First Trump scrapped β€œDEI” coins. Now the new dime is losing the olive branch. The America250 revisionism is coming for your pocket change.

The commemorative coin line is just one of many ways that the White House has used America’s 250th anniversary as an opportunity to crusade against diversity, equity, and inclusion and rewrite America’s history in Trump’s image

They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth. Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care. As their state pushes to expand some types of medical freedom, it has a...

Can you imagine having to participate in a 3hr virtual court hearing while in active labor?

It happened in "Florida, a state that has pushed to expand medical freedom for those who wish to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water, while constricting the rights of people in various stages of pregnancy."

Other countries should revoke US diplomats' visas. Send them home. Start with Jared Kushner's Dad in France. All of them. They are a war mongering, violent, destructive, extractive class who are not going to strengthen international relations - their goal is to tear those relations down.

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story πŸ€”

Billionaire sociopath tech bros are eager to quiet educated women because we don’t like child rapists, war, hungry children, measles, the climate emergency, and their nuclear level selfishness.

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. β€œPastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Yeah, this is deeply unacceptable. This is the kind of thing the party should do something about. If Republicans want to be one way, that’s on them, but there’s no way Senate leadership can let this slide. Also, this dude almost certainly needs help, for real.

The response I received from my congress member after calling to *rail* against this illegal war proves that he and his staff are:
A) violently sociopathic
B) amoral
C) ignorant of history and current events
D) blind to global economics, military affairs, intl relations
E) all of the above
