It is another reason I hate her, and her family. But I hated them first for how my folks got into Amway. Wrecked many of my parents' friendships with that evil pyramid scheme. Made them more alone when they needed their friends more. =bitter=

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

For New Year's, talked to my friend Olga, who runs goods to the front lines from Kharkiv. She's moved everything from generators to a mobile hospital and ambulances. As seen in Mother Jones (below), CNN, NYT, and elsewhere. The work is staggeringly challenging. DM me if you would like to donate.

Seriously, yes.

All this. Thank you, Madiba.

=nods at this short thread= As replies point out, we've renewed our membership. It's a club we never left, after all. -_-

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

Now I have an image of what happens when you fall from a chariot. Well. It's not fun for the horses either, but that as a political cartoon would be something.

<3 I'd be cool with us having this happen asap. My SO pointed out that when we lost X to Elon, it suddenly made it very clear which silos had which people in 'em. Yeah, but I still miss Twitter vs Xitter, y'know?

have been thinking all weekend about how journalism contains some writers with a deep understanding of what historians do and how what journalists do is different even if sometimes complementary—and many of the writers most utterly dismissive of history even existing

This was the first of Andrea's posts I ever read! I really enjoyed it. I think it was a great intro to her thinking.

January 6th participant: You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again.

We should reenact more slave revolts. Just people out there in revolutionary costume, going what up its Denmark Vesey

It's possible to just do things. To just begin. It takes some people [who usually won't get paid], some ideas and a way to raise a small amount of money.

Trump’s actions to seize Venezuelan wealth for himself to use as he sees fit are anti-constitutional; a rejection of the basic principles on which the United States of America was founded.

Thank you for this, Andrea! I feel better reading your essay.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

Oh, terrific!! This happens if say, someone decides to not give you your Epitol. Also, a headache that won't go away. Called my doctor. Am angry abt staffer, whose medical expertise is clearly nil.

Wow. I feel bizarre, badly so. Hands have the shakes. Dr office staffer thought making me wait days for my meds would be OK. No; when my 'script is out, you authorize it. What if I was epileptic? I'm not, but these shakes are freaking me out.

Here's a list of people to blame for where we are today. 1. Merrick Garland 2. Mitch McConnell 3. The Senators who voted not to "impeach and convict" 4. Fox News 5. The people who "sat it out" in 2016 6. Jill Stein 7. The 147 Republicans who voted not to certify the election even after Jan 6th

On the 5th anniversary of Jan. 6th, let’s honor the patriots and public servants who defended our Capitol and Constitution. Let’s remember their sacrifice through our actions to defend democracy. And let’s never forget that Rep. John McGuire stood with insurrectionists that day.

I hear you! I've fibro; I took a nap on 6-Jan-21. Got up, and my SO and roomie say, "There was a coup." Me: "wth!??!"

slate.com/news-and-pol... Ohhh, this was wonderful. I'm sorry the poor reporter was so cold [it was bitter weather!] but grateful for the story. Well done, Team Slate. Well done, and congrats again to Mayor Mamdani and NYC! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @slate.com #HopeWon

Agreed. If they had not acquitted him--! But they did. It was idiocy. I look at it simply: had a man sent a mob to kill me and everyone, I would not have cut him loose. Conviction was the correct choice. Clearly it was too hard for 'em.

I dunno about you, but having legacy media mispelled as "Democrats" is kinda grating. Dems weren't dismissing Jan. 6th as anything, that's why they fought so hard against Trump. It's the media who kept rehabilitating Trump and letting him and the GOP downplay it as 'tourism'. Blame the industry.

Because I have Nick Shirley's full livestream from Jan 6th

We all saw the horrifying events of Jan. 6th unfold on live TV. Republicans are lying about what happened that day. Trump should have been convicted by the Senate following his impeachment for Jan. 6th. Thanks to Mitch McConnell, that never happened. Trump was allowed to run again. Here we are.

I hear there’s some Jan 6th insurrectionists marching around the Capitol and getting into fights with people. So if according to them “nothing happened” that day WHAT are they out there celebrating? 🤔 This is a similar question I have asked neo-Nazis (draw your own conclusions)

🔥NYT: “Trump is the Jan. 6th president… It was a turning point toward an even more lawless version of Trump… people who violently attacked Congress & beat officers escaped w/o lasting consequence… Tragically, 🇺🇸 is still living in that political era…” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

2 police officers relive Jan. 6 through their own bodycam footage Never ever allow these traitors to rewrite what happened on January 6th. @michaelfanone.bsky.social www.npr.org/sections/the...

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6th insurrection. While thousands stormed the U.S. Capitol to overturn a free and fair election on Trump’s orders, injuring more than 140 police officers in the process, Trump refused to denounce or stop the violence.

History doesn't lie. Trump AND his toadies do--with impunity. NEVER FORGET that Marco Rubio, who sold his soul to an election-denying, criminal-pardoning, child-raping convicted felon, said Americans who compare Jan. 6th to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 "are nuts".

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

It was both a failure then, and a success now in that he wasn't kept from power. Yet you're right; it is disrespectful to all those who fought the traitors in the Capitol that day. Deaths, injuries, trauma: all this is b/c of DJT. #J6

Trump still has yet to be held accountable for the Jan 6th insurrection. My lawsuit with other members, Lee v. Trump, is our last chance in the courts to do so. He wants to rewrite history. We won’t let him. www.huffpost.com/entry/lawmak...

“For over three hours we begged him to send the National Guard! He never did it. He took joy in not doing. He was savoring it...What he's saying today is an insult to the American people." #GOAT

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Venezuela isn't about fentanyl or national security. It's about oil and Epstein.

Tue, Jan 6, 2026 Steps of the New York Public Library On the anniversary of the Jan 6th Insurrection, Rise and Resist publicly announced the list of crimes and constitutional violations perpetrated against the American people by this lawless President and his regime. Impeach, Convict, Remove!

A great way to remember Jan 6th is to listen to Jack Smith's testimony. I got to 2.5 hrs. I still need to finish it. Every American should hear it for themselves. And yeah, Trump is guilty. He should be disqualified from being president.

Charlie and Mike: thank you. This is a really good essay. Much appreciated. #Insurrection #Jan6th #InsurrectionDay #Jan6 #J6Insurrection #J6

Rep. Raskin: "Trump convinced the organizers to change the date of their rally from Jan. 20th to Jan. 6th. He then went on social media to recruit tens of thousands of mob extras to back up the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers who would get the fight against the police started."

Trump has used his clemency power to attempt to erase & whitewash history by pardoning over 1,500 Jan 6th insurrectionists, as my report shows. But we must remember Jan 6th for what it was: A violent white supremacist insurrection to overturn an election, incited by Trump.
