• The Supreme Court Is About To Give Trump Even More Power

  Today the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case called Trump v. Slaughter, seeking to overturn 90 years of precedent (Humphrey's Executor) in favor of putting more power in the hands of Trump. This is important for EVERYONE to know because it could have wide-reaching implications for every aspect of our lives and the functioning of government including, importantly, the integrity of our elections.

• The Immigration Crackdown Has Entered A New Phase

  The shooting of National Guard troops in Washington DC last week allegedly by an Afghan national has sparked backlash against Muslim immigrants. The Trump regime was swift to enact sweeping restrictions on immigration even beyond what was already put in place since January. It appears we have entered a new phase of the immigration crackdown in the US. Go to https://ground.news/Leeja to stay fully informed on US Politics and see all sides of every story.

• Can Troops Disobey Trump?

  The Pentagon has promised to investigate Senator Mark Kelly and the other congressmembers who appeared in a video reminding the troops that they don't have to obey illegal orders. This comes after Trumps unhinged Truth Social ramblings called for the sitting members of Congress to be put to death. Turns out the video wasn't as controversial as the regime's propaganda machine wants you to think.

• The Fascists Want You Thin

  Thin is in, but is it the fascists' fault? Online discourse has been swirling about Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh making the red carpet rounds for Wicked while looking particularly gaunt. Is this the product of fascism, or is fascism merely capitalizing on a long history of fatphobia that was already within us? Today we're talking about the politics of bodies.
