ICE is going to help Trump try to steal the midterms and the 2028 election. If Democrats fund ICE, they're contributing to the end of free and fair elections in America. If a Democrat votes for ICE, they're pretty literally complicit with fascism.

large, no-neck man in ill-fitting suit: "nice restaurant you got here. it'd be a shame if anything happened to it." me, a genius: "hey, this nice man doesn't want anything bad to happen to my restaurant!"

Has any politician suggested getting rid of Taft-Hartley? We keep talking about a general strike but I never see discussion of dumping the law against doing it.

btw don't watch the pitt tonight unless you're ready to see a boner

please don't ever click on a link to this racist, fascist shitrag

he's telling americans they can't have a $15k chinese electric car that's clean, efficient, and reliable AND that they have to spend more than twice that on an american-made, clunky, smelly, gas-guzzler that breaks down all the time instead...

seems like a person might reasonably fear for their lives when targeted by ICE going forward

this is the way. strikes get the goods.

starting a thread here of all the accounts we KNOW are paid DNC influencers, because it’s clear the dem party line is “dems deport millions the right way” please add screenshots if you find them

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

St. Louis officials are warning residents that several monkeys may be on the loose "This is the first time we've had a situation dealing with monkeys at large in the city of St. Louis”

i asked it how to treat a headache and now there's nude pictures of me on twitter wtf

I am pretty well into a script titled "you are being misled about renewable energy" Not gonna pull out studies. Don't need to go over climate change. Just a simple, plain conversation where we look at the realities of renewables vs. fossil fuels and I say "stop letting Republicans lie to you"

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Since Venezuela is organized as a Democratic Republic it won't collapse without Maduro, the Vice President will simply take over. And support for Maduro's party will likely increase as a result of this brazen assault.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Since all the VSPs seem to have recently discovered the circa-2012 point that "supply-side restrictions on fossil fuels are pointless," here's a piece I wrote in Vox that presents the other side of that argument:

after all the heavy meals around christmas i was going to eat lighter, maybe some fish or chicken. then i found a rib roast on manager's special. the beacons of minas tirith (my smoker) have been lit!

A new report from the grassroots organization RootsAction aims to do what a promised "autopsy" from the Democratic National Committee ultimately did not: publicly reckon with the failures of the Democrats' 2024 presidential campaign.

If everyone received a truly equal share of the American pie, every person would receive approximately $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple and $1.89 million for those with two kids. That would be a life-changing windfall for a large majority of Americans. www.upworthy.com/sharing-all-...

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

very smart and strong to build a type of ship that stopped being relevant to naval warfare on December 7th, 1941 www.bbc.com/news/article...

A vote against the War Powers Resolution is a vote to let the president decide alone whether to go to war with Venezuela. The facts are clear: Venezuela is not a source of fentanyl. Using the tragedy of US drug deaths to justify war for oil is unacceptable.

Why is Zoe Saldaña creditted as Zoë Saldana in the first Avatar movie? Umlaut 'e' and no enya 'n'. WTF. I only noticed this because i just watched both Ash and Fire and the original in the same day. That's six hours of Avatar. I think she's just messing with us with these crazy diacritical marks.

Just saw Avatar: Fire and Ash in IMAX and it was a great ride. Just as stunning and beautiful as Way of Water. Incredible action sequences. It continued and expanded the story wonderfully, I thought. Many touching moments as well. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/avatar_fir...

"Welcome to Soulless Political Consultancy 101. Our first lesson is how to win by throwing vulnerable members of your coalition to the wolves."

The end game here is taking shape. Once ICE provokes a violent response from anyone anywhere in the country, those resisting ICE will be designated "terrorists." Then the military will be used to occupy that area. theintercept.com/2025/12/16/t...

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

James is chin-stroking about the end of democracy here, and I’d point out that the key issue for almost two decades has been a political/media class increasingly making it very clear they will choose actual Norsefire fascism over any kind of backsliding on Thatcherism, if pushed archive.ph/qBzgr

So according to NPR drought is playing a role in this. I've always felt that one of the first ways ordinary Americans would notice climate change would be when a Quarter Pounder is fifteen bucks.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Reminder! All Kamala had to do to beat Trump was stop partnering in genocide. She chose genocide.

People need to remember that a lot of AI tech bros are huge fans of Trump, MAGA, and are pedophiles themselves. Please don't use their product, if at all possible. Learning a couple tricks in MS Paint will get you pretty far to creating your silly memes. Also handy: imgflip.com/memegenerato...

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

if democrats won't even stand up for their shitty health care scheme to enrich every corporate member of HIPAA, why should we care if it goes away? especially if it goes away because we all get free health care instead?

My "DHS LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES NOT PEPPER SPRAY CHILDREN" tweet has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my tweet

AI is simply a scheme to make sure we burn all the proven reserves of fossil fuels, climate be damned. The only certain effect AI will have from an economic perspective is propping up the asset value of those reserves. Everything else is pie-in-the-sky and the finance people know it.

i think they said something similar when biden's build back better bill was split and leftists said "but they'll only pass the bad part." which they tried to do but people bullied manchin enough to pass some good things in the inflation reduction act. along with more bad things.
