It is the dark & oppressive nature of the immensely unpopular decisions handed down by 6 right wing SCOTUS ideologues that, ironically, may facilitate a new dawn.

My office is demanding the Trump Administration release any and all records on the Trump DOJ’s politically motivated, baseless fishing expedition.
The American people deserve to know who ordered this abuse of power and how far it goes.
ALT Governor Gavin Newsom today announced his office filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking records from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to President Donald Trump's politically motivated investigation into the Governor and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The investigation, which Governor Newsom announced earlier today, was ordered by President Trump after publicly calling for Newsom's arrest.

The kleptocracy never ends. Trump used the White House as a backdrop for a cage match.
At the same time, the Trump family is selling $12,000 coins to profit off the event.
They’re not draining the swamp. They are the swamp.

Interviewer: “I was hoping you could talk to me a bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?”

The rise of surveillance capitalism must be stopped.
Charging obscene airfare because the algorithm knows you're going to a funeral should be illegal. Using our data to price gouge us should be illegal.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Their plan: Spend $300 million to buy Susan Collins a sixth term.
My plan: Defeat them, then ban billionaires from buying elections.
Collins-aligned groups already booked $100 million worth of Platner attack ads. The GOP plans to spend over $300 million through election day, nearly double their 2020 ad spend in Maine. bangordailynews.com/2026/06/…

The DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS audits
This is outrageously corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar.

Benjamin Netanyahu is an international fugitive.
He is charged with the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
