I love this boy so much. This fills me with rage.

Contact your reps/senators about the DHS ICE funding bill now being considered. I emailed my rep Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov. Shes prob supporting the bill because she’s afraid to lead. Throwing more money at ICE under the pretense of reform is immoral and outrageous. Don’t let them do this.

10/10. No notes.

I need an update on the bus driver

Could a man be any smaller?

you want to know why the muppets never leave sesame street: thread

150 faith leaders showed up at Target Corporate today to implore that something, anything be done to protect their employees and customers from 🧊 and they were denied an audience. As a commenter on reddit pointed out, when the clergy show up to rebuke you, you’ve really messed up. #boycottTarget

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

The fight against ICE is the fight against white nationalism is the fight against antisemitism.

Here’s the full piece on why I’m optimistic, even in dark times: open.substack.com/pub/data4dem...

Read this and you’ll feel better.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

I'm not even arguing. I just want to make sure I understand the official position: "If you call the man that shot an unarmed woman in the face 3 times as she drove away while calling her a 'f*cking bitch,' a murderer, then *you* are being hateful, and we'll have to shoot more women in the face"🤡

all my life I was told that America had the greatest system of government ever — but all I can see is one party high-fiving itself over the state-sponsored murder of its citizens, and the other party impotently writing strongly-worded letters about it. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

If you’ve seen the clip of the in-broad-daylight execution of Renee Nicole Good, you know it’s true

But these are the exact types they want.

I think I need to log off because this is all making me crazy and I feel like crying. Something has to change the trajectory we’re on.

Who will be the first member of Congress to introduce legislation named after Renee Good that abolishes DHS?

This murder by ICE today is what Trump wants. He set the stage.

I don’t understand why people think Trump is gonna die anytime soon. I think he’ll stay alive through sheer force of will well past 2028. He’s a great believer in the power of positive thinking. 😫

It took them this long because they needed to get Admiral Holsey, commander of Southcom, out of the way. I have no doubt he refused to establish a blockade. His last day was on Friday Dec 12 & a new guy is in charge down there: I knew something stupid was about to happen: bsky.app/profile/dart...

Using US taxpayer dollars to bomb people and steal another country’s oil for oligarchs to sell to US taxpayers. Taxpayers pay twice, the rich get richer, and climate change from burning fossil fuels gets worse, spreading disasters globally. Murder, corruption, theft, terrorism, climate destruction.

My doctor has officially taken me to elias brother‘s big boy and given me the back of the children’s menu, which no other president has ever taken, where I officially ACED the jumble and found many of the hidden words, including one of the diagonals.

I know I’m probably just a foolish Luddite, but I am pretty sure we can do without plagiarism and misinformation machines that generate horrible sex crimes for the amusement of rape aficionados.

Why is dental insurance and vision insurance separate from regular health insurance? Are your teeth and eyes not a part of your body?????

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

Who gets to be born? Dr. Oz just revealed Trump’s strategy. The writer suggests, “This administration will stop at nothing to ensure the political dominance of White people in this country.” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

In U.S. history, some white people were enslavers & other white people were abolitionists. White people like JD Vance who think teaching about America's history of racism shames white kids should explain why they think white kids will associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔

Not the point, but does he hate his kids too?

I wish this were true. I really do. But it's not. In March of this year, 52% of white Americans approved of Trump's approach to "handling immigration." In December of this year, 53% of white Americans approved of Trump's approach to "handling immigration." Trump's base still loves the cruelty.

This!👇🏻🤷

The entire US economy right now is 5 companies sending billions of dollars back and forth to each other

This is a great clip. Say no to the future they want. But also actively build the future we want. Honestly, I think that's the part we're really struggling with. In the absence of our own vision to give us direction, we'll still get dragged along with whatever is happening.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

id like to talk about how your life has improved since confederate statues were put back. be very specific about the improvements to your life

Why should Ukraine trust Trump and the US gov. on security guarantees? The war would be over if we had helped Ukraine the way we promised we would. It‘a clear Ukraine should join NATO. Biden held back on full support. Now Trump is throwing Ukraine under the bus. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

We have to destroy the billionaires.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

This has been the hardest yr of my life by far, and the challenge (sheer terror about what is happening to a loved one) won’t end when the year does. But I feel extremely blessed, and I am so thankful. I‘ve learned that I need to manage out-of-control anxiety or it will kill me. 😬

A neighbor on my street that I don’t know just came to the door and gave me their leaf vacuum because they’re moving and they saw me blowing my never-ending leaves every year 🥹

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

100% THIS!!!!

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...
