“We have a unique responsibility to protect those who have the courage to come out and say when something is wrong." @AOC is spot on. All-too-often, whistleblowers are marginalized, penalized and even fired after drawing attention to corporate cronyism and other shady practices.

President Trump says the U.S. will “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s. Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that “our luck is going to run out at some point.”

This is WILD. Ben & Jerry's own co-founder says their parent company, Unilever, is SILENCING them from speaking out against "the genocide in Gaza." He's literally on the street protesting to get his company's soul back.

We are incredibly grateful for the leadership of @RepMcGovern, who has been at the forefront of nuclear war prevention in our state and country. Last week, he addressed the rising dangers of nuclear weapons in a special House session. Read about it here: warheadstowindmills.org/cong…

Donald Trump just blew up another boat in the middle of the ocean with no legal justification. I'm drafting a resolution and forcing a vote to reclaim Congress’s power to declare war. Before Trump’s actions provoke one.

In this video, we explore how Wall Street firms, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), and private equity giants are reshaping housing markets—treating homes as hedge funds and tenants as revenue streams. The result? Displacement, skyrocketing rents, and the collapse of housing as a public good. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if we took housing out of the hands of corporate landlords and made it public infrastructure—like schools, libraries, and transit systems?

Very cogent analysis from @NathanJRobinson published today: "An Illegal and Indefensible Attack" currentaffairs.org/news/an-i…

An Illegal and Indefensible Attack

War propaganda never changes, no matter who the enemy of the day is. But the facts are clear: the attack on Iran was illegal and wrong. Trump should be expelled from office over this.

It's outrageous and scandalous that the Republicans canceled the one and only briefing they planned for Members of Congress on the war in Iran. The Constitution makes clear that only Congress has power to declare war.
