Americans Are Ready to Stop Executing People for Murders They Didn't Commit
The Supreme Court allows criminal defendants who did not kill to be put to death under the โfelony murderโ rule. It shouldnโt.
Alabama planned to execute Charles Sonny Burton today as punishment for the death of man he didn't kill
But after widespread condemnation, the governor commuted the death sentence
People recognize felony murder executions are wrong--the Constitution should, too!

Trumpโs War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers
The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the worldโs fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.
there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies itโs โthe right of the people,โ not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesnโt understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

this is a disgraceful thing for a united states senator to say, and, on top of the moral outrage of it, it would be horrifyingly bad foreign policy.

Status of ICE Operations | Burlington, VT
Make it this hard for them. Everywhere. Every time.
Burlingtonโs city government is encouraging residents to report sightings and to organize. Theyโve vowed to ensure the police help citizens not ICE.
Thus why the Feds have to call in Vermont state troopers.

Gotta say that this is some extremely creepy language. And the argument basically is... that if the prevent people from treating gender dysphoria (adults, in this case), that they'll just... stop having it? That's not at all how any of this works.

TL;DR there was a group who first called for the boycott back in February 2025 - they say it's still on.
There's a pastor who called for it in March 2025 - he says it's off.
And then there's lots of people who just stopped shopping at Target in January 2025 after they rolled back DEI.
