I am sure I am behind the times on who next to boycott but I just saw a disgusting ad for Homeland Security on Paramount warning people to self deport. We already canceled all other services except Netflix but that is next on the block and I’m giving Paramount the boot right f’ing now.

It has been 32 days since the courts have ordered the government to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This man has still not received his constitutionally entitled due process. This can't end after a news cycle. Keep emailing congress, never let them forget about this. Demand Impeachment and Removal.

Regimes far worse and far more entrenched in power than this one have collapsed under the pressure of opposition from the masses. Once enough of the population was dedicated to the goal of removing them, they frequently fell in weeks or even days. We may be getting close to the necessary numbers. When we have them, all we need is smarts, organization and commitment.

Norwegian here, and seriously America will you please grow a pair? I see so many left-leaning people online these days just giving up because the orange goon, who you all know can't be trusted, says there will be no more elections.

There is an expectation of an election in 26 and in 28, a process that takes place, and if that's gonna be stopped then it will require actions by Trump and his goons, not words.

Y'all gotta stop spreading this pussy-ass "There is no point in trying"-shit, and just act as if there will be an election. Then if they're brave enough to try to stop it or try to cheat or whatever, it will be obvious to the entire USA and the world what is happening, which is the point where y'all gotta head to the streets and make a goddam ruckus.

People are battling fascists all over the world, refusing to give up even when facing already implemented and stable fascist regimes.

In America, the situation's not the same. You are still a democracy, and if they decide to try and fully facilitate a transition into a fascist state, then that will be the moment where they're the most vulnerable.

Now they know that very well, which is why the best situation they can hope for is one where most Americans just give up and accept being put under total supremacy.

##Don't. Give. Up.

Last year, the rightwing think-tank the Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025, which laid out much of the policy blueprint for the current Trump administration. One of the project’s espoused goals was to permanently criminalize all pornography. Now, a Republican senator with kind words for Trump has introduced a bill that would do just that.

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all pornography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, “obscenity” has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech that remains unprotected by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.

The White House is unveiling an aggressive drug pricing strategy targeting pharmaceutical companies, promising to dramatically cut prescription drug costs for American consumers.

Donald Trump condemned the current pricing system as a “redistribution” that has allowed drugmakers to exploit US patients and signed an executive order that he says will lead to matching lower drug prices abroad.

“We are subsidizing others’ healthcare, where they paid a small fraction of what we pay,” the president said in a press conference on Monday, flanked by health and human services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr and centers for Medicare and Medicaid services administrator Mehmet Oz.

at spring 2018, #Palestinians in #Gaza where trying to break the siege by marching to the wall that isolate them from their stolen lands. They where butchered by Israel, of course. 7 years later, Israel seems determent to turn the world largest prison into the world largest extermination camp. The least we can do is keep chanting
"بالروح بالدم نفديك يا غزة".
With spirit and blood we will redeem you #Gaza

PFAS ‘forever pollution’ is widespread across Europe, notably in drinking water and citizens’ blood. A comprehensive proposal to ban the production, sale, and use of these forever chemicals is at risk of being watered down by the Commission, after heavy lobbying by vested interests. Check out our briefing and cartoons to find out why the Commission’s stated priority to ban PFAS in consumer products could just hand the industry a major win.
