A new report on civic freedoms concludes that "the US is no longer a functional democracy."
Congrats everyone. And a *special* congrats to the Harpers letter signatories, free-speech warriors, and "anti-woke" crusaders. You saved us from woke! Great work.

Please don’t scroll past this.
I’m a mother in Gaza, and my daughter Alma is growing weaker from hunger and sickness.
Each night she asks me for food I don’t have.
Your kindness could give her a meal, warmth, or a chance to keep fighting.
If your heart still feels, please help us survive.

Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the nominal progressives get out of here with your ignorant Tipper Gore bullshit challenge
Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.
This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

"Canada's safer for trans people" WHERE? WHERE IS SAFE FOR TRANS PEOPLE? Good lord this is horrifying.
Overnight, past 2 a.m., the Alberta United Conservative Party passed Bill 9, a bill to **strip away the right to life of trans youth** in order to impose on them a gender-affirming care ban.
