1.2 million Texans were placed on the voter suspense list.

Being on the voter suspense list does not mean your voter registration has been purged. It simply means that local officials need an updated address before October 5th – the voter registration deadline in Texas.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t worked for two months. And while he recovers, wherever he is, McConnell gets nearly $15,000 a month salary.

The guy who voted against sick pay for American workers apparently has unlimited sick pay himself, with no risk of being fired for not showing up.

Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity

"May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened."

Today is the anniversary of the right to vote for Women in the United States.

Christian nationalists, whose ideas are powerful in the Trump administration, want to repeal women’s right to vote. They say that voting should be by household and that women must defer to men.

Hard to believe, but true - the right of women to keep the vote is at stake in these midterm elections.

The #Trump administration is launching nearly $5 million State Department money to fund organizations across Europe that promote anti-immigrant narratives, Christian nationalist rhetoric, and the defense of “Western civilizational heritage.” Framed as a free speech and democracy initiative, the grants mirror key themes of Project 2025, echo the white supremacist "Great Replacement" conspiracy, and could bolster far-right allies while engaging in U.S. interference in European politics.

Over 100 data centers have been proposed on or next to Tribal lands.

Data centers use up, evaporate, and poison hundreds of billions of gallons of drinking water -- and they’re often in drought-prone regions where Tribes already face water scarcity.

Big Tech companies are endangering native communities by targeting Tribal lands and building racist biases into AI programs. Zam DeShields (Chickasaw Nation), calls this “an extension of colonialism.”

If just 114,885 Trump voters — spread in the right proportions across the “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — had flipped their votes over to Kamala Harris, she would have won.

If those same voters had all been from Massachusetts, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference.

This is why Trump's attempts to get voter rolls from Blue States is so dangerous: he only needs to change a few votes.

Trump denies disaster aid to four blue states after approving aid to six red states. Even as the White House tells the public that “there is no politicization to the president’s decisions on disaster relief,” Trump has literally connected campaign endorsements to his approvals for aid requests, a move that has no precedent in American history.

Our disaster relief should no be politcially based. We are all Americans, regardless of political orientation.

Trump was politically educated in the 1970s and 1980s by Roy Cohn, the New York fixer who taught him how to attack, never apologize and turn every accusation back on his accuser. But before Cohn became Donald Trump’s mentor, he was Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and one of the most notorious figures of the Red Scare, the movement that destroyed careers, blacklisted Americans, and turned the word “communist” into a weapon that could be used against almost anyone.

I loved the book 3 bags full, it was such a lovely and layered book. I just saw the movie sheep detectives, it was a bit more simplistic than the book but it was cute and clever.

I was just thinking the same thing!

“Where…is the King of America?” Paine asked in Common Sense. “I’ll tell you Friend…so far as we approve of monarchy…in America THE LAW IS KING. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other." Thomas Paine Common Sense, 1776

ICE is rewriting the rules to hide deaths tied to its detention system. Under a new Trump administration policy, the agency will stop investigating and reporting deaths that occur within 30 days after someone is released from its custody. A person can leave detention gravely ill, die days later, and disappear from ICE’s public record.

#TimothySnyder reports Ethnic cleansing has now been endorsed by the Supreme Court. They have green-lighted deporting Haitians in large numbers due to the end of Temporary Protected Status. Roughly twenty percent of the children in Springfield Public Schools do not have documentation that would establish their citizenship. All of these boys and girls, about fifteen hundred children, are vulnerable to the chaos and violence of Haiti.

Trump has redirected taxpayer money from national parks around the country to his own projects, leaving the parks unable to make needed repairs or hire staff. Expected funding for more than 900 Park Service projects never arrived—including $424,000 to replace a guardrail on the edge of a cliff in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park that National Park Service employees identified as “a significant safety hazard for visitors.”

Pew’s new 36-country survey put numbers to the freefall. A median of 23% express confidence in Trump’s handling of world affairs — below Putin, below Xi. Seventy-four percent disapprove of his handling of Iran. In Canada, the share calling the U.S. a reliable partner fell from 83% in 2022 to 35% today; in Germany, “considers our interests” cratered from 60% to 23%.

The world will not trust America “for generations,” because America is the country that elected this twice.

The government prosecuted nine of the ICE protesters at the July 4, 2025 Prairieland Detention Center. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor sentenced eight of the Prairieland protesters to between 30 and 100 years in prison.

In contrast, Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes were sentenced to 18 and 22 years of prison for their roles in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump pardoned and commuted those sentences, releasing both from prison.

The situation with the reflecting pool is such a symbol of the utter lack of understanding of ecological systems by the Trump administration.

The reflecting pool is a public transparent example: they are making these kinds of decisions EVERYWHERE. Decisions that are equally horrifying, just not as visible or well known.

For example, did you know that they are BOMBING the national forests with RoundUp?

Wars mean loss of life.

The US has lost 13 people in connection with the IRAN war, which may seem like a small number, but those 13 people were special and loved and the loss is not small, it's devastating to those families.

Martin Soto was kidnapped by ICE on February 1st, 2026 while buying diapers for his eleven month old son, leaving his pregnant wife and two young children to fend for themselves on their own.

ICE has the power to release Martin via discretionary release. He does not need to be in prison to pursue his immigration case. Martin needs to be outside, with his wife and children.

“Since they kidnapped him on March 30th, Salah has been denied his medical and religious rights. Salah is a Type 2 diabetic. He has lost 30 pounds in detention, and he is very ill. He has asked for a prayer rug and had it taken away. When he asked for a Qur’an, he was offered a Bible. When he’s asked for healthy food, they have offered him pork rinds, which is just cruelty in action.” - Rachel Ida Buff, Writer, Historian, NAA Member-Leader.

On Sunday, over 150 Jews and allies traveled from across the Midwest to the Clay County ICE detention facility in Brazil, Indiana to demand the release of Palestinian American green card holder Salah Sarsour. ICE kidnapped Salah from his home on March 30 and has detained him for over 72 days now. Sunday’s vigil shows that the nation is watching, and that we denounce ICE terror, and we demand Salah’s immediate release!

2026-06-15T20:16:43Z

Narcissism meets dementia: Dr. John Gartner—a renowned clinical psychologist, warns that we’re looking at the “most dangerous possible combination” of psychological issues ever seen in a leader in Donald Trump. It’s a toxic intersection of “malignant narcissism”—a dark mix of paranoia, antisocial behavior, lying, and sadism—and “frontotemporal dementia.” This means a complete loss of manners, decorum, judgment, and empathy, along with highly “impulsive, rash, or careless actions.” #Trump
