AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: I think that overwhelmingly, Americans are opposed to this reckless interventionism—People are sick of these endless wars, and every time we wind one down in one area, there seems to be an excuse to start hostilities in another.

Today, I reviewed some of the classified Epstein files. They were disturbing & hard to review—but even harder for survivors to have experienced. The DOJ must follow the law & release the files, with protections for survivors. Our march towards healing, transparency, & accountability continues.

Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade

If you’re looking for a last minute holiday gift for the Earth science/climate person in your life, I would never say any of these things about my book but other people have www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

In debt? NOT your fault. Our country REQUIRES it. Got health problems? NOT your fault. Our society makes us ill. Short attention span? NOT your fault. The technology is MADE for this. Unemployed? NOT your fault. The economy doesn’t support us. No savings? NOT your fault. ANY crisis can do that here

Gregory Bovino is back in Chicago, and so is the violence. Trump sending him here is not about safety. It’s about fear and force. We won’t give in. In Congress, I’ll vote to abolish ICE. blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/16/b...

We all knew this but did not have direct proof. Jail him for treason. If he is a proponent for the death penalty then let his judgement apply to him.

Kash Patel is derelict of duty. A cross-eyed incel coward. He is fraud and waste personified.

SHOUT-OUT to multi-talented International Treasure: DICK VAN DYKE! Today we celebrate his 100th year+3 days birthday. From the day I first met him (story included below) he's been an inspiration & a source of joy to his countless fans around the globe, myself included. Thank you sir 🙏 For DVD: 🎂❤️

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

This is the stupidest time in history for our country. If we dont stop it by whatever means necessary, it wont be our country anymore

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price. Here we are again. We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/t...

SW: “It’s a hit piece!” NW: “Okay, uhhhh…they‘re literally all HER quotes.” So it’s a hit piece on herself? 😂

This is wild! You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about? Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Y'all need to speak up about this ASAP!! The main questions are, "Why do immigrant children need their bodies searched by ICE and why do Republicans want to make this a law?"

Good commentary on the Susie Wiles interview with context - don't take her words at face value or think "she's the sane one". 2/x bsky.app/profile/seth...

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Some of the world’s biggest tech companies have yet to find a way to make money from AI — but the startups selling them training data and hiring data annotators have. Read more from @joshdzieza.bsky.social and @haydenfield.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Didn't Jefferies and Schumar say they ended the shutdown because they got "their word" they would get a vote on the subsidies?

That’s all on Schumer—it’s the Senate that caved, not the House. Squeaker Johnson never made the same commitment.

In Speaker Johnson's district:

Awesome coverage on this tonight on @maddow.bsky.social Awesome demonstrations in Minnesota and all across the country. Hey Tangerine Palpatine: We ain’t having it !!!

♥️♥️♥️ Minneapolis- St. Paul knows how to break up ice 😏 🏒

This rant sums up how I feel, but I will add in the neolib Dems and all of corporate America. www.instagram.com/reel/DR5Qzr9...

Relay from BLUESKY......

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

You just need to cut out the insurance companies.

This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.

I spoke with Debra Shushan about my book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, the state of public education & why our schools must be strengthened, not abandoned or destroyed. open.substack.com/pub/randiwei...

Someday he will be gone. But we will never forgive or forget the people who supported him.
