The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

Omar Artan was set to become the first Somalian to officiate a World Cup match. He was denied entry to the United States on Monday at Miami International Airport.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson just called Trump's Iran war "the greatest geopolitical disaster in the history of America" on live TV. He says Trump "stuck his hand in the middle of a hornet's nest" with no way out. A brigadier general said it. Out loud. On camera.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

We're at war with Iran. Congress never approved it. Now some members say it's "too late" to even debate it and Raskin is calling that out HARD. A War Powers Resolution is on the floor NOW. The Constitution is clear. Congress declares war. Not the president. Watch. Share. Tag your rep. 👇

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Lots of documented evidence proves immigrants, including those undocumented, are significant contributers to the US economy and other institutions. They do the hard dirty jobs to produce American food. In 2022, they paid $96.7 billion in taxes. They hold $299 billion in spending power... ETC!

It’s a sad and deeply disturbing day in this country. We’ve seen moments like this far too often, including attacks against providers, advocates, and patients, both on the news or in our own backyards. We’re fighting back. But we shouldn’t have to do it under threat of violence.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
