Republicans have mastered the art of closed-door testimony. They ask kangaroo court questions, then selectively publish the answers in official reports that provide fodder for the online right and Fox News for months or years – keeping the full transcript sealed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

one of the great under covered stories of the Trump 2 Administration is that Trump and the Catholic Church are as openly at war with each other as I've seen the Church be over and issue that wasn't abortion in my lifetime, its reached abortion levels

New York's new archbishop: “The Catholic Church isn’t a country club. A club exists to serve its members. The Church exists to go out and serve all people. We exist to follow Jesus who fed the hungry, healed the sick, rejected hatred, and proclaimed love.”

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

I am horrified and disgusted by the lack out outrage on the part of the corporate media to the arrest of two Black independent journalists on Friday for doing journalism, Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Where are the editorials? I'm mulling. In the meantime pls read: presswatchers.org/2026/01/jour...

The cultural dam is breaking.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Today I expressed my deepest concern and sympathy for a coworker I just met who is in MNPLS. He was sincerely touched and shocked that someone in AZ knew so much and cared so much about what's happening there. That makes it even more sad. They may not be aware that we're even paying attention.

What's happening in Minneapolis can and may happen everywhere. Nonprofit leaders and foundations, it's time to rise up. Don't let this be just a local issue—your voice and support can make a difference. Together, we can push back. youtube.com/shorts/hSW20...

look what they’re doing to my beautiful city. this is bovino’s massive armed convoy, rolling through the Wedge, one of the nicest, friendliest residential areas in Minneapolis, doing nothing but posturing, starting fights, and then deploying chemical weapons at a park many children play in

The key takeaway is clear: in the face of adversity, community solidarity and active engagement are more important than ever. open.substack.com/pub/theliber... @guitarwatson.bsky.social

One of the takeaways of my current book is that the ability of the federal government to exert real power in domestic settings has always been largely overblown.

A clanger off the rim, which describes a lot of Dokoupil's first week.

Exactly.

Blood and stuffies. Trump’s America.

Bit more than that, imo. Goldman is a prized asset on the Hill in opposition to both Johnson's weak majority and Trumpism, and in line for leadership. More than pro forma.

So the hope (plan?) is "Trump's chavista" Delcy Rodríguez will knuckle under to US control, the oil will flow, drug trade will stop, and VZ society will stabilize so that refugees return? All without further military action? This seems like a poor decision all around.

Seems to me Dems generally have the right response: - Question the legality (illegal) - Question actual plans for Venezuela (none past the next Big Mac) - Question the rationale (oil, polls, whim/penis) - Warn of a quagmire (likely) - Hammer Maduro (criminal)

The biggest story of 2025? The cruel and calculated attack on civil society by the Trump Administration. Almost everything else on this list is related. #uncivilsociety youtu.be/e3sWM4uOgFE?...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I'm counting down the top 10 stories from the world of philanthropy and civil society for 2025 - and the list signals extreme danger for our democracy and our work. youtu.be/e3sWM4uOgFE?...

christ, i can barely process this

The American people are sick and tired of Trump’s bogus charges against his political enemies. The case against Tish James was always a sham. Now a second grand jury has reached the same conclusion. Stop the corruption in DOJ!

Just heard my band's new single on 107.1 FM - never had a song I wrote on the radio before! NY metro drivers will relate to this number. #TheHutch www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtEB...

Looking forward to a Mayor taking actual institutional (and legal) control of all city agencies, including the police department. There's been no rudder for too long.

That's very cool! So enjoyable to see. What a time. We got written out. Not sure Cyndi Stivers "gets it," as we used to say in the 90s. It wasn't a TED talk!

The tax lien sale's 2025 return put vulnerable New Yorkers at risk of homelessness, sometimes over a bill that amounted to a few thousand dollars. Outreach work saved many homes but demonstrated the need for policy reform. Read more from Rachel Geballe's City Limits: citylimits.org/opinion-new-...

It’s cool how much of the internet is consistently able to be disrupted by outages at services like Cloudflare, AWS. I see no possible downsides to this.

Two signs the crash must be nigh on recent months: 1. Tech companies have been actively working to spread around the exposure to AI debt 2. People have increasingly been talking about that (which of course ‘strengthens’ the case for bailouts when it comes)

This definitely seems like a good use of taxpayer money

Oh holy night.
