Nick Fuentes called Alex Pretti a “race traitor” for opposing ICE. I argue that sentiment is actually widespread on the MAGA right. My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/after-alex-p...

Wowzers. People are really upset the Panther Hollow lake is frozen over!!!

yeah - more signs of gestapo like tactics from the masked "police"

From not raising the minimum wage to preventing fully funded schools, Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled State Senate has blocked pro-worker policies every step of the way, despite the affordability crisis.

The American people do indeed deserve better.

Can we talk about how insane it is that Trump’s pick to “fight corruption” in Minnesota is a guy who took a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag — and still won’t say whether he’s even returned it?

A most logical statement, if I ever heard one, from Mr. Spock #StarTrek #Movies #FilmSky #Reaction #OC #TrekSky #Spock #Vulcan #Logic #FuckICE

This guy will say and do anything to be in office. Part of the problem.

If you haven’t seen the video - it is an absolute execution. We must stop this.

My statement on the removal of the Slavery Exhibit signage in Philadelphia.

Really don’t want Raja to be a “meh” Dem Senator from a Blue state. We don’t need more.

“This is a horror that is a parent’s worst nightmare ... All they want is for this little toddler and her dad to come home safe after they’ve been unlawfully detained by the government." - Irina Vaynerman, the CEO of Groundwork Legal and an attorney for the family.

Great read of where we are and why Democrats need to be BOLD in fighting Trump in this interview with @aselrod.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/2055...

Key point here. @nytimes.com made the editorial choice to elevate Third Way memo because it buttressed "Dems divided over Abolish ICE" story they set out to tell. And Third Way produced the memo because they knew it would get media attention from reporters looking to tell that story. It's all rotten

Donald Trump has another, hidden agenda for his tariffs: helping Big Tech companies. Trump's using tariffs to threaten other countries and force them to change laws that regulate Big Tech. So yes – you could be paying more from tariffs so that Trump can help Amazon and Meta.

It’d be great if centrist Democrats spent more time holding Trump accountable and less time copying Republican talking points to take shots at their own party. Also: colleges are currently on winter break.

Honestly - politicians and newsmakers must continue to leave it - it is a corrupt cesspool.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

We recently tested ~ a dozen public statements from a diverse set of Democratic elected officials on the murder of Renee Good and this was the top testing one

And in positive news against authoritarians: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

As a sign of things to come for 🏳️‍🌈 people - this is what the leader of Turkey is spending tax dollars on - the guy trump said he is a "big fan" and "hell of a leader." It doesn't hurt that he is a corrupt transactional authoritarian thug just like trump. www.turkishminute.com/2026/01/14/t...

In Minnesota, ICE is making us all less safe.

​​20 years with no raise thanks to PA Republicans. What does that say about how we value work? Let’s rethink. Inflation went up. Wages stayed the same. PA, is this fair? #RaiseTheWagePA #20YearsLate

New Quinnipiac poll: 53% of voters say ICE shooting of Renee Good is not justified, including 59% of independents (!) 57% of voters disapprove of how ICE is enforcing immigration laws, including 64% of independents (!!) Trump/Vance propaganda is failing

Talk about not meeting the moment...damn.

Not sure folks are effectively processing the insanity of the fact that an American citizen was murdered by the federal government in broad daylight, and that the federal government is now engaging in a cover up.

While today was tough - a bright spot was the reelection announcement of @joshshapiropa.bsky.social and @lgaustindavis.bsky.social Very excited to protect PA by getting them elected again!

FIGHT. Don’t FOLD.

It’s increasingly obvious that the Trump administration is using federal law enforcement to provoke, not protect. Two people shot in Portland is the latest example of reckless, unprofessional escalation that’s inflaming violence and putting lives at risk.

This is a solid loss for the people of Pittsburgh and those who often don't see themselves in the very limited mainstream media the city already has. The further erosion of independent media and our democracy continues.

From Stewartsville to Brown University to the attack this morning in Australia, senseless acts of gun violence have robbed families of beloved members during the holiday season. Today, I’ll be holding my family a little tighter. But we all must commit to ending this cycle of hate and violence.

Horrified by the terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. My heart goes out to the victims, and their families and friends. We must all vigorously condemn antisemitism and hate at every turn, and the perpetrators of these evil acts must be brought to justice.

Our sprawling research report is now available on substack! 🎺🎺🎺 Why Dems underperform! How voters think! How many of them think the 1% is the problem and not immigrants and DEI! (lots!) How many more mods are D than R! Clear signals from massive complicated data! Something for everyone, really! 🎁

The politics we have as Americans ultimately is up to us. We can choose for our democracy to be a dreary march to the drab center or running over groups of people with a metaphorical bus. Or we can choose an imagination battle that realigns the center so we can fight and build on favorable terrain.

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

Et tu Gloria

This. Whole. Thread.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Why wait until the polls close to start that most beautiful pageantry of Democratic politics, the ritualistic Blaming of the Left

Trump and his administration won’t stand with people living with HIV/AIDS on World AIDS Day, but Democrats will. Today, we remember all those we’ve lost, and recommit ourselves to the fight of eliminating HIV/AIDS worldwide.

This is funny. Gov. Greg Abbott delayed in scheduling the #TX18 special—which is taking place under the old lines—and almost certainly did so to keep a Dem seat vacant. The court cites that still-ongoing special as proof that reverting to the old lines would not be disruptive. Oops!

Just throwing this out there for reasons apnews.com/article/2022...

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

The importance of Senate Primary election outcomes impact caucus and “deals” like what the 8 just did. Key primaries are happening in IL, MN, ME, NH, TX, MS, Alaska and more. See what they are saying now and ask what they would have done. We need those who are going to meet the moment to win.

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
