Shout out to Miranda Bridges, a caregiver from Moses Lake, Washington and proud member of @seiu775.org, who spoke truth to power today at a press conference about a bill to support home care workers.

Letโ€™s keep fighting. Letโ€™s keep winning!

Volodymyr Zelensky put it plainly.

โ€œRussia has started supporting the Iranian regime with drones," the Ukraine president said. "It will definitely help with missiles, and it is also helping them with air defense.โ€

ProPublica Wins Lawsuit Over Access to Court Records in U.S. Navy Cases A judge ruled that the Navyโ€™s long-standing policy to withhold records from its criminal trials violated the First Amendment.

โ€œThis is a landmark victory for transparency,โ€ ProPublicaโ€™s lawyer said. โ€œThe Navy was allowed to prosecute our service members in secret for far too long, but that ends now.โ€

Welcome to the Era of the AI-Powered War Machine How a clique of unhinged techno-optimists is putting humanity at risk.

This is not your fatherโ€™s military-industrial complex. Its development that augurs not just a change in technology or business practices, but a potential culture shift in which militarism is openly celebrated.

Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Hereโ€™s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Mother of wounded Maya Gebala sues OpenAI over mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge,ย B.C. The family the girl critically injured in the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., has launched a civil court lawsuit against artificial intelligence firm OpenAI.

OpenAI helped a teen plan a mass shooting at a Canadian high school.

The conversations were flagged and reviewed by staff, but upper management declined to involve law enforcement.

Multiple children lost their lives because the company chose profit over people.

So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?

no?

Well, let's put the whole "remember your oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest. The military isn't saving us.

Russia preparing the legal framework for global military action.

A new bill would allow Putin to deploy Russian forces outside Russiaโ€™s borders to โ€œprotect Russian citizens
abroad.โ€

Same pretext used in Crimea.

Same language used before Georgia.

Same playbook again

Chaos, instability, doubt, lies, deception, mayhem, corruption, theft of natural resources and taxpayers hard earned cash, oppression and destruction, you would think that is how the Islamic Republic has been governing Iran for all these years, but so has the USA!

Donald Trump endorses Jake Paul at a rally, with a cheering crowd in the background and campaign signs visible.

The right is replacing public service with influencer brain rot, corruption, and permanent spectacle. A guy tied to SEC crypto charges and riot-related FBI headlines is now the kind of person Trump thinks should govern.

Rotten from top to bottom.

when almost the entirety of their voter base is against it?

I mean, I get corruption. But Damn! Thatโ€™s basically political suicide.
