Outraged students and parents just kicked Erika Kirk OUT of a high school campus, after backlash erupted over bringing in far-right extremist politics in public classrooms on the taxpayers' dime. A Phoenix area high school just backed down from letting a cult run rampant in their school. Pinnacle High School canceled an on campus appearance by Turning Point USA leader Erika Kirk after a surge of complaints from students and parents who refused to accept a political stunt during school hours. Principal Jeremy Richards told families the event was being moved off campus and pushed until after the final bell, warning it could disrupt the school day and create serious issues. Students spoke clearly: - “I don’t know why she’s coming here, to be honest,” Francisco Sanchez, a senior at Pinnacle High School, told 12 News Phoenix before the event was moved. "It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school. I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have." Damn right. Parents raised concerns about division and security risks tied to her appearances. The event is now limited to a small club gathering with ZERO taxpayer funding or school endorsement. Sorry Erika - this is what happens when communities push back and refuse to let schools become propaganda platforms for right wing influence. Like and Share if you support grifting MAGA cult recruiters being kept OUT of our schools. EVERY school should follow their lead. Via~~U.S. Democratic Socialists

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel. Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone. No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life. thenation.com/article/politi…

We need a people's media! Corporate media outlets have become mouthpieces for the ruling class. It's critical that we support independent journalists who are unafraid to disrupt the status quo so that we have access to truth. Carl Deal and Tia Lessin's new film follows independent journalist and Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and her refusal to surrender to power.

BREAKING: Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal critical details during the earlier handling of the Epstein investigation. Leading the lawsuit is Maria Farmer—one of the first women to publicly accuse Epstein—along with a group of survivors who say they have collectively spent more than $1.1 million to pursue the case in search of accountability. The plaintiffs argue that key decisions made during the original case allowed Epstein to avoid more serious charges for years, raising troubling questions about whether influential figures helped shield him from justice. The lawsuit has quickly drawn widespread public attention and support, with many viewing it as a long-overdue effort to uncover the truth and hold powerful individuals accountable. If the case moves forward, it could reveal significant new information about how the Epstein investigation was handled—and whether opportunities for justice were deliberately missed.

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Tyre, South Lebanon, just minutes before the ceasefire. An entire innocent family wiped out.

Take a good look folks. These are the Minnesota boundary waters. Every Republican senator voted to allow a Chilean billionaire to mine it. The minerals will go to China. This truly enrages me. It should you as well. Fuck, and I mean fuck… The @GOP 🖕

Makayla Rene Settles was 18 years old with a dream. She moved to California to live with her biological father and attend college. Two days later, he got her drunk and sexually assaulted her for four hours. She did everything right. She called for help. She went to the hospital that same night. She gave her statement to police. A rape kit was performed and his DNA was found inside of his own daughter. He was arrested that same night. Five months later, Makayla died by suicide. She could not carry the weight of what he did to her. Stephen Vincent Chavez is out on bail. His next court date is April 21st at the Ventura County Courthouse, Courtroom 14 at 8:30 AM. The Ventura County DA has signaled this case may not move forward because Makayla is no longer here to testify. Her statements are on record. The DNA is on record. Her family is demanding justice. Show up for Makayla. Contact the Ventura County DA Eric Nasarenko and demand this case goes to trial. 📍 Ventura County Courthouse 📅 April 21, 2026 | 8:30 AM | Courtroom 14 🎥: @foxla

🚨 The H-1B visa program isn’t what you think. It’s not about a “talent shortage.” It’s a labor control system hiding in plain sight. With the help of @qaggnews, we analyzed 20 YEARS of USCIS data. Here’s what they don’t want you to notice 🧵

holy shit they are calling the House into session literally in the middle of the night to try to give Trump warrantless surveillance powers

We disrupted *top Obama staffer* Rahm 'Israel' Emanuel's talk in Morristown NJ — because we don't need yet another Wall Street, investment banking, privileged aristo-performer playing tourist in our actual lives (also, shoutout to the cameo from our fave M&M stan Chris Christie). As Obama's chief of staff, Emanuel essentially killed his boss's climate agenda to protect Wall Street. As Ambassador to Japan, he spent years pushing LNG exports — methane gas that traps heat 28x more effectively than CO2. And through all of it, he's been a tireless defender of Israel — their occupation, their racism, their genocide — in fact he once volunteered to serve the IDF. Just so we're clear on who we're talking about. Rahm Emanuel is not just some centrist technocrat. He is a fossil fuel advocate and genocide apologist, with a Dem Party press pass. And in case you haven't heard, he'd very much like to be president one day. We will keep disrupting any and all "leaders" who obstruct climate action. We will keep disrupting "experts" who ignore, facilitate, or cheer on the annihilation of our brothers and sisters in West Asia. We will keep disrupting the multi-millionaire cosplayers who mistake their net worth for something we give a fuck about. We want leaders who work for the many — who tax the rich, who believe in collective power, who actually have skin in the game. Rahm Emanuel is not that. And he never will be.
