Dr. Surapaneni spent last summer driving across America confirming a terrifying truth: fossil fuels are poisoning us. From a 60-acre toxic lake in Texas to communities suffocating under pollution, she saw the crisis that is killing an estimated 350,000 Americans yearly. psr.org/event/livest...

Do you feel safer that this administration has decided to bypass nuclear protocols in order to build a bunch of experimental nuclear reactors? Do you think they are competent to create a safe and successful program? 🗽

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

When we wake up and come to our senses and defund and demobilize ICE, WHO is going to take back all the military style arms and equipment? It’s likely these paramilitary gangs are going to be major problem for our society for years if we don’t take decisive action.

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. When the New START treaty expires next week, there will be nothing stopping a new nuclear arms race. Trump and Putin could agree today to stick with New START limits. We can turn back the clock.

Three years after his appointment as special counsel, Jack Smith finally delivered the legal argument against President Trump on Thursday that he was never allowed to make in court: that Trump "engaged in criminal activity" that undermined democracy.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.

That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.
