A good time to read this article: lies, truth, propaganda, and what happens in authoritarian regimes. hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/o...

It’s not that complicated, people.

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights. Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

As millions of Americans lose their health insurance, Trump demands a bigger gold encrusted ballroom.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My readers will not be surprised to hear that DHS and DOJ lied their asses off in an emergency filing to the Supreme Court: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u... (gift link)

So either Trump spoke to Bolsonaro about plotting to escape to the US right before the latter got caught trying to saw off his ankle monitor, or Trump imagined a conversation he didn’t have. Both scenarios are incredibly dark

Abuse of power extending beyond Senator Kelly "FBI has requested interviews with six Democratic U.S. lawmakers." DOJ official "said the interviews were to determine 'if there's any wrongdoing and then go from there.'" Note: For video accurately stating military law www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

I know there are much bigger fish to fry in these dystopian times - but for a much needed touch of levity, I had an a-ha moment when I found out who hired Nuzzi as a West Coast editor at Vanity Fair.

"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

If the words illegal orders make the administration lose its mind like this, imagine what they’re planning (or already did) behind the scenes. Their outrage is basically a blinking neon confession. www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-ke...

Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

Remember the $5,000 checks that were promised to American working class families from all government waste DOGE was going to find? It was all a scam and a grift. 😳👇

Meanwhile on Hellsite, who knew all the Elon bots were Nigerian? 🤡

The "wish list of the Russians" is the current WH's list.

How We Grew Numb to Trump’s Calls for the Slaughter of Anyone He Wants "In a sane and healthy democracy, a president behaving in this way – as he has many times over the past decade – would quite possibly trigger impeachment proceedings," writes @swin24.bsky.social. Read: zeteo.com/p/how-we-gre...

Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani more enthusiastically than many mainstream Democrats.

It's a Trumpian bromance - as predicted.

JD Vance is the KOOL AID whisperer. Remember what his boss wanted to do to Mike Pence and others on J6. Plus many other acts of violence, and inciting violence.

About time.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

The "best people."

"Hell no. We don't agree w/ each other about finance, we don't agree w/ each other about immigration, we don't agree w/ each other on foreign affairs – but by God, we can agree we don't want to be ruled by a hand full of rich men who think they're better than the rest of us."

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This practice was endorsed by a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughStop

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Just another Friday.

ABSURD. American cities are not Falluja.

When the conmanship is in your DNA.

The word complicit comes to mind. Survivor and complicit are not mutually exclusive. It depends on the individual.

QED.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Pressure him.

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes. He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses. Again: The law does not apply to them. newrepublic.com/post/202897/...

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I just heard @nealkatyal.bsky.social say on Scotus: "French-revolution(ed?)-them-all." I really like the use of "French-revolution" as a VERB. 💙💙💙

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy. Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Hope the "controlled press" finally exposes his LYING for what it is. Call it what it is.

He is BRAVE. Fear is contagious, but COURAGE is also CONTAGIOUS.

This morning I can see 67 votes to convict on a bill of impeachment.

One of the big ones.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

When people show you who they are, believe them.
