We now know who the bootlickers are in academe.

Good Morning!

I’m thinking my backyard would be so much more secure if I just took a swath from my neighbor’s yard. It’s for MY SECURITY, so I should have the absolute power to grab that land, correct? Or as a puny single citizen, do I NOT have that absolute power? Confused.

What if ? ... #Canada

Here’s Erika Kirk finding out that Usha Vance is pregnant again.

More cat drama. My kitty Dominic crashed this AM. He did this last Monday. This go around looks like a UTI. He was all sorts of miserable and howling. *SIGH!*

“The president poses a problem that has vexed royal courts for millennia: What to do about a tyrant who has lost his wits?” This 2017 TNR piece has stuck with me for…nine years. newrepublic.com/article/1407...

Fascism 101. Release the Epstein files.

The problem with the SS wasn't their training.

I do not want to read a headline 'Newsom stands up to Trump' when he folded to Ben Shapiro

Are we sure he can still distinguish a camel from an elephant?

Dems in Congress need to start dumping Epstein files. Redact what they need to, but start dumping them. The DOJ isn't going to, and they are legally required to, so Dems just need to. Fuck shit up at this point. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social where the fuck are you guys? Release them. Just do it

This is on you, Congress. Every single member of Congress who does not support impeachment, removal, and prosecution right now is complicit.

Stage+ streaming. If you know, you know.

How big is Greenland? Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

“No class or group or party in Germany could escape its share of responsibility for the abandonment of the democratic Republic & the advent of Hitler. The cardinal error of the Germans who opposed Nazism was their failure to unite against it.” —William Shirer, The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich

This is the way.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

But I have tapes, videos and pics☠️

Get ready for a European bank run. That should get the GOP's attention.

This is achingly spot on. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow...

At first I was angry that we'd be celebrating the Declaration of Independence's 250th birthday under the Presidency of Donald Trump. Now I can't think of anything more fitting. What better way to celebrate this anniversary than with a year of massive protests against a tyrannical government?

"Americans, not foreigners, are bearing almost the entire cost of US tariffs, according to new research that contradicts a key claim by Trump... The new research suggests the impact of tariffs is likely to show up over time in the form of higher US consumer prices..." www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

and yes, if you are an American who claims to be anti-Trump and pro-international solidarity, but whine about the prospect of being mildly inconvenienced: you're a child. grow up.

BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will attend the Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's attempted firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook, an unusual show of support by the central bank chair.

This is totally worth your time. zeteo.com/p/why-does-i...

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

We are seeing the total crushing of the Union and repeal of the victories of the Civil War. The USA made a horrendous mistake by (1) Not hanging confederate generals for treason (2) NOT drafting and ratifying a new constitution that went down a parliamentary route. See: Our Slave-holding Republic.

FUCK ICE

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Any Democratic official who is ignoring the Nazi putsch we’re experiencing, taking $ from evil greedy billionaires and/or genocide enabler AIPAC & functioning as the CONTROLLED OPPOSITION, must be PRIMARIED. I’m looking at YOU Chuckles, Hakeem & “Problem Solver” Josh Gottheimer!🖕🏾

"Activists who packed the rafters in the Assembly chambers in Trenton’s Statehouse cheered loudly after the bill’s passage, hailing it as a landmark moment for immigrant rights..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/divi...

The judiciary has been the only guardrail to hold at all.

In a span of an hour, Trump says he is suing JP Morgan and imposing large tariffs on Europe until we purchase Greenland. Someone needs to take his phone away.

Very well done, @abigailspanberger.com. I'm pleasantly surprised. Wasn't expecting this but she's meeting the moment.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Hello, President Petulance. apnews.com/article/denm...

Read @hebagowayed.bsky.social on how the Trump visa ban harkens back to the eugenics-inspired immigration policies of the early 20th century. Steven Miller's virulent white nationalism is driving US policy at home (ICE) and abroad.
