“Our government is filled with dedicated civil servants who proudly took an oath to serve our country and constitution. We did not deserve to be treated as an enemy. Certainly not by the President of the United States.” A former federal worker offers a look into the DOGE nightmare.

For the first time in 37 years, the Trump admin will not commemorate World AIDS Day as it guts global health funding and jeopardizes the health of millions. So this year's theme is fitting: overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response. You can more here: www.who.int/campaigns/wo...

Er… we don’t have room for just *anybody* in this “vast” tent, least of all someone who coined the term “Jihad Squad” against a Muslim representative AND said the Sandy Hook was “staged” shooting…

The Contrarian’s coast to coast coverage of Vets Say NO featuring Tim’s stellar narration. What a privilege it was to listen to and learn from these esteemed, anti-war veterans. They understand what is at stake, and we should too.

ICE has reigned terror on immigrant communities under Trump. Countless people have been taken—and disappeared. Ciera Stone shares her experience at an event honoring those who were lost.

Oct is Disability Awareness Month, yet the Trump admin is penalizing the disability community by withholding SNAP money and skyrocketing their healthcare costs. We cannot allow Trump and his GOP lapdogs to further break our healthcare system and ignore judicial directives to RESTORE SNAP FUNDING.

Tomorrow, Trump’s MAGA administration will shut off a critical food supply program (SNAP) from millions of American families. We asked four House Democrats what is at stake and how to save these life-or-death social programs. Because it truly is a matter of life or death.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS
