“Who do I give my Xmas list to? It’s long”

Between Grammer sleeping with a teenage babysitter back in 1993, all the drunk driving, the abuse accusations, and his open far-right conservative politics, I thought sure when he did the Frasier reboot that everyone would finally realize the kind of guy he is, but nothing ever sticks.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

The next Democratic administration should expand the court. There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for US Senate. youtu.be/W-Pe1GifYLs?...

A bit of an O. Henry bittersweet happy ending here from a group that does great work in our area: They helped furnish and create a warm home for one of the caseworkers who usually helps their clients. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

🔥HOPE WALZ: “Oh Don Jr, it is so clear your dad doesn’t love you… my family will always be richer than yours, because we find joy in each other - not tearing other people down. I really hope you get the help you need.”

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Nayra Guzmán was arrested 15 days after her daughter’s difficult birth. Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE.

No shit.

I do not work for the shelter. Just been sharing MELIA for awhile now. The shelter does post videos on Facebook, Instagram and X. It's under "Adopt MELIA & Friends". I only have Bluesky. I post videos as I receive them. Check her out below. 💗 ☎️ 516.785.5220 ⬇️⬇️ www.threads.com/@adopt_melia...

Anyone who is surprised by this doesn’t know a whole lot about Kelsey Grammer because he’s been a toxic jerk for years

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

Perhaps Donald Trump should sign an executive order declaring June 14 (his birthday) to be National Racial Animus Day.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

In line to become U.S. citizens, they were asked what country they’re from. If they were from certain countries, they were pulled out of line. Just horrible. The very antithesis of what America is. Every Republican should lose in 2026 bcuz of this. Every single one.👇 www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Northern charm, Southern efficiency.

I am once again asking why Washington, DC does not have decent food options past 9 PM despite being a city full of workaholic sickos.

I wrote that siding with Trump on this “would not be a difference of opinion, an alternative path, or even a politicized decision. It would be a decision effectively overturning a key portion of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it would need to be treated as such.”

Well, this is a very bad way of describing this.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans

It's like even though he's a Dem Trump can't help but feel a profound sympathy for a money launderer wapo.st/4as1ygY

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.) And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Mom and I are looking forward to watching Merle Oberon all December on TCM! Her star of the month celebration kicks off tomorrow night with one I haven’t seen in ages but remember enjoying, The Dark Angel. #TCMParty

when its definitely not a hostage situation

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID. I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The FBI redirected lots of agents to work on deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally, but who were not involved in separate criminal activity. Perhaps if they'd been working on terrorism and violence cases, the two National Guard agents would not have been shot.

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened

"It honors our country." Yeah, the thing that's going to bring America back to its glory days is me showing up for my Frontier Airlines flight in a tux.

Sometimes I think about how many people were convinced that the Vice President of the United States lost the presidential election because she didn’t contort herself to do this show. If it’s true it says a lot about this country.

Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
