Elon Musk is now worth over $500 billion.

That means his net worth has gone up by $100 billion in less than a year.

Tax. The. Damn. Rich.

As America struggles, Donald Trump spent his weekend golfing at his Virginia country club while nearly two million federal workers either labor without pay or sit at home with empty accounts. He engineered this shutdown himself and now refuses to end it.

"If Kennedy and his allies truly want to Make America Healthy Again, they should start by regulating the industries that are making us sick."

Watch what they do, not what they say.
Plastic packaging is poisoning America, and MAGA is letting corporations off the hook
If MAHA and MAGA were serious about improving the health of Americans, they would stop gaslighting the public and start standing up to the corporations making us sick.

An image with words on a black background, mentioning that October 5-11 is banned books week, a reminder of the importance of pushing back against censorship and ignorant book bannings

"A war from within" ????

The President of the United States is openly talking about waging war against US cities because he doesn't like their mayors and governors.

This is how a dictator talks.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

It turns my stomach to hear the sanctimonious outpourings by politicians and religious leaders who peddle hate of asylum seekers, women, minorities and dissenters. Given credence by MSM.

MAGA Republicans have officially shut down the government.

The harm and chaos this is causing was completely avoidable.

Republicans must end their government shutdown now by passing a budget that protects health care and affirms Congress's power of the purse.

The sheer stupidity on display, paired with enthusiastic malice, really is exhausting. (The quote: James Baldwin, "No Name in the Street," published in 1972, page 149).
Quote by James Baldwin in capital letters on a light pink background, highlighting the words ignorance, power, and enemy: "Ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have." The quote is from Baldwin's book "No Name in the Street," NY Dial Press, page 149.
