Analogies are never perfect, but this one is instructive. If you’ll indulge me:

What would you call it if a German government ordered books from Jewish authors removed for being “subversive” and “anti-German” while having no problem with white supremacist literature?

Because that’s what this is.
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

This evening, every Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee backed the nomination of MAGA wingnut climate denier Brooke Rollins for Secretary of Agriculture, who admitted to a lack of basic knowledge of the department's workings. Every. Single. One.

DOGE personnel have completely shut down a congressionally mandated federal agency, they're pilfering through the U.S. Treasury as I type and House Democratic leadership is at an event telling the audience how much they love Israel.

These are not our leaders. Look to state and local officials.
Meanwhile…

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic reps Jerry Nadler, George Latimer, and Laura Gillen are at a Jewish Community Relations Council event talking about bipartisan support for Israel.

"The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years."

The federal funding freeze will be catastrophic for everyone.

There are immediate and long-term impacts across housing, healthcare, employment, education, retail, food, public services, and more.

Tell your elected official to fight the freeze immediately.

Heating assistance threatened.

Federal funds impact every aspect of people’s lives across this country and in the #MA7.

This isn't just unlawful and unconstitutional—it is wholesale harm that could cost people their lives and livelihoods.

🛑 What can YOU do?

✅ Boycott Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco gas stations.
✅ Send a message to Chevron’s CEO demanding accountability.
✅ Join or organize protests to amplify the pressure.
🌍 Together, we’ve already forced cities to divest and Chevron to face public backlash.

🚨 Boycott Chevron: A Weekend of Action is Here! 🚨

Big Oil is fueling more than cars—they’re fueling genocide and climate destruction. From January 31 to February 2, we’re turning up the heat on Chevron, the corporation supplying Israel’s apartheid regime with energy and revenue.
