Five concerts you've seen with women lead singers: Everything but the Girl Pat Benatar Cyndi Lauper Destinys Child Sheila E Madonna Robyn Britney Spears Corrs Spinderella Over listed because Im not sure solo artists count. Would like to see live: Blondie Pretenders Garbage St Vincent Other Two

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

@carbajal.house.gov Give them NOTHING!

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.

This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just got an email from my kid’s basketball coach outlining the safety precautions the host school has put in place, including when and how they’ll go into lockdown if the federal secret police show up. Again, schools making plans to protect children from their own government.

A South Korean court has ruled that the 2024 imposition of martial law by then-President Yoon Suk Yeol constituted an act of rebellion as it sentenced his prime minister to 23 years in prison for his involvement.

Just like the 25th isnt One & Done. We have the tools. Where are a handful of republicans or, honestly, why not all of them need to boot Johnson, impeach, try, convict VP & P. Thats it. Thats just not to crash the economy, endanger the world & save millions of lives. Youre afraid? Fuck off.

Evening Crocs. Sadly, no longer Polo crocs for evening.

#therip Im digging it.

Is it just me or does the sight of Joel McHale make anyone else cringe? I like the guy. Soup. Community (which talked about him like he was a F boy). Even the Informant. He just is too post irony ironic.

Thats the one!

Listened to katy tur say trmp misunderstood the exercises in greenland as hostile - as if that made it better in any way?

This post by @pkrugman.bsky.social on "Sundowning" is worth reading. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow... Agree with this conclusion:

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

Carney is bluntly telling the world, and Americans, that the post WW2 order is gone and America is left behind.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

goddam lol

If this was true, it would be unconstitutional for him to accept it without congressional consent. OLC did a whole analysis about this for Obama.

Dear neighbor, I’m joining faith leaders, union representatives and community members who are calling for a Day of Truth and Freedom on Friday, January 23, 2026. This will be a general strike in Minnesota (no work, school, or shopping) in support of our immigrant neighbors. 1/

Im gonna get me kneecaps tuned if I dont stop sharing all the corporate secrets I can share without NDA concerns (or good people).

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers. Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

Agreed. Remember, its not a one and done action. There is a procedure and has outs. With Johnson, it has to be bulletproof. If Im trmp seeing the princes of South America & North America in waiting, practicing plug pulling? If you come for the guy who thinks hes a king…

Jack Smith, the special counsel who prosecuted Donald Trump and obtained 44 felony count indictments, will testify publicly under oath before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday at 10 AM. Legal AF Youtube will have the live feed.

Always a test of how long before I'm fighting angry tears

Under what right? Targeting citizens for exercising free speech for retaliation by the public is definitely not legal, safe or American.

it is and people are being dumb and i say this as a hardcore popular front guy. but RH hasn’t actually engaged in self-interrogation or -criticism. he hasn’t said why he was wrong and what he’s learned from it. he’s trying to rebrand without losing his core audience. he’s been trying all year

Let this radicalize you.

A source confirms to me that this disturbing letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM is real.

Totally insane and stupid.

I simply cant take adults seriously who have an emotional connection to a sport, team or player. Every year, capitalism buys more & corrupts the sport & society - while taking public money and dabbling in self serving politics. Sentimental? Sure. Fun hobby or distraction? Sure! Angry? Grow up.

Its a bobcat. Sweet Pea has been protecting me from a bobcat. Rest up pretty girl. The bobcat has cubs, so we are observing through glass, motion activated lights & as far as possible.

Springsteen at an unbilled performance at a Parkinson’s benefit Sat. in NJ— “…send a message to this President. And as the Mayor of that city has said, ‘ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.’ So this one is for you, and the memory of the mother of three and American citizen Renee Good.”

Sweet Pea is extra tired, having stayed up all night making new, never before heard noises at wildlife. #caturday nap

Amateur move. Fell for fake account immediately before recommending media literacy.

Remember: If it’s Klein, it’s fine. But still check sources. It’s just good practice.

I miss Kaleb Horton. Who writes Americana magazine pieces, anymore?

So I guess it’s good Oregon’s Dem supermajority legislature is about to write/pass legislation withholding federal taxes when the fed misbehaves

With a security guard just out of frame, gloved, I held the first Oscar for Best Picture (Wings) for a live shot. I have so many people to thank. First there was the client, Viacom and the very pliable WGN Morning News team. I could always count on you to show up!
