I'll be honest: I'm conflicted on Mercosur.

While it would be a disaster for South American nature, Trump's fascist imperialism demands such unity.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

ICE is flagrantly violating the 4th amendment.

But no matter what the article implies, you still have the right to refuse ICE entry into your home without a judicial warrant.

We don’t just give up our rights because ICE claims they have impunity to break any law they want.

There are likely fewer than 200 adult #Florida panthers left in the wild.

To protect them from a massive new development in their occupied breeding habitat, conservation groups just notified Fish & Wildlife Service and others of their intent to file suit in federal court.

While a mad man is threatening our allies, attacking and giving the middle finger to our own citizens, and ruining the economy, please remember that the Epstein files full release are now 32 days past due. Out of sight, out of mind? Not for me.

Uphold the law!

Rep. Summer Lee is spot on.

“The DOJ has been required to turn over the full Epstein files since August.

They handed over one percent. Heavily redacted.
Now that same subpoena is being used to hold the Clintons in contempt for what the DOJ itself is violating.”

The Central Arctic Ocean is the last ocean with year-round sea ice — and a refuge for ice-dependent life.

With the High Seas Treaty now in force, there’s a real opportunity to protect this fragile ecosystem before industrial pressures grow.

Here's why this matters AND what’s at stake. 👇

Would you want a robot for OB-GYN care?

Dr. Oz says yes for maternity deserts. But robots can’t answer questions or comfort patients.

Dobbs helped create these deserts by driving doctors out. This is the outcome.
