to block sale of weapons to Israel:

🔵Richard Blumenthal (CT)
🔵Chris Coons (DE)
🔵Catherine Cortez-Masto (NV)
🔵John Fetterman (PA)
🔵Kristen Gillibrand (NY)
🔵Jacky Rosen (NV)
🔵Chuck Schumer (NY)

Vote these 7 fascists out permanently.

Senate rejected the vote 59-40. But a record 40 Democratic Senators voted to block the sale. Change is coming.

BREAKING: Virginia just now passed legislation ending tax breaks for white supremacist Confederate groups—even though the Civil War ended 161 years ago.

But remember, reparations for Black people are unrealistic, unfair, and unwarranted—after all the Civil War ended 161 years ago.

Tax breaks for white supremacist terrorists who enslaved Black people are great, but reparations to Black people harmed by enslavement are bad.

This is what systemic white supremacy in 2026 America looks like.

Chamel Abdul Karim allegedly filmed himself burning a Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, CA. $750 million in damage. Ironically identical to what it would cost Kimberly-Clark to pay their 38,000 workers enough to live.

In human rights law, this is called structural violence. Institutions denying people what they need to survive, just as surely as physical force.

We criminalize Chamel’s response to that violence. We have not criminalized the violence itself.

Right after he violently threatens, then doubles down on attacking Pope Leo, Donald Trump posts an image of himself as Jesus Christ. If you’re somehow still following this man, you are in a cult. Smh
