This proposal deserves serious study

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hate so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." James Baldwin

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Jesus is mentioned ~1000 times in the Bible Harry is mentioned ~19,000 times in all 7 Harry Potter books Trump is mentioned ~38,000 in the half released heavily redacted Epstein files—actual number is easily 2X or 3X that In Conclusion: •Jesus is the Messiah •Harry is the Wizard •Trump is the PDF

This is important

Here is a prime example of why we need to run forward thinking progressive candidates in so-called safe Democratic seats. She's served her shift. It's time for her to clock out, willingly or by the force of election.

Imagine that

Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Good trouble

Hmmm...

Virginia did NOT start this, but we are going to finish it. We must to TURN OUT AND VOTE YES for our Redistricting Amendment on Tuesday, April 21. #virginia #vote #redistricting

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

He's no Katherine Graham

Thanks to the efforts of @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and other advocates, the boy in the blue bunny hat—five-year-old Liam Ramos—is home from ICE detention. But hundreds of kids remain in facilities that are no place for children. Release them all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

Get ready. He's priming the pump. Soon 47's going to say the midterms have been stolen - even before they've taken place.

Wait until it reopens!

Just because Epstein is permanently sidelined doesn't mean the game is over. His pervy "pals" will find or have found a way to continue perving. Likely no one's looking into that.

If what he's blathering about were true, Harris would have won the election.

Here in Thailand there are 2 theatre chains. Neither one is showing Melania. Good.

Isn't it fair to say that Don Lemon was, and indeed everyone held for "immigration violations", are political prisoners? I've not seen it said explicitly. Did I miss something? Have I give too far out on a limb?

Wish I'd been there

There are those who grew weary of being told they're overreacting and yet here we are

A friend who works at the CIA told me they’re replacing waterboarding with forcing prisoners to watch "Melania" on a loop.

Authoritarian dictatorships fear the truth most of all, which is why someone with a camera is so triggering for them. #ResistTrump

What's the likelihood whoever it is will actually pay?

Remember, your cable/satellite subscription contributes to Fox's income. They are not dependent on ad revenue. Last I checked (a couple years ago), they were the most expensive of all the channels. Suggest either demanding your provider separate out Fox or you could cut the cable.

The Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is critically important news & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download & understand why this is such a significant development. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Yeah, this

A PROTEST SONG! Folks, do what you can. Sing your protest. Speak your protest. Join neighbors in protest. Blow whistles in protest. Record evidence in protest. Offer late nite insight & solidarity in protest (🙃) Do what you can. It all matters.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets private screening of new Melania film.

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

The grift reaches new heights

Nailed it

20 years of my media criticism boiled down to one skeet:

"In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category, but a pillar of the State." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In fact he's correct. There *is* engineered chaos and he's part of the cabal that is creating and exacerbating it. And as is typical in MAGAtland, he's denying any culpability, shifting the blame to the victims.
