Overdose deaths in the U.S. dropped 27% in 2024, thanks to expanded access to health & prevention strategies, & diplomatic coordination. Declines began in 2023 under Biden, & have continued. But the current administration’s focus on enforcement over care puts progress at risk. Let's dive in... 🧡

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

CONGRESS declares war.

NOT President tRumpstein.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

anyway i have my issues with this place but the reason i’m not on X β€” and prefer here to there β€” is that i’m a bit too humorless to want to have to deal with being called a β€œnigger” every time i want to say something

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal.

Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, β€œNo One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

DONALD TRUMP: β€œI’ve been totally exonerated…”

REALITY:

β€’ The DOJ has been shielding him.

β€’ Multiple lawsuits, court documents, and allegations in the files name Trump.

β€’ Not charged is not the same thing as exonerated.
