Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Role models.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

😳🇺🇸

precious few of our national level leaders have acted as heroes this year. That has largely been a role foisted upon regular people to bear the burden of being courageous in the face of authoritarianism. Senator Van Hollen saving Kilmar’s life is an exception - a genuine act of heroism.

We don't have to live like this. Demand gun reform now.

The grift never stops.

Venezuela does not produce cocaine or fentanyl. It does have the world's largest oil reserve.

Really wish he had learned a little about supply and demand. One reason for lower gas prices is lower demand because the economy is worsening. And, the stock market is not the economy!

Lawless, criminal behavior

This is who is behind the ICE mask.

"House Democrats on Thursday voted to return Rep. Henry Cuellar to his leadership role on the House Appropriations Committee following his presidential pardon on federal corruption charges." JICYMI - Shameful, repulsive move by House Democrats and their leaders. Disgraceful.

This ballroom not only marks the destruction of a historic landmark — it's also creating a monument to corruption in our country, as massive corporations & the ultra-wealthy have donated millions to build the ballroom & buy Trump's favor. We need to put a stop to this entire corrupt enterprise.

Have you cancelled yet?

But it isn't a cult...

Thank you, again, Sen. Van Hollen.

Very good news.

Make America Healthy Again. Really? Double ACA premiums. Kick 15 million off health care. Undermine lifesaving vaccines and spark disease outbreaks. The Trump administration is endangering the health of the American people.

Quite the day for Trump: The defeat below, the defeat in Indiana, the defeat on the latest Letitia James case, the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, really bad poll numbers (his handling of the economy numbers threatening to fall into the 20s) He's losing it politically as fast as he is mentally.

Way to go, Indivisibles! Constituent pressure works!

Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa. All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.

For fellow Maryland folks, the office of senate president Bill Ferguson is answering calls and creating a list of people in favor of redistricting to boot insurrectionist House Rep. Andy Harris from office. Call! It takes 30 seconds. 410-841-3600 or 800-492-7122. [email protected]

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.” The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida. It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID. Free link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Rancid

Owner of Whole Foods says food prices are a bargain.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data. Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points. The cruelty is endless.

No, Rep. Jeffries, you really don't have to hand it to Trump.

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.

George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

There’s no question mark because I know the answer.

State governance matters. Let's pay attention.

Trump used drugs as pretext for illegal killings in the Caribbean, and as pretext for illegal, inflation-spiking tariffs. But he just pardoned a man who "flooded America with cocaine" and boasted that he'd “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” Trump's corruption is endless.

"don’t fall for the nonsense that Dems do not know what they are for. What we are for is very clear. Democracy. The rule of law. Affordability. Opportunity. Decency. Economic growth that benefits all of us. Real security. The things we have always been for. The things they are attacking every day."

Join the fight against Trump's GOP redistricting. Blue states like MD can counter Red states' gerrymandering. MD can gain a new Dem seat if the State Senate acts quickly. Maryland Indivisible Consortium (50 grassroots groups) drafted a letter you can send to your state senator.

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

Something totally different... There is an opportunity to make solar more accessible on a state-by-state basis. Exciting!!

Tomorrow to Monday - WE AIN'T BUYING IT!
