The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.

Hours before Kristi Noem left her job as DHS secretary, her agency bought five planes from a donor at a huge markup. They were supposed to fly deportees but have sat idle. Another symbol of waste and fraud under Trump. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

A judge stripped community-integration protections from a federal disability rights regulation at the Trump administration’s request. Disabled Americans fought for decades for the right to live in their own homes and communities.

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1949: WERD, the first Black-owned radio station in the U.S., opens in Atlanta. Launched to give Black citizens a dedicated, independent voice in a segregated media landscape, the station became a vital command center for the growing Civil Rights Movement. /1
Jesse Blayton Jr., General Manager of WERD, in the station’s studio, 1949. WERD became the accidental blueprint for modern Black media, proving that financial independence and cultural fluency are tools for social liberation. The station’s DJs pioneered fast-talking, rhythmic, rhyming “patter” over musical tracks. This style redefined the disc jockey profession and was later adopted by mainstream white radio. By sharing a physical building with the SCLC, WERD provided MLK with a direct, unfiltered pipeline to the public. The station circumvented hostile white corporate media and kept the community safe, unified and organized. WERD’s financial success proved that a Black-owned enterprise could thrive in the heart of Jim Crow segregation without relying on white institutional approval. It forced the corporate white establishment to respect and reckon with the economic and political power of Black consumers and creators.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.
