Oxford University Press has chosen “rage bait” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The open-compound word, which beat out “biohack” and “aura farming,” goes back at least to 2002. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/a...

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Young adults deserve to feel supported as they transition into adulthood. That’s why California is investing $56M to expand access to housing so our youth never have to choose between their education, paying rent, or putting food on the table. We won’t leave them behind.

We don't need fireworks.

Israel has put a hospitalized woman on house arrest for exposing the gang rape of Palestinians committed by Israeli soldiers. Why is US mainstream media not covering this?

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has referred to social media as a “weapon” in Israel’s campaign to shore up support in the US – and saying that the purchase of TikTok by a consortium led by pro-Israel billionaires was a “most important purchase”. #genocide #Israel

The UAE has been supplying UK military weapons to RSF in Sudan. The British government has continued to approve further exports to the Gulf state for military equipment. #UK #UAE #RSF #Sudan

#UAE #Sudan

Sickening people are still supporting Israel in any capacity after this. You have to be a sociopath not to realize what happened here

📌 Can't stop replaying this 😜 Oh she so went there 🤭🤣🐥

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Israel must allow aid groups unimpeded access to Gaza. #ICJ #gaza

Agreed He’s building something that’ll just be summarily demolished when he’s gone, as in this century—unlike prior ones—America mustn’t let sexual-predator insurrectionists build monuments to themselves, especially not when they take a wrecking ball to the People’s House (sans permission) to do it

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Gradual change in UK government policy to start pointing at the elephant in the room.

NEW: Vought is the architect of President Trump’s broader plan to fire civil servants, freeze government programs and dismantle entire agencies. Here are some key things to know about the D.C. insider who wants to take a hatchet to the federal government.

#CancelSpotify They are running ICE ads. They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity. Spread the word. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Senator Jeffrey Merkley claims that Trump is orchestrating a fabricated riot in order to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The Hate America Rally already happened, Mike Johnson. It was held on January 6, 2021, and was orchestrated by your boss. On October 18, patriots across America will honor our commitment to keep America from becoming the dystopic jackboot dictatorship you fascist bootlickers dream of and drool for.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

What the fuck are we doing?

Now, why couldn't the geniuses at universities, law firms, and corporations figure out this simple truth: together we stand, divided we fall?

"In unison." Amen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Portland 🔥

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

One possibility-

This Is Fascism

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

NEW: CNN says it will air a town hall special with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social and Sen. Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov on the government shutdown. The special airs Wednesday, October 15 at 9 p.m. ET.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Jesus. You'd think the "tough" guys in today's Gestapo wouldn't be afraid of frogs but, here we are ...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

💡From a 22-year AMERICAN VETERAN’s perspective..ICE facilities should reflect the values we fought for: dignity, due process & transparency. Detention shouldn’t mean dehumanization🇺🇸🙏

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

You have got to be joking hahaha

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

This Reuters headline. Oof. Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

If you come for my people, you come through me.
