Ms Rachel talking to Deiver Henao, a 9yo in an immigration detention center www.instagram.com/reel/DVzUzoz... What a world

Every day can be international women’s day if you just maintain an extremely fixed delusion about how things are going

hey everyone i just invented a new thing and since congress doesn't exist anymore we can just go ahead and do it, i'm calling it Citizen's Impeachment

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

I'm not concerned about those who question God or even doubt God. That’s just a natural part of faith. My concern are those who claim to know the mind of God better than anyone and act as though they have the right to impose their beliefs on everyone else.

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

The incompetence of this regime never surprises me, but it does frequently astound me

The UK: We're arresting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a former prince, for his connection to Epstein. The US: Hold my beer. The UK: Why, who are you going to arrest? The US: No one, I just want you to hold my beer while I play a round of golf. Also, I was in the Epstein files 38,000+ times.

Taylor introduces three US figure skaters with Opalite in the background youtu.be/oUzdhHDecto?...

"When you jackhammer into the sewer, you get covered in shit. That’s what the Epstein Files are: shit. Unredacted to antagonize the victims; redacted to protect the perpetrators; released in a slow drip to acclimatize people to horror; released in an enormous drop to overwhelm people with fear."

This picture perfectly encapsulates this administrations willful ignorance and disdain for anything slightly resembling human decency.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

Auctioning off 13 year-old girls to rapists at Mar-a-Lago seems like it’s going to be a tough story to bury without dropping a few bombs this weekend.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” “My nation is under attack." #3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

The nurses are pissed

American freedom has always been flawed. But at bare minimum it should mean freedom from: "Show us your papers" and: "Comply or we will shoot you in the street."

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.” — Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

A small, ancillary detail in this horror that made me cry

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

I love therapy because it's like paying someone to watch me try to solve a Rubik's cube made entirely of my childhood traumas

So… no restraints then

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Also, festively eating all the cookies you just baked so you festively gain five pounds and are festively required to bake them again so you have something festive to serve tomorrow

I think we need to stop talking to each other, "what would you do if that was your kid" and instead talk to elected officials, "if you do not prioritize gun legislation, you will not know peace". the US population is crystal clear on gun violence. We don't want it.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

The Sandy Hook survivors are GROWN UPS now, and we have not made our country any safer for children. As Emma says here, “We deserve the right to live in a nation that values children more than guns.“ @momsdemand.bsky.social

Maryland @MomsDemand volunteers, survivors &@StudentsDemand leaders are gearing up to make sure gun violence prevention is a top priority in our state. Join us for Advocacy Day Feb 5th - in Annapolis! Register here: bit.ly/48N2BFP #MDPolitics #MDGA26 #MomsAreEverywhere

It's deeply revealing that the guy in charge of this tech has so little social and psychological know-how that he must ask a text predictor app why his baby throws pizza on the floor and laughs

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

I’ve been nominated for the FIFA prize for literature, oh wait, I just found out I won. Imaginary prizes are it turns out, very easy to win.

“Hey, we heard you wanted a peace prize, so we had one made up just for you buddy! And right over here, we got your superhero cape, ok buddy? Have fun!”

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com
