The Nation has asked a federal appeals court to intervene before the clearing begins. They shouldn’t have to fight the federal government to protect their sacred plants and homeland. We stand with the Tohono O’odham Nation. 💚
No Wall - Tohono O'odham Nation
The Tohono O’odham Nation is a federally recognized, sovereign Tribe with 37,000 enrolled members; its reservation lands are located in Southern and Central Arizona. The O’odham have inhabited this re...

Starting tomorrow on Indigenous Peoples’ Day federal contractors are scheduled to begin removing thousands of saguaros and other desert plants from Tohono O’odham land in Arizona for Trump’s border wall, according to tribal officials.
Warrantless stops and violent roving patrols by masked federal agents across California, especially the Central Valley, have been terrorizing farm workers for the past 5 days. The chaos is escalating. full statement: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...
No shit. Way to tell that crazy Twatzi Laura Looney off, Bill.
SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.
For #BannedBooksWeek, author Patricia McCormick — whose SOLD was the most-banned book of the 2025-26 school year — visited our office to talk to us about the consequences of repealing young readers’ access to stories about sexual violence.
Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.
This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.
Take a moment and help this mother care for her children. We are so incredibly privileged, share a few dollars it means so much.

This is all I’m gonna say about whiskey Pete wanting live stream this crap: 90% of people who want to see it have never actually seen what happens when a person is shot. It’s horrific. I’ve seen it and still have nightmares about it. I’ve treated them. No! This is absolutely disgusting.
I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.
For @wired.com, I spoke with workers about the quiet push to experiment with AI tools from book publishing executives at the Big Five. www.wired.com/story/book-p...
Only murderous Dictators host public executions. America better wake TF up.
Huh. I guess having a convicted sexual assaulter and all around piece of shit as a president has consequences.
Whining about deserving the Nobel Peace Prize while greenlighting a public execution is the most insane character sketch I’ve ever seen
He’s just a dum dum. Oh, I forgot. Dumb dumb.
Most people don’t realize dumb is spelled with a “B”.
Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.
Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”
An ICE agent on the scene of a shooting in upper Manhattan on Thursday has repeatedly been accused in federal court of unlawful arrests and using force during arrests in New York and Minneapolis, a WIRED investigation finds.
ICE Agent at NYC Shooting Has History of Alleged Violence and Illegal Arrests
Brenden Cuni, an ICE supervisor, has been accused of excessive force and tackling a pregnant woman to the ground. Several of his arrests were later found to be unlawful in federal court.

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?
Democracy Docket mapped the affected zip codes.
