Protesters decry ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ ICE facility in the Everglades The proposed Everglades development, adjacent to federally protected land, would be the largest immigration detention center in Florida

“[The government has] no legitimate authority to say that anyone’s illegal on stolen land.”

The development of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ in the Everglades makes a mockery of the human life in the area, says Miccosukee elder Betty Osceola.

Social Security Chief Celebrates Budget Bill That Could Slash Program’s Finances The bill will accelerate depletion of Social Security and Medicare’s trust funds by a year, according to an analysis.

According to the latest Social Security Board of Trustees report the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund will be able to pay out 100% of benefits until 2033. Thereafter, if lawmakers don’t act, the fund will be able to pay out 77% of total scheduled benefits.

Supreme Court upholds program providing internet access to rural Americans Conservative groups challenged the program, contending that Congress exceeded its powers in enacting legislation that delegated to the FCC the task of operating the Universal Service Fund.

Lot of bad stuff out of the Supreme Court today but protecting and expanding access to internet in rural communities is actually good.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests

It's not like the American public is clamoring for this, and it will remain inaccessible to >99% of the population. The point here is to spoil millions of acres of forest as an excuse to hand money to a handful of rich people who own companies that build/supply remote roads.

Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the Clinton-era rule barring road construction and logging was outdated and “absurd.”

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

If Zohran wins tomorrow, Cuomo will run as an independent with the most racist Islamaphobic campaign you've ever seen. Establishment Dems will line up to nuke their own primary winning candidate.

It wouldn't even be the first time in New York. They already did it to India Walton in Buffalo.

Trump approval falls, Israel-Iran conflict, anti-ICE protests, and vaccines: June 13-16, 2025 Economist/YouGov Poll | YouGov This week’s Economist/YouGov poll covers Trump approval numbers, the Israel-Iran conflict, anti-ICE protests, and opinion of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his actions

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure"

It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started.

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.
