Pro tip for covering pregnancy-related arrests: don't use the word 'infant' before finding out what actually happened. More often than not, these are miscarriages, but outlets will repeat the language cops use - smearing women in the process www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"In 2024, Norway exported a gas volume equivalent to more than 30 per cent of the total gas consumption in the EU and the United Kingdom... This makes oil and gas the most important export commodities in the Norwegian economy." If Nigeria did this kind of greenwashing I promise you'd move different

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

Trump just authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges - effectively doubling the bench overnight. Courts are supposed to be independent, not staffed by the Pentagon. This is how you turn immigration into a battlefield instead of due process.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
