We made this person president twice

We just cancelled all federal funding for foreign language & area studies at America’s universities to “save”…$86,000,000: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This is the correct takeaway from that reporting, yes.

Stephen Miller's argument that the U.S. shouldn't take immigrants from "failed societies" overlooks the fact that the failure of other societies is what drives people to seek a better life here. It's what Miller's own ancestors did.

Local man who says “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart” also makes national recommendations on appropriate Tylenol usage and child vaccination schedule.

Billionaire cash steers the agenda, military and police power set the boundaries, and religious messaging sells it as virtue, all while taxpayers fund the very system that excludes them… hartmannreport.com/p/a-new-year...

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Fun fact Lawsuit enthusiast, trump, hasn’t sued any of the 27 women who have accused him of SA. Huh. I wonder why.

This. They’re advertising strength because they don’t have it. Take their message seriously. It’s who they are. But don’t buy their product.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! New Video: “Top 10 Tips for Surviving 2026” youtu.be/ZxegZAnInN8

This 250th anniversary year we can prove we are stronger than a malignant narcissist & virulent racist and his depraved enablers willing to destroy our democracy to participate in power’s orbit. This is our chance to stem this hateful fascist agenda & pursue justice & decency. Let’s get it done!

He should have added “but if you cowards aren’t willing to enforce the law, what good is it?”

Always use drop boxes or drop directly to the supervisor of elections if possible. Vote your ballot the day you get it.

Normalize confronting ICE agents within the limits of what is lawful, both on and off-duty. They should never be allowed to rest in the presence of decent human beings. 2026 needs to be the year We The People shut down this Gestapo-esque blight on our nation.

What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, America’s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans won’t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project. Happy New Year!

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Good morning #BlueSky “We are entering the long dark. I use that term not negatively at all. I use it alchemically, that certain things can only happen in darkness. We are in a time of decay, a time of collapse, a time of #endings, a time of sheddings. These are necessary.” ~ Francis Weller

I'm not as worried about artificial intelligence as I am about natural stupidity.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Significant point. We should not discount this.

How sick must a man be that on the day a family loses a 35-year-old mother, daughter and sister from cancer he aggressively attacks the family with relish?

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

The Trump Admin steals the songs of musicians every day without their permission, but then expects artists to perform at the Kennedy Center.

Happy Birthday, to the amazing Patti Smith! Enjoy this goodness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Wz...

RIP Tatiana Schlossberg, journalist and member of the Kennedy family She wrote an amazing essay about RFK Jr. and I think a wonderful tribute to her is sharing it with you www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

When one makes up that many lies it's inevitable the lies will conflict with each other. It's more proof that it's all been lies.

Good morning #BlueSky “People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.” "Burn this in your heart; every day a new year begins in us, a new life.” "This time, like ALL times, is a very GOOD one...if we but know what to DO with it." ~ Ralph Waldo #Emerson

NYT covered Biden’s age with 315 landing page articles in 2024, every one of them about immediate gratification of attacking Democrats with vibes with no meaning, but had less than 25 articles about Project 2025. They care more about collaborating with Trump more than rigorous fact-gathering.

Oh so Kavanaugh doesn’t want his name associated with ICE arresting people who look like they might be Hispanic or are speaking Spanish? Too late, shitbird. It’s stuck to you like a vinyl seat on a summer day in Tucson.

Nothing about this quote about a “ballroom” suggests “peaceful transfer of power.”

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

The same Bill Barr who constantly ran interference for Trump and who's father gave Epstein his first job (at Dalton), wrote scifi novels about sex slaves and had a reputation for inappropriate conduct? Shocker.

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

And I’ve just realized she has an account here, so hopefully she will be able to share some info at BlueSky as well when she has a chance. @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

“They’re fighting” and they have “to stop” is generally what a ceasefire is.

Volodymyr Zelensky really loves his country. How else could he endure dealing with Trump and his lies, subservience to Putin and profound ignorance?

Something for your Monday in this liminal week between what was and what will be. Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic, Beethoven's 6th Symphony, 1978 As well as you will ever hear it played. www.youtube.com/watch?v=40vp...

Trump has no idea how outrageous or disqualifying his statement that Putin wants what’s best for Ukraine is or will sound to anyone with a shred of knowledge about the situation.

Morning #BlueSky "When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."~Audre Lorde "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. He who looks outside, dreams. He who looks inside AWAKENS."~Jung

OMG 🤣🤣🤣💀💀

Putin has been trying to make Ukraine fail for a quarter century

RIP Austro-German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, one of my favs, died this day 1926. "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue." "For one human being to love another:...

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7. Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply. So choose carefully when making medical care decisions for your loved ones.

Dost thou speak seriously

One of the things about Zelenskyy being an actor is he knows how to say something without saying something.
