TW: DV The staggering numbers of missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW) is a national travesty. Native women deserve safety. Native women deserve visibility. Native women deserve justice. Learn more: niwrc.org/mmiwr-awareness
Poster for the 2026 National Week of Action for MMIWR. An illustrated Indigenous woman wears turquoise earrings, a beaded necklace, and a colorful patterned garment against a red background. Large text reads, “Do you see us?” Smaller text reads, “Native women are murdered at 10x the national average. This is not in the news.” Website: niwrc.org.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Trump misstating and touting a meaningless deal over Greenland, while the entire Middle East security architecture falls apart due to his own actions, is emblematic of this administration’s foreign policy.

Joe Rogan suddenly acting like he was an innocent bystander for years and had no idea what Trump was all about until now and did nothing to help get him elected is pretty weak and pathetic. Just own it.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Spoke with some of 600+ people who were punished for Charlie Kirk-related speech over the past year — about the anxieties they’ve faced, the crazy reasons they were fired or even arrested, and what their life has been like since:

In the year since the murder of the far-right commentator, those who were punished for comments about his death have met mixed fortunes. Over in Dallas, the GOP’s mad midterm Trumpapalooza began.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

When I see someone characterize cis men disrupting and harassing women’s basketball players as “protecting” women’s sports, I think about how last year at a women’s soccer game some young men behind me paid for tickets just to heckle the women on the field. It’s all blatantly misogynistic.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only. The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.
