A judge once said any good prosecutor could indict a sandwich.

Well, the Trump DOJ just failed to indict someone for throwing one.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong.

If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

“Recently…RFK Jr. made false comments about autism, like people with autism are broken, that autism caused by vaccines, and that people with autism will never have jobs or families. But that’s not true!

A prominent Republican in power finally said it. The party is afraid of Trump.

They all know this is wrong.

Soon they will have to decide where their red line is, because they are complicit in these crimes now. Stand up before it's too late!

Trump’s EPA just launched the biggest attack on clean air and water in decades. Slashing pollution rules, gutting climate protections, and undermining basic science. They're trying to Make Pollution Great Again—and we can’t let it stand.

EPA takes aim at almost every major pollution rule in what environmentalists call act of ‘malice toward the planet’

When did doing the right thing become so political?

"The language of the lawsuit is quite clear. The fourth item under 'Demand for Relief' is 'Declare Section 504, 29 U.S.C. § 794, unconstitutional'"
17 States Sue To End Protections For Students With Special Needs
Section 504 of that act codified the civil rights of persons with disabilities. Sixteen states have joined Texas in a lawsuit asking the court to declare Section 504 unconstitutional.

When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism.

But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.
