If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down. trib.al/I8KbPMG

Time for Al Jazeera to step up and do a story on this.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

They are killing innocent people in ICE custody. Now we are in Germany. Someone do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And my neighbors who are cold, wet, hungry, and overwhelmed…are now happy that their humble little refuge — where love gets traction, and prayers are answered — will stay in business. 🧵 8 of 9

Jack Smith sat for 8+ hours behind closed doors over his Trump investigations now he wants a public hearing. Let the country and the world see it all. 🔥 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AUYkaNAtgRmm...

Not to protect anyone, but because I’m sick of his fucking face. You’re welcome.

Vladimir Putin wanted useful idiot Steve Witkoff to represent the US because he targeted him as someone whose greed would be easy to exploit. And when it comes to the Trump admin, Putin gets what he wants. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

SANTA SAID I WAS A GOOD BOY!

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Jasmine Crockett: “Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked out pages counted as complying with the law— I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next level”

No painting. No digital tricks. Just physics, timing, and the quiet power of the universe at work 🌌 Nature painted this moment itself, as charged solar winds collided with Earth’s atmosphere and unfurled the aurora into what looks like glowing wings across the night sky ✨

A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property). THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

ICE in Indio, CA chased a family, caused a car crash that injured everyone in the vehicle, kidnapped the father and left the hurt mother and children without providing medical attention (12/19/25)

Imagine covering up for child rapists and being able to look yourself in the mirror.

"Peace in ourselves, peace in the world." — Thich Nhat Hanh, 1926-2022. Lithuanian-American classical pianist Rūta Kuzmickas performs Frédéric Chopin, Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23, composed in 1835. 🙏🏼🌎🕊️

The Kennedys hosted Ella Fitzgerald, Pablo Casals, Aaron Copland, and Leonard Bernstein at the White House. Donald Trump hosted Kid Rock.

I always forget this video is Montreal and not Seattle. The same thing happens here anytime we get real snow. Reminder, hills and people not prepared for snow are both hysterical and scary.

Michael Beschloss shared this photo of LBJ breaking ground for JFK’s National Memorial. It was for the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in December 1964.

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

Trump is trying to BAN states from regulating AI in *any* way to protect your safety and privacy. He couldn't get the votes in Congress to do it—so he's threatening to sue or yank funding from any state that stands up to tech billionaires. This is a massive, corrupt overreach.

We had been contacted months ago about an aging woman and her mini horses (one blind one) who would need placement. She wanted to hang on to them as long as she could... 🧵

Finally time for Charcutree! Decorating and snacks and holiday jams and family togetherness, damnit.

If you think Trump is vile wait until you see what the young Republicans just did at their gala. This event demands far more coverage. The young Republicans invited and celebrated white nationalists, far-right German politicians and more. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/if-you-thi...

Give it a rest, JD. Everyone knows the high tariffs and cuts to healthcare support happened under Trump.

Humanity at its finest. (The boy was cancer free as of 2023.) #AGoodPlace

Do you have someone who smiles when they see you coming?

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.
