There’s a very narrow window for this too, because if they can strike fear in white women to not publicly protest them. It’s the end, the GOP will plow forward full steam ahead. I keep reminding them they are the intended targets. Everyone else is collateral damage.🤷🏾‍♂️

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

Just 2 of the withdrawls,U.N. Women; the U.N. Population Fund, which addresses sexual and reproductive health;the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children. Women's health and violence against children, hmmm, that tracks.

When you’re so thirsty you’ll take peace prize hand-me-downs. 🤡 @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trump tore down the East Wing to build a gaudy memorial to himself, acting as if he is an autocratic president-for-life, and what they euphemistically call the “highly politicized presidential portraits,” include the juvenile mocking of his predecessors.

I'm going to be very blunt here: headlines like this and articles like this are a significant part of our media problem because they make people believe things that aren't true

“Multiple discharge petitions for legislation specifically opposed by the regime passed with bipartisan support” would normally be a very high level of effectiveness for a minority leader.

I don’t think the outrage was that it was free for everyone.

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

Exclusive: I obtained testimony from the Dec. trial where Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, describes an incident in June where he smashed a car window, is dragged 100 yards, and tased a Guatemalan man 10 times. "I feared for my life," he said.

I find this news…unsettling. I always make jokes about what is going to be Skynet, but if this isn’t a T up for Judgement Day I don’t know what is.

Wake. Up. America. Even Dr. Heather Cox Richardson finally declared the US is now a Fascist Country: they’ve thrown aside their Constitution & international law, are invading whatever country they want, murdering innocent US citizens on the streets in cold blood. www.youtube.com/live/CQPOHCo...

Democratic attorneys general from 5 states sued to block the Trump administration's freeze of child care and social services funding this evening.

This is about the Border Patrol shooting of two individuals near Portland. It's the exact same statement every time, and so far, each time it's been proven false within 24 hours or less. It's a license to kill with impunity. katu.com/news/local/i...

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

The U.S. has ordered withdrawal from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, UN Oceans, and more. This isn’t symbolic—it reshapes science, funding, and influence. We unpack what this means for IUCN. #OceanHoptimism

Lol how can you tell this administration is lying to you? Because oil hasn't been shipped in actual barrels in over a century www.cnn.com/2026/01/06/b...

“.. critics have warned that widespread prediction-market contracts tied to war could create harmful incentives, especially if insiders charged with carrying out military actions are tempted to enrich themselves through side bets ..” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

Every loud chirping person who can’t follow this graphic but screeches at Democrats on the internet every day about impeachment, while ignoring that articles were brought 3 times last year anyway including last month.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

As news breaks in Minneapolis, we’re uplifting this story by our friends @unraveledpress.com during the Chicago surge. Agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father in Sept —and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by witness videos. unraveledpress.com/what-happene...

Bystander: “I’m a physician!” ICE: “I don’t care!” Ok. Better hope no members of the Gestapo ever need medical care when they’re out in public then. Cuz I’m pretty sure they’ll have a hard time finding a member of the public to help them. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Texas: where your lawyer might be winging it

It’s always been a race thing. A nearly identical homicide happened in a Chicago suburb - federal agents shot an unarmed man who was driving away and endangering no-one during Operation Midway Blitz, but he was a brown man. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Just say slush fund, Jack, this is taking all day

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

ICE shot and killed someone in Minneapolis today. DHS is trying to spin this before we know anything. What we do know is that ICE has shot at civilians before, that they have brutalized our communities, and that this administration wants them to operate with impunity.

This Langston Hughes poem is relevant af.

Video provided to HuffPost shows federal agents blocking a doctor from helping the woman ICE killed.

It doesn’t matter if decades have passed or new information has emerged -- If the EPA goes through with this, it won't be able to revise hazardous air pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks. My latest: www.propublica.org/article/air-...

basically, since the country is run by utter morons, we're just in a game of pinball hoping to be able to dodge whatever flaming balls of death may be hurling toward us next

keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

After defunding them and NOAA, this is where we land?

NEW: President Donald Trump’s EPA said it’s reconsidering whether the agency has the legal authority to update air pollution rules based on new scientific knowledge.

(AP) - Russian officials indicated in 2019 that the Kremlin would be willing to back off from its support for Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela in exchange for a free hand in Ukraine, according to Fiona Hill, an adviser to President Donald Trump at the time. apnews.com/article/russ...

Everyone should watch Senator Mark Kelly's brutal video response to the corrupt Trump/Hegseth effort to punish him. As @leahlitman.bsky.social says on the pod: "They are saying it is illegal to encourage people to follow the law." Leah explains this all brilliantly: newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is gonna prosecute me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for saying something that is in the Uniform Code of Military Justice — It’s nonsense — What I said in November is the exact same thing Pete Hegseth said in 2016. This is about stifling people’s speech”

She sure got this one right!

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Following marginalized voices makes you smarter and better informed than a million hours of consuming any Murdoch-owned news media.

Thanks to @brianleiter.bsky.social, we can read an excerpt from Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson's initial letter to his department head, Kristi Sweet, as well as his syllabus. leiterreports.com/2026/01/06/t...

These fucks are really having a January 6 rioter reunion today in #DC at noon. See what happens when you let traitors go home 🏡—just like the Civil War.
