Welcome back to #FossilFriday Here is quite a large solitary rugose (horn) coral belonging to the taxa Grewingkia canadensis. This specimen was collected from the Upper Ordovician Whitewater (upper cincinnatian series) Formation in Indiana.

Vance claimed he never said agents had “absolute immunity,” that the government was investigating the shooting of Renee Good, and that ICE agents weren’t entering homes without judges’ warrants. None of it was true.

It was clear before the election but people didn't believe it. Read Number 4 slowly to know he told us before the election bsky.app/profile/geni...

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

“and then our goons will kidnap that life and send it to a concentration camp if we deem them the wrong color”

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

Remember: if Ted Cruz is seen in Texas in January, it means spring is coming early. If he isn't seen in Texas in January, it means six more weeks of winter.

Omg. They're now detaining 5 year olds and transporting them to a detention facility out of state. Everyone involved with this must face accountability. This is evil and cruel.

Ted Cruz has been caught on camera flying to Laguna Beach, California as Texas is expected to experience another dangerous winter storm.

He’s in the news because people are rightly disgusted a draft dodger is insulting dead soldiers. He wants to be in the news. He doesn’t care what for. I’m not sure what the solution is, but keeping him in the news has secured him a second presidency. Maybe we need to stop putting him in the news.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

TIL they’re calling DHS’s operation in Maine “Catch of the Day.” This dehumanizing language tells you all you need to know. It’s a big joke to them.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

The GOP Congressional members continue to lie and obfuscate the facts about Jan. 6th. They prove their corruption and ignorance. They do not serve Americans but their own corrupt interests.

He’s right, you know

Congressman Jared Huffman Launches Fierce Attack on Trump "if we're real, if we're honest about what's going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the biggest, most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House..."

CEOs at Davos concocted a new euphemism for their shameless cowardice: "Adaptive Normalcy." I have a lot of thoughts about this that you don't want to miss. Become a Democracy Docket premium member to access this and a lot more. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

#Gaza: 3 journalists have been killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their vehicle. According to CPJ, over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza. #Israel has a duty under international law to protect journalists. They must also allow foreign media in.

The US has officially terminated its partnership with the World Health Organization.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

"Eighty years after the death of Hitler and the defeat of Nazi Germany, the US government, in the form of the Trump administration, has a Nazi problem," writes @mehdirhasan.bsky.social.

Brutal

ICE is now operating on public school property in Minnesota. Recently, ICE goons were caught attempting to sneak into Columbia Heights High School. Fortunately, the administration was able to force them to leave. (1/22/26)

In 2018, at the Helsinki summit, Trump publicly sided with Putin over our own intelligence agencies regarding the election interference. This moment is probably one of the most significant propaganda victories for Moscow in decades. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/01/i-wa...

Anyone interested enough in knowing what Trumps “Board of Peace” would look like please see Minneapolis for full details.

Board of POS🖕🏼🖕🏼

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States. Now they ridicule us. JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories". Trump says they never needed us. Never again, America, Never again.

Nothing to see here. Just a picture of some Canadians who came to the aid of the United States when they invoked NATO Article 5. Fuck JD Vance, fuck your Rotting Pedo President, and fuck the enablers who refuse to do what is necessary to end this waking nightmare.

What did you do, donald? It must be fodder for an episode of Criminal Minds.

Frost: Any person who sees the president in his speeches blabbering incoherently knows that there is something bigger going on there.

Voted for ICE funding

Rep. Marie (Glustapo) Gluesenkamp, voted to fund ICE. Below is the progressive Dem running against her. Please place his name in your calendar for voting day with a reminder that Marie Gluesenkamp voted YES to more funding for ICE. brenthennrich.com

That’s a weird way to say “blew out all the veins on his right hand so now he has to use the left for the injections that we refuse to admit he’s getting”

Wall Street crooks, Big Oil liars, tech overlords, war profiteers, and political thugs commit massive crimes and never see a courtroom. The Trump regime incited insurrection and walks free. They buy their freedom, silence the law, and laugh while we pay. Justice isn’t blind, it’s bought.

Update: this 5 year old and his Dad - WHO WERE IN THE US LEGALLY and had committed no crimes - are in detention in Texas. Call your Senators and tell them vote NO on the DHS funding bill. 202 224 3121.

This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here. Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

"We have every force in our society right now trying to push us apart, trying to tell us to give up on politics, on government, and on one another. And if that succeeds, the authoritarian forces that we see right now...that will be their final victory." @mcbride.house.gov:
