Experts say we have months not years to organize the type of mass protest needed to avoid authoritarianism and fascist rule taking hold in the United States.

And what is Congress doing? Introducing a repeal of Section 230, the law that underpins all free speech on the Internet

This is important. 🚨

If Section 230 is repealed, it means we lose our core tools of protest. No more No Kings, no more @Indivisible or @50501 or ICE out of Home Depot coordinating across the country.

In our latest, we look back at 2025, a year where normalization slipped into naturalization, as a cadre of villains who rose to prominence on the back of covid denial took the reins of the federal government to play out their revenge fantasies.

It’s Covid Year Six.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

A recent study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live.

When I asked
how her last day went
the masked professor told me
that many students
had said kind words,
but what had mattered most,
what had made it all worth it:
was that her masked student
(her only masked student)
had told her that her class
had made them feel less alone.
